Well that was a village in some third world country, no? a cow there would be a whole 'nother kettle of fish compared to having somebody go to the shrink and take a prescription back to the pharmacy, then to be led out of the back and into a fenced in grass pasture.
Psychologically, obviously 1st-world decent countries aren't desperately short of cows, and neither does your average household have the means to look after a cow.
Helping to give someone the tools to change their own life, and if still needed regardless, then further support, yes, it would be a good thing IF it could be implemented. But where there is poor awareness, underfunding, sometimes discrimination and prejudice. Anything done also needs oversight, to stop the likes of all the damn muslim immigrants flooding countries like england and the rest of GB as well as the EU coming over to sponge and to bleed us for all they can grub out of the system with their mucky little trotters. There are always going to be no shortfall of shithead spongers who are out to game the system, and when active life-circumstances start to be on the menu of availability (although I do realize some people do need help), its then that the spongers will come, especially the foreigners, demanding NHS treatment and using it as a backdoor to sneak into the country on 'medical grounds' (doctor, doctor, I've a severe allergy to bacon....I need the NHS to fund treatment, or I'll die, oh noez!'.....*doctor 'it will be if you don't get the fuck out of my surgery you greedy allah-bashing, blood-sucking burka parasite*
