A cow came to Brussels
That’s what we do, take pictures. Even of cows coming to the city showing solidarity with their owners, the farmers. Farmers who don’t earn enough money on the milk, so they can make a living. This cow had come together with hundreds of Belgian farmers to the European Union headquarters in Brussels asking help from the EU farm ministers.
The cow’s finest job was to get the interest of the media and that way get the message out, that farmers must have more money if they are to survive. At least in this case, as my picture show, I think both the cow and the photographer was surprisingly interested in each other.
Now we just have to wait and see if the milk will be more expensive.
