Around midday on December 24, the phone rang at the head office in Henndorf. An excited animal rights activist was on the other end of the line, telling the story of an escaped cow. Action had to be taken quickly so that she didn't end up at the slaughterhouse on Christmas Eve... But now back to the beginning of the story: Lieni had run away from the butcher on December 24th and was running for her life. She didn't know where to go, she didn't know how far, she just started running. She had probably already sensed what the day would mean for her... She came to a halt in a large meadow near a village inn. There was also a fence here. And right on the other side of the fence stood Lieni's rescuer, the lady who couldn't believe that another cow was to be slaughtered on Christmas Eve. She acted quickly and called us directly. She didn't move from the spot either, so as not to expose the nervous Lieni to any more danger.
