Cows receive human care in Russia’s 'cow orphanage'

Animal enthusiasts in Russia have founded the first and only orphanage for aged and abandoned cows.

The animals in the unique shelter are given Hindu names and quality 'human' care, which includes birthday celebrations. The shelter looks after 25 cows in total.

Volunteers wish to continue and expand their activity by raising money online. The founders are influenced by Hindu ideas and traditions. The shelter is open to the public allowing them to feed the cows.
