MEAT EXPORT

 

A Pampered Policy of the Central Government

 

 

 

 

1) Do you know how many animals are slaughtered in this country

everyday for local consumption and for exports? Don't worry if you don't know

the answer - even the Central Government does not know !!!

 

 

 

2) Meat export was a thrust area for Foreign Exchange earning in

1990-91 when we had to mortgage gold to get Foreign Exchange. Today with

Foreign Exchange reserves of over 150 billion US$ the Government still

considers meat export as a thrust area. The phobias are hard to get over you

see !

 

 

 

3) Export earnings of IT sector - more than 1,00,000/- crores,

of Textile Sector - more than 30,000/- crores, of Gems and Jewellery - more

than 50,000/- crores - still our Government cherishes 2000 crores smeared in

blood and flesh of innocent animals !

 

 

 

4) Export of meat is eligible for 13 types of subsidies running

into hundred of crores of rupees. Can any of the above sectors earning clean

and manifold more Foreign Exchange compete in the matter of subsidies with the

meat sector ? This is what pampering is !

 

 

 

5) What is a crime in one particular State under its Animal

Preservation Law is perfectly legal in some other State, in respect of

slaughter of the same animal. This magic is possible only in respect of meat

export policy !

 

 

 

6) Article 48 of the Constitution of India speaks of

prohibiting the slaughter in clear cut terms, whereas the meat export policy

involves slaughter of lakhs of young and healthy animals. We speak of rampant

lawlessness in the country. However, where is a role model ? Even our

Government shies away from being a role model !

 

 

 

7) The Constitution imposes fundamental duties to show

compassion towards all living creatures. Duties ? - who cares ? !
