While the predicament of dairy and beef cows has gained more traction in the U.S in recent years, much less is known about the plight of bulls born into the intensively reared beef industry.
A rescue bull known as Batman has shed a little light on the issue in a video showing him experiencing freedom and feeling grass for the first time, after spending the first four years of his life in a stall, used for breeding.
In the video posted by the Reject Ranch with more than 1.1 million views on TikTok, Batman can be seen checking out his new enclosure, at first unsure, then after “slowly taking it all in,” doing zoomies in the grass.
“It’s moments like these that make all the hard work, time, and money so unbelievably worth it!” reads the caption.
