Of course they had a ventilation system, but that is part of why the fire spread so fast. As usual there was no way to evacuate the cows. Most of them would have been trapped in their pens.
One thing I noticed in the article was the point they made about everyone getting to safety and then they mention the 800 dead cows. Everyone clearly didn't get to safety.
Yes, cramming so many cows into such a small area could never be a good idea -either for the cows' welfare, or for the additional infrastructure needed (presumably electrical equipment which would only be required to maintain so many animals in a small area !)
And yes....sad isn't it, that humans can say "everyone got to safety" ? No -everyone didn't. 800 lives lost is a huge tragedy.
