Cows and Conflict

Cattle are a big part of Africans daily lives. People have cattle to show what they are worth, sell their cattle for money, and also use the cattle as dowry payments. A man named John Mabil had done so himself, he has college loans to pay off and also to use what cattle were left for his future wives family. Although he had all these big plans, while he was away 11 of his cattle from his farm had died. Just like that his life plans were ruined. It was said that his cattle had died from disease. This is directly related to the people of Africa because if everyones live stock is suddenly dying from disease their losing money and their potential future. Livestock is responsible for their everyday lives and their future plans. This affects the daily life styles of the people from Africa.
