About this ebook
Hackel's message was loud and clear, "The cows belong to me, and if you try to interfere, I will make them suffer." Diana Danton had no reason to doubt the farmer's cruel words. After all, Hackel Miller was a beef farmer, and following Swiss tradition, cows should be slaughtered—not rescued.
Diana Danton had left behind a career and family to move to Switzerland to be with the man she loved. Little did she know that her relationship with "Baby" and the rescue effort to save her life would plant the seeds of animal activism that would shape her life in ways she never could have imagined.
"Was I destined to save Baby, or was she destined to save me from myself?"
"Was it a coincidence, or a blessing that Baby bore a perfectly shaped white heart on her leg?"
"I, too, was one of those flesh-eating monsters until Baby opened my eyes to the difference between property, and the sentient creature who captured my heart and soul."
"That was the manifesto of the beef farmer: take no responsibility for your actions, decide the fate of sentient creatures using all methods of torture and abuse available, and do it all in the name of profit."
Would Diana Danton be able to rescue Baby from the clutches of the evil farmer? The answer is not clear . . . Perhaps it lies within the heart and the desire to change oneself.
