"It's not nice for any farmer to take animals to the slaughterhouse."

Karin Hofer

Author Urs Mannhart also works as an organic farmer. The cow Lentille is the main character in his new book about a human-animal relationship in which caring and utility are not mutually exclusive. He also explores the question of what it takes to determine a cow's well-being. And what the consequences are if we also grant farm animals a personality.
