Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Such a law has been passed because there is public support for cow slaughter ban. Such public support has been mobilized by Hindutva forces. Outside ISKCON, there are many goshalas aimed at cow protection and also political activism against cow slaughter. What ISKCON needs to do is to give up cult mentality and work together with like minded people on preventing cruelty to cows. It would be a good idea to involve oganizations like PETA in a campaign of this kind.

It says: "The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the 1994 Gujarat government order banning slaughter of bulls and bullocks over the age of 16 years." this means they can slaughter cows of any age and bulls and bullocks below 16 years unless they have some other rules in this regard. also, who is going to verify the age? devotees should not be satisfied with such rules. we should pray for a complete ban on cow killing, or more specifically cow torture, because if the ban is only on cow killing then the demons can find a way to get around with it---- make the cows suffer so that they die "on their own". ideally the law should be written / approved by a cow worshipper who is a devotee of Lord Krishna.
