The Oktoberfest is considered one of the largest folk festivals and is known worldwide. It stands for conviviality, tradition and cosy get-togethers. But on the fringes of this festival, a large agricultural exhibition takes place every four years. It is all about machinery, modern agriculture and animals. About 800 of these animals are awarded prizes and exhibited for a fortnight - as an "advertisement" for animal-friendly husbandry methods in modern agriculture. Every day, many people visit this exhibition, see the four-legged friends, some may pet them, and move on. Very few of them consider that all this means enormous stress for the animals. Nor do they realise that the end of the exhibition is often the death sentence for the animals, due to the strict disease regulations. In 2016, animal lovers stood up for the goats and Bonita became part of our family.
