Austrian Cow Becomes First Documented to Use Tools

Narrative A

Cattle have been grossly underestimated and dismissed as unintelligent when the real problem is that factory farming denies them the opportunity to develop their cognitive abilities. Veronika's tool use proves cows possess sophisticated intelligence that emerges when given enriching environments and long lifespans instead of industrial confinement. The absurdity isn't a cow using tools — it's humans never recognizing bovine intelligence despite living alongside cattle for thousands of years.
