Cows In Front Of My Window

I recently moved to a valley near Quito. It’s a suburban area that belongs to Quito with all its services, but still a bit more quiet.

In many ways I find this neighborhood to be more modern than that of the previous apartment located in the city. However, a few days ago I discovered some cows taking a walk on the streets in front of our building.

I know, this is the developing world. But I’d forgotten what is like to have a cows “commuting” on the streets. There’re no cows anymore in the urban area of Quito, maybe for already 20 years or so.

I should mention: I’m afraid of cows .

My cow-neighbors are soon going to disappear as this area gets more populated.  I wonder what the perfect solution will be, to keep pastures and cows for fresh milk provision and allow more dwellings to be built in the area.

Do you know of a city that successfully combines urbanization along with animal breeding and available local fresh food supply?
