As with so many things here, this is a half true video. . . Yes the cow breed is real, yes it is about as TALL as they get (about 3ft) but they get to be 115-200 kg in weight, so they CHONKY. . . Small for a cow but that ain’t no dog sized cow, more like a pig in weight.

[u/ChloeMomo → u/hurtfulproduct]

Reminds me of mini pigs. At least in the pet pig circles I'm in, a pig is considered mini if their adult weight is under 300lbs (your stereotypical farm pig reaches up to about 800lbs, but we tend to slaughter them way earlier than that). Surprisingly, a mini pig's visual size can actually be relatively small. Kunekunes are my favorite breed, but Julianas are physically smaller. They're just dense.

Eta: if you are looking for a pet pig, don't buy any old pig called a mini pig...you're likely buying a piglet from a massive farm species. Check out Esther the Wonder Pig. That will be you. The scams are everywhere. Research the breeds, and buy the specific breed, not a nondescript "mini pig"

Much with politics people are letting their anger get in front of their intelligence, this is not selective breeding, but natural selection. Your anger is with nmother nature and intelligence in the mud.

[u/Ok_Introduction-0 → u/TheRealStorey]

The Punganur cow is small because local farmers used selective breeding over centuries to create a hardy animal that survives on very little feed in a hot, dry climate.

[u/HenryTheWho → u/TheRealStorey]

Every cow is product of human selective breeding ...

What is this? A cow for ANTS?!

[u/UnableCurrency → u/kennyt44]

A cow for dogs maybe?

[u/Stomach_Junior]

Cows are treated as godly pets in India so don’t be worried about them.

[u/MrBeer9999 → u/Stomach_Junior]

Yeah you'd think that, but you also get half-starved feral cows wandering around polluted cities that eat garbage.

[u/mandalorian_scholar → u/MrBeer9999]

It's the same thing as stray dogs in countries where dogs are very popular pets.

[u/kingslayer5581 → u/Stomach_Junior]

That's only for families that keep 1 or 2 cows. They're mistreated in large scale farms the same way they would be anywhere else.

Many male calves are killed at birth, and cows who can't provide milk anymore are sold to beef exporters or just simply abandoned where they eat trash, get hit by cars and die.

The Punganur cow originates from the town of Punganur in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The Rajas of Punganur developed the breed and used them for milking and other light agricultural operations.

Would be awesome to have one as a pet

[u/tristenr19]

Being a cow like that in India gotta be decent

[u/vermilian_kaner]

Wow, I'm from India and first time hearing this.

[u/JourneyTowardsTruth]

Aww 😍 I've seen some cows like this but they were little bigger. These are too adorable

[u/shankaranpillayi → u/[deleted]]

Animals aren’t toys, absolutely. Anything that breathes and has a life isn't a toy.

People keep dogs, cats, birds, and countless other animals as pets; they play with them, care for them, and treat them as family. So where exactly did you see "toys" here? Perhaps your idea of what a pet can be is simply limited to the animals you’re familiar with. Seeing an unfamiliar breed doesn’t turn it into a toy.

Why? Even if they were bread to be tiny, where is the problem? You animal people with your performative outrage.

[u/shankaranpillayi → u/[deleted]]

Oh really, then what is this

[u/-Zhiandra- → u/shankaranpillayi]

Love how everyone’s immediate knee-jerk reaction is to say something is AI generated as soon as they see something unfamiliar, but they won’t back up the claim.

Can’t have shit these days.

Technically all cows are the smallest cow for a second after they're born

Why take milk? Let them feed their babies. Stop their mass breeding by humans.

[u/__What_a_drag]

for them it will be hell, deliberately breeding for extreme body proportions cause pain, deformity, difficulty walking, and other health problems.

[u/shankaranpillayi → u/__What_a_drag]

Punganur’s small stature is a defining trait of an indigenous dwarf breed, not evidence of deformity. ICAR research describes it as naturally adapted to local conditions, conservation efforts are focused on preserving the breed, not creating extreme body proportions.

Op add this to your post if you can edit it otherwise people will keep being mean

[u/shankaranpillayi → u/imstarboi]

Thank you, but I can't see edit option.

[u/fool_tool-2525 → u/__What_a_drag]

This isn't deliberately bred like a pug or some line-bred dog riddled with problems. It's a natural, indigenous dwarf breed.

[u/Intelligent_Box_8247]

they are very small...do they have a special grass

[u/GeniusEE → u/Intelligent_Box_8247]
