You hear birds chirping and the morning sun on your face as you wake up. You notice yourself sunken about two inches into soft dirt and notice a plain plank fence in front of you. Your first thought is that you got in a car wreck and got thrown in a field, then as your mind unclouds you remember the female doctor and answering the add in the student newspaper.
"Rise and shine beefcake", the cheerful greeting comes from a college age woman wearing overalls over a PITA T-shirt.
Shaking your bull's head you try to get up but discover a heavy chain around your neck holding you to a concrete anchor in the middle of the pen. It has some slack and you hobble over to the side of the fence with the girl.
"The professor said you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, but judging by your leather shoes I think it's safe to say you didn't already regard animals as equals. Don't feel too badly though, once this is successful and farmers across the globe have the change to keep up with prices, then a lot more people will think like we do. But until then we have to play the system and produce cows to be slaugtered for meat."
You swing your hand down in anger and split a plank, you reach to grab the student but she's well out of range. You use your two fingured hoofed hands and thumbs to grab the chain and try to pull the anchor. Pulling with your neck you suddenly loose your breath as the chain chokes you and you fall to the ground gasping for air.
"You'll embrace our ideals as soon as tutoring starts, my major was in animal husbandry."
The girl walks off, she's probably a grad student for that doctor, or professor, that'd explain her loyalty. Looking around now you see that you're surrounded by forest and see only a dirt road in the distance. Even if you do get out you don't know where to go, and if those redwoods mean this is California you'll probably run into another PITA hippy who'll just take you back to 'the great social experiment' anyways.
You roll onto your back and just feel the cool mud on your naked body while looking up at the morning sky. As a minotaur you still have color vision and can move your eyes, maybe you could gain this girl's trust and use her to get changed back, there didn't seem to be anyone else around. Closing your large bovine eyes you extend your ears, you don't hear anything besides nature, you're certain you'd have heard the hum of a power line if one were nearby. All you hear is wind rustling, birds, and the mooing of cows.
You suddenly open your eyes and take a deep breath, you smell cows...
