Synopsis

Inje County's Sinwol Village becomes the focal point for Animal Liberation Wave activists as they rescue 15 cows found near an illegal dog farm. The activists name them "Flower Cows" and secure temporary shelter for six at a local ranch. They seek a permanent home by collaborating with elderly residents to build Korea's first cow sanctuary. Their efforts culminate in repurposing a closed school in Sinwol, marking a significant achievement in animal welfare.
