Kenyans React to Cows Flying Business Class
The post quickly gathered a wave of amused reactions, with many Kenyans joking that the cows had managed to board a flight before they ever could.
Ishmael Sigei:
"Imagine cows boarding a plane before I board, Sasa kati Yangu na ng'ombe Nani ni ng'ombe."
Amos Kariuki:
"Any flight attendants serving them with grass and water? Some cows are so lucky. What do they take mid journey? Strawberry grass garnished with mollasses?"
Abdul Malik Douglas Ngari:
"China has a majestic Panda-diplomacy; it seems is on pedigree exotic breeds cows-diplomacy; they call it a reciprocity stance/act in their diplomatic jargon."
Eric Maina:
"Cows looking for greener pastures, I wish I would advise the cows like my HR once said, grass is not always greener on the other side."
Joel Odero:
"Are you also planning to airfreight the water buffalos from India? Count me in and also remember to share the cow's feelings airborne."
The viral moment served as an unexpected showcase for Kenya Airways Cargo's capacity to handle live animal charters, even if, for many Kenyans online, the most pressing question remained how the cows managed to secure seats first.
