I would love to see parks / urban sanctuaries created throughout the cities for cows. In my home country of NZ, in Auckland city we have urban parks on the many volcanoes with sheep grazing the grass. (As an example Google image search: One Tree Hill Auckland). In India Instead the cows roam the concrete…[Read more]

Fencing is the most pragmatic – although there is opportunity in design to develop interesting / creative fencing solutions. Bollards could be an interesting aproch.I was considering that where room is sufficient plants that are deterrents to cows could be used – perhaps something very un-tasty for cows, spiky and hardy /…[Read more]

However to continue this thought another similar idea for larger sites is tall steps that are pedestrian friendly but not traversable by cattle.
As a note: Parks within Indian city’s are always fenced to keep…[Read more]
