Wandering Cows

From television we see many cows wandering in the green land at New Territories in Hong Kong. They have no homes and no masters. They live a free life under the open sky. The green land is their home, eating the grass from land as their food and sleep in the land in the night. But they live a life with strong body condition. They have to face fierce sun shine and rain and storm. When the land has no more grass, they will change to another piece of green land. This is what their life today and will continue until they die.
Where the wandering cows come from? It was that many years ago, farmers of New Territories depend on those cows to plow the land to plant seeds for food. But now the land is turned to build houses, and those cows are no more required for their service.
Due to the sentiment with the cows, the cow’s owners did not want to sell for slaughter. On the other and, they were not able to feed the cows. Therefore, they set the cows to be free to become wandering cows. Let them live or die by God’s grace.
As cows have a habit to live on a place where they have grown up, and as a result, cows are wandering on the green land where there is grass near their former master’s house. No one knows what will be the consequence to those cows.
