I imagine that cows generally accept that things happen around them, and to them, which they have little control over or understanding of. [Things just happen -what the heck.] -some Discworld philosopher. But when fire, which somewhere in the recesses of any animals instincts should be associated with fear, but which as matter of experience is an unknown, erupts from your body the mind will have to stir. It's like that aborigine who's first contact with modernity was to witness a atomic bomb.
It’s a Trocar - you can get the kind that you shove in or screw in - then you remove the trocar and leave the cannula in so the gas can vent from the rumen. It happens a lot, apparently. Dr. Pol a large animal vet with a TV show, does them frequently.

Isn't there a risk they'll set the barn roof alight?

I mean: look at that face. You can see how the gears slowly start to turn. That shit really got her attention.

Just thinking of how satisfying it must be to the cow when moment by moment pressure is being released. I'm almost jealous.

Cow bombs

Cow, “C’mon, man, what the hell….”

Yup. That's a direct pipe going into the ruminating stomach. Normally the cow is able to burp the gas away, but sometimes it gets trapped.
IgnisInvictus
That sounds just like an oxy-acetylene torch. I've read it smells horrific.

Imagine welding with a cow

That can't be pleasant, but it's gotta be better than death by bloat.
PraiseAzathoth
I imagine inserting the pipe, not so fun. But the gas release has got to be relieving.

I understood everything except for the words trocar, cannula, and rumen.
