Photos: Cows Grazing in Front of the Bundestag in Germany

In Germany, the environmental organization Greenpeace and the Rural Agricultural Working Group (AbL) have brought cows to graze on the lawn in front of the Bundestag as a protest against keeping cows in barns.

Greenpeace campaign spokesperson Lasse van Aken stated that the appearance of cows on the lawns in central Berlin may seem strange, but emphasized that they spend 70 percent of the year in barns.

“It should be noted that the cow belongs in the pasture,” he said.
