When somebody calls you an “old cow” it is meant as an insult. At Karuna Society the term “Old Cow” is a compliment, for the cow and the society. Since 2002 Karuna has rescued more than 700 cows, buffaloes, donkeys and horses. Where in the world can you find an old cow that looks like it? Hip bones sticking out, walking slowly – that happens when you are a 24 year old cow or buffalo. Most milking cows and buffalo go for slaughter after giving birth to a few calves and the amount of milk she delivers is less every year. Without profit the still young animals are sold for slaughter. An old cow is a rare sight. We do not have the power to change the cruel milking industry but with your help our rescued cattle can live out their natural life in peace. THANK YOU for your continued support!
