In honor of my new novel being published—Cinnamon: A dairy cow's (and her farmer's) path to freedom—by Adelaide Books (Lisbon/New York), I thought I would bring you the story of Sacred the cow, the actual cow who inspired this novel and changed our lives.
Just this morning, my partner Barbara and I went to a friend's hose where I found a copy of my novel Cinnamon in this friend's reading pile. This was before I received my author's copes, so it was the first time I saw my book in print.
Five years ago, I met our late cow friend Sacred when she was a dairy cow. Knowing how the cows were (mis) treated and then slaughtered after they were done being milked, caused me to go vegan (I also experienced major improvements in my health).
A group that my partner was involved with was able to rescue Sacred and send her to live at The Cow Sanctuary where she was able to live out the rest of her natural life. Here is a short video of Barbara singing Sacred's song (which Barbara wrote) at The Cow Sanctuary. Sacred knew and responded to her song.
