PETA Kids’ ‘Cows Are My Friends’ Coloring Page

Cows are friends, not food! These gentle beings have a variety of traits, just like humans. Some cows are quick learners, while others aren’t. Some are adventurous, while others are shy. Some are friendly, while others are bossy. No matter what their personality traits may be, however, they’re complex individuals who make long-lasting friendships and enjoy having fun—and mother cows and their calves love each other. One thing that’s definitely true about cows is that they don’t want to die, and they especially don’t want to be killed for food!

Other Ways You Can Help Cows

Say, “No, thank you,” when asked to eat animals! Choose a vegan option instead—like a vegan burger or veggie meatballs.

Ditch dairy, and enjoy vegan milk and ice cream instead. The dairy industry rips families apart, so ask your family to try plant-based options.

Share our “Cow Wow” song with your family and friends. It was written by Tony Award winners and reveals just how interesting cows really are!
