Spooky 
As weird as this may sound, I mean literally reach in and touch the inside of the cow!
In case you didn’t know animals can live perfectly well with a permanent hole in their stomachs. Scientists call these surgically made holes, fistulas, which are covered by a canulla, a sort of cover from the outside world. They are used to test the digestibility of various cattle food, the cows are fed and as the food passes through her stomachs, scientist can just reach in and see how it is processed. As brutal as it might look, this doesn’t hurt the animals at all, it actually prolongs their life, in case of stomach disease, they can receive helping medicine directly in there.
The one thing I don’t approve of is people sticking their hand in animals just out of curiosity, like the kid in our photo. Sure it’s not something you’d call ordinary, but turning a medical procedure into a circus isn’t very ethical.

I have been learning a lot about this lately and it’s not cruel at all. They use this for research to help cows with feeding and stomach problems and so that they can learn more about cows to make their life better. So the people who think it’s cruel and it’s hurting the cow it doesn’t and it’s just a way to make it better.

Why in the first place they want to do this to the poor dumb cow anyways??!! we are already eating the poor things, why not just put their hands up its butt? I want to see some humans with this fistulas and cannulas permanently… we got lots of fatties out there that this could help!
mankind playing god again!! why fix a good thing when it aint broke?!

Do you eat meat? Because if you do then you should know that so many more unethical things happen to the cows that end up on your plate. At least these cows get to live comfortably on a farm with people that take care of them. The hole doesn’t harm them and it can help promote better health and awareness.
What about the cows bones do they have to cut them too, when they make the operation? Or is it just a flesh?
