    Like all journeys of enlightenment, initial answers only raise more and deeper concerns. Why aren’t they wearing scrubs? Why aren’t they wearing to-the-shoulder medical gloves? Why are they smiling? Why do 30% of the cows smile and groan with pleasure? Why do ranchers form close affectionate bonds with one cow, their favourite?
