1. I do not get what your rant is about. We are a democracy with 1 vote each. If 700 million Hindus vote to ban beef then that becomes the rule. If you do not like democracy, then find another country.
Gobbledegook!!
When did 700 million hindus vote for ban on beef??
BJP came to power because the minorities had also voted for 'em or else a landslide victory wasn't possible.
2. Why? Are cows born in sheds? Cows have naturally roamed the landscape and that is how they are meant to be. Not going to office and sitting in an AC room. Hit by cars is considered an accident. Happens to humans too. There are fines and jail terms for it. They govt already provides almost interest free loans to all farmers and now with Jan Dhan Yojana even non farmers have access to overdrafts of 5000 anytime.
If things were so easy for farmers then why do so many farmers commit suicide?
Keeping an old cow can cost as much as Rs.6000 more for a farmer.
And has the govt paid any compensation for the unseasonal rains that destroyed farmers crops three months ago in Maharashtra??
These farmers 're struggling to feed their family members, how can we feed old bulls and cows??
3. I am not forcing them to eat anything. I am forcing them to not eat beef. Both are not equal. They are rather opposite if you had the intelligence to grasp it. This is not shoving down anyone's throat, rather stopping people from shoving in their throat an extremely useful animal.
But why?? Why should you force your dietary habits on them??
Ban on beef would send the prices of other meat northwards. So how does the govt plan to curb that trend?
4. The high court rejected the petition calling for a halt of beef ban. This is how the dice is going to role now on.
Proof?
And btw there's a lack of uniformity among State laws governing cattle slaughter. Assam, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal permit the slaughter of cows of over a certain age. Though slaughter of calves 're banned, which is fine. I think I would support this policy over a complete ban.
Btw if there's a nationwide ban on the slaughter of cow and its progeny then for selfish reasons cows and calves would be maimed by the their owners, so that they could be declared useless. This way instead of protecting the cow, you're hurting it more. Smuggling of beef would add to govt.'s woes. And then like the ban on liquor was lifted same way the ban on beef will be revoked.
Trivia: Once the cow is dead, let people make use of its body parts, even make a cricket ball out of its leather. Hindus do not mind donating their own organs and eyes and stuff like that once they are dead.
Whoever told you that these balls were made from the leather of old cows which died natural death.
