I felt surprised by the way, how these cows follow their master's voice during the bath! The cows are familiar with him and he is mindful of them and their behaviour!
The cows yield to his voice because they feel cared for and protected.
The man-animal behaviour is a mutually obligatory relationship.
The earlier thought was to tame the animal, but now I find more people treat animals regardfully beyond the utilitarian purpose.
This young man talks to the cows and plays music for them. He spends time with them to make them feel cared for. He takes them for a short walk every day!
What was striking on one occasion was that he left the cows in the stream after the bath for a while, instructing them to stay there. He returned after about ten minutes. The cows followed his instruction and waited for him!
I found that as a surprising behaviour! How trusting the cows are and feel secure in their master's voice!
This young man made the cows to feel that way!
How much our behaviour conditions the behaviour and response of others!
