A group of old Romanian farmers hit the headlines this week over the illegal feed their cows were enjoying!
Head to Romanesti in the Botosani region of Romania and you'll find a bunch of very cheerful cows. Newspapers ran the story this week that five farmers, ranging in age from 57 to 82 years old, planted their fields with cannabis to feed to their herds of cows.
They said sorry, of course, and told police they had no idea that their actions were illegal. By way of explanation, one farmer said, "We grew it because the cows seemed to like it, and happy cows give more milk". These are the lovely kind of people you can meet when traveling in the Romanian countryside.
Stay tuned here for travel tips on Romania in the weeks to come.
