Quick Summary

A dairy cow named Vahine was rescued from a muddy spot on a mountain in the Pyrenees range in France. Because she was too weak to walk down herself and vehicles could not reach her due to her location, rescuers used a helicopter to airlift her to safety. The operation was documented in a video showing Vahine securely tied to the helicopter as it flew across the mountains. Thankfully, Vahine made it safely to the ground and began recovering from her ordeal.

Story summary

On September 11, a dairy cow named Vahine got stuck in the mud while grazing in the Pyrenees mountain range in France. Due to the steep terrain and inaccessible roads, rescuers decided to use a helicopter to airlift her to safety. The cow was too weak to navigate down the mountain on its own. After being placed in a sling, she was flown across the mountainside, an operation that amazed onlookers but also raised questions about Vahine's condition and feelings during the flight. Witnesses like Olympe Provest were impressed by both the rescue effort and curious about how the cow felt about flying. The video of this unusual rescue has garnered significant attention online for its humor and ingenuity in animal welfare situations.
