Save Cows article as Readers Reply on Article ‘A Perspective on Panjarapoles (Animal Shelter) of India’ by Mr. Brett Evans.[1]
A very nice article has been written by Mr. Brett. And we really appreciate all pain he has taken. Kudos. From his survey we have learnt that condition of animals needs attention & also that Jain animal activist, other animal welfare volunteers do have hardcore compassionate feeling while serving animals in such panjrapoles. And we all agree that eventually problem does exist. And we should come together to solve problem & as running away from problem is not a true solution.
In west when a person enters a coma stage he is most often declared as dead but in India we don’t treat person in coma stage as a dead person and we in fact try our best by keeping a positive hope. So need for hour is to deal with the problem.
From ancient times, India has been mainly famous for its agriculture where usually each and every family used to own cows, bulls, elephants, horses, dogs. These animals were then treated as a family member and each had an important role to play. Then came modernization & as man had its own vehicle he required only cows and bull for agriculture. Then major problem aroused due to further modernization. And biggest fault was to accept ‘tractor’ culture & due to bulls were jobless and hence were sent to Slaughter Houses. Soon came dairy houses and people started moving to urban areas surrendering their cows to local dairy houses. So now a man who used to personally take care of cow & its kids were now cared by dairy houses.
Today most of vegetarians are unaware about malpractices & cruelty on cow & how its kids are deprived from milk. So what’s solution? Going Vegan? No.
- Imagine if all vegetarians completely stop drinking milk as per veganism, again many cows who were at least kept alive for its milk will be jobless and will be sent to Slaughterhouses. It’s like as we can’t see pathetic condition of these cows its better to leave her die. Let’s come together & share our idea to solve problem as completely living milk is going to trigger problem.
- As a solution we can try to avoid commercial products like Cheese, Butter which has put extra pressure on cows & as same has been main culprit behind modernisation. Atleast some relief can be provided.
- Second solution is to make an attempt of purchasing Organic Milk or demanding Dairy Houses to provide organic milk.
- Appealing Govt. to ban Cow Slaughter, to regulate Dairy Houses, to regulate Panjrapoles, to impose guidelines for Cow’s & her kids health, as generally cow gives sufficient milk for its kids & then rest for humans. Human greediness is root cause of many problems. If we avoid cheese or butter or minimize milk drinks atleast thing can get better.
- Planning for a latest technically equipped Gowshalas & then motivating people to buy organic milk from such places.As same is slow process, we need to have patience. Its like making attempts for developing infrastructure for organic milk & well equipped Gowshalas.
- From all animals, in Asia cows have been revered most and considered as a mother, as it not only nourishes its own kids but also whole human race. Its byproducts are valued most mainly because of its spiritual properties. India has been admired worldwide for its spirituality. And cow has been credited for bestowing spiritual powers and developing feeling of compassion among humans. And we find that majority of early Indian rulers also had imposed Ban on cow slaughtering. In India persons from each and every faith follower may be ready to contribute money for upliftment of Cows and her family. We request our NRI brothers that we need hardcore volunteers and activist from you who can work shoulder to shoulder with our Indian gowshala volunteers or other animal activist. More than your money we need your support. Together we can make an attempt to make things better.
Indian Breed Cows Milk, dung, urine has many spiritual & physical benefits. India’s breed of cows are counted as far superior cows in world for same. And hence there lies huge difference in benefits derived from western cow’s milk & Indian cow’s milk. Many researches have proved same in past. An 8 oz. glass of milk provides a large percentage of your recommended daily allowance of important vitamins and minerals. Cow's milk and its products give health to the young and the aged people and helps them to lead a healthy life. From Cows Milk we get Proteins, Calcium, Phosphorus, Riboflavin, Vitamin D, B12 and same explains that this mother has played major role in nourishing us physically and spiritually.
Truly cow is our mother. Lets come together to save her. This mother has fed lord Krishna with its maakhan, This mother has fed many Jains & in Gautam Swami ni labdhi we refer to kheer (a milk product).
