I thought I'd post some of the images I had been working with in the early stages of my current project. This is the Bubble Chair by Eero Aarnio. Seeing it function hanging from the ceiling reminded me of an experience we had on our farm with one our our holsteins.
An example of a commercial sling for cattle, used to move them or to pick up injured animals, called "downers". My dad constructed one of these using large seed bags and nylon straps in our barn.I plan to reconstruct this, as well as the bubble chair using this material.
Until more strict regulations and laws were put in place, downer cattle still went to sale. I think there's also a PETA video that came out a few years ago that showed some workers pushing a downed cow with a skid-loader. It's heartbreaking.
