The Oktoberfest is one of the biggest folk festivals and is known worldwide. It stands for conviviality, tradition and cozy get-togethers. However, every four years a large agricultural exhibition is held on the fringes of this festival. This is all about machinery, modern agriculture and animals. Around 800 of these animals are awarded prizes and exhibited for two weeks - as "advertising" for animal-friendly forms of husbandry in modern agriculture. Every day, many people visit this exhibition, see the four-legged friends, some perhaps stroke them, and then move on. Very few of them realize that all this means enormous stress for the animals. Nor do they realize that the end of the exhibition is often a death sentence for the animals due to the strict epidemic regulations. In 2016, animal lovers stood up for the goats and Linda became an Aiderbichler.
