Welcome to BJP's INDIA - now camel slaughter banned as it hurts Hindu sentiments

[Donatello]

Yes. But the protection was not because they were worshiped, but because their numbers dwindled due to illegal poaching and this impacted the ecosystems adversely.

What's next.....poultry?

Why is this forum filled with loons of the first order? All you had to do was to click on the effin link the OP provided. Not even that. You just hovered over it and the status bar still gave out the title of the article
"Rajasthan Assembly bans slaughter of camels owing to their dwindling population". And we have had 3 pages of discussion before someone points out you've been trolled

And then you have Sagarika Ghose and Rajdeep Sardesai thrown in for good measure

I am more concerned about pigeons in South Mumbai. Road after road is piled with pigeon pooo.. I want to sit of top of Rajabai Clock tower with a sniper rifle .

So you'll be fine if people start killing the cows and camels in non-Halaal manner?

Yes...if they are slaughtered in a humane way...but the word "slaughter" itself isn't humane.

 

[Dragon Ball]

I did not know that people kill even camels for meat ; poor animals

Why cant meat eaters eat dog meat

There are millions of stray dogs in India

Stray dog population too has come down drastically. Congress govt was busy killing all animals.

1. i start with my estimate of dogs in india being 60+ million.

2. indian governments are not known for being sensible about social/political policies and concerns, and i won't trust their numbers on human census much less on dogs when i know that dogs have been killing/attacking people openly since 1998 and no central establishment has taken steps to kill dogs... look at this case ( Female foetuses in Beed fed to dogs to hide evidence | Daily Mail Online )... even after such things when dogs are allowed to live on roads, there is no reason to trust government numbers.

3. how are dogs a concern of "department of animal husbandry" when dogs have been attacking/killing people and have almost made cats extinct... this should have been a concern of the home ministry... but this being not so means that the establishment is not taking the matter seriously.

4. dogs in india are not kept under strict license... many people are foolish to feed stray dogs which then breed hugely and these dogs at various times in their life migrate to different areas... therefore their numbers cannot be precisely known by government officers who are not using methods which are scientific and use common sense... look what i found in the initial pages...

this is rubbish.

unless the "knowledgeable persons" of a municipal ward are themselves fighting the menace of dogs or at least angry about the dog menace, they will be sympathetic to dogs and will not tell the government officers how many dogs they feed on their street, much less in their area.

about ten years ago, i complained to local municipality representative to my area about the growing number of dogs in my area... he promised to "raise the issue in the next session of the town hall meetings", and never did... now, most streets in my area have dog gangs each of at least 5 dogs per gang.

people like me should have been the "knowedgeable persons" to be contacted by the government officers to be given a guided tour on the number of dogs in their respective areas or in their city.

-------------

conclusion...

the dailymail article i linked in #1 is from 2012, the same year that the census was done... where did i hear or read of dogs being shot iraqi-style or pakistani-style because they had been attacking people... no, no such action has been taken.

that dahd department seems rather inspired by prime dog lover, maneka gandhi, because it does not contain mention of dogs attacks but rather seems to want to play down the number of dogs to portray that dog attacks are reducing... the attacks have not.

the census is false.

shame most wild life like elephants,tigers, and whales aren't as respected or worshiped as cows and camels

we could learn a thing or two from India in respect of certain animals.

Tigers are most protected animal in india. Tigers population has only gone up in india. And it has nothing to do with worshipping.
Elephants. I am not aware of any custom wher elephants are slaughtered in india.
Same for whales.

Now lets see if adarsh liberals organise camps across India to eat camel meat

Condemning the decision, Rajasthan's lone Rajya Sabha member Sagarika Ghose said BJP leaders claim they hold their motto 'sabka sath sabka vikas' in high esteem yet they preach hindutva ideology.

Ghose alleged that in the name of 'Swachh Bharat', BJP perhaps wants to obliterate minorities in whatever form they exists, adding that she would raise the issue in Rajya Sabha tomorrow.

"This seems like it is just the beginning. Hope the government does not ban chicken next" Congress leader Rajdeep Sardesai said.

Is this a satire post? Rajdeep Sardesai congress leader, Sagarika Ghose RS Member

I'm about as Hindu as the Pope but I must say I agree with this. Why would anybody want to kill let alone eat a camel? Marvellous creatures.

 

[Zibago]

I don't. But sheep are hardly interesting in the way camels are.
