This cow escorts the bus driver that killed her calf daily
It’s truly a story that will move you. The incident took place in Uttara Kannada, a district in Northern Karnataka. A bus driver in the region killed a calf in a hit and run accident near a signal. The grieving cow spends her days near the same spot her calf was killed. The bus was a district bus and the same driver who was responsible for the hit and run accident still drives the bus. However, the cow remembers the driver and chases his bus everyday. She doesn’t harm the driver or the passengers nor does she try to stop him. She just keeps walking slowly ahead of the bus and makes sure that the driver does not flout any rules or no one else is killed.
While different accounts suggest different timelines for the incident, the accident happened around 4 years age. The cow who was grieved would initially butt the vehicle but soon started to quietly chase it only across that path and make sure that the incident is not repeated. It is only that particular bus that the cow stops and chases. She does not disturb any other vehicles. The driver has tried multiple tricks to get rid of the animal and even repainted the bus entirely but the cow continues to track him. The cow only stops the driver from speeding and goes back to her original spot once the driver has crossed that particular path where the accident occurred. People even chase the cow and threaten it with sticks but she continues undeterred.
Might seem strange but the poor dumb animal continues to grieve and is asking for justice 4 years after the incident. It is truly an amazing tale which proves how we humans have no value for animal life but poor animals who cannot express their pain and grief resort to show humans their feelings through simple actions.
