Lebenshilfe Kuh & Co e.V.

About us

We are committed to combating poor animal husbandry, factory farming and animal transportation. In events and campaigns, we draw attention to abuses in the treatment of 'farm animals' and explain the links between the agricultural industry, factory farming and consumer behavior. We also provide information about the consequential damage caused by intensive farming, e.g. the increasing nitrate pollution of groundwater through liquid manure and the increase in multi-resistant germs due to the massive use of antibiotics in stables.

We have saved a small herd of farm animals from the slaughterhouse and give them a secure, dignified life with loving care. Our herd of cattle has a symbolic character: by providing information about the stories of our animals, who would all be dead under 'normal circumstances', we want to draw attention to the fate of millions of animals who suffer and die miserably under unspeakable conditions.
