If you visit the RusMoloko dairy farm near Moscow, in Russia, you may think you've arrived at a bizarre futuristic film set. Here, cows supposedly roam around fitted with VR headsets.
The VR goggles aren't props for a film, however. They have been specially made for these dairy cows to help them relax in order to produce more milk, according to a press release from Moscow's Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
At least, that's what was reported in a press release from Moscow's Ministry of Agriculture and Food. But it turns out there are some reasons to be skeptical.

Humans are very visual creatures. Our eyes are better than most animals' eyes. I get the feeling piping in the smell of a meadow would be more effective than VR goggles.
The only problem with that plan is I don't really know how cows smell. (I know, I know, I should go find some and find out for myself. :P)

Seems like a bit of a repeat. I had a memory of that I made fun of this already. Mo' Moloko!

With Ivan may think he's developed a clever biological weapon here, little does he realize that as soon as they are deployed in the USA the typical lard-ass American will devour them with fries.

All a cow does is eat, shit, and moo, They have a wonderful countryside view with a pasture.
They do not have to work, or put food on the table. They do not even need to wear clothes.
They even have farmers feeling up their tits every day.
So what stress is there?
Now with 5 covid vaccine shots/boosters altering my DNA :P

Either this game [goat-simulator.com] or this one [goose.game] should do quite nicely.
