Guest guest Posted November 16, 1999 Report Share Posted November 16, 1999 Hare Krsna, Please accept my most humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. I hope you won't mind my questioning, but in all situations which are coming up on the internet it seems that there are various versions of the truth. Would you be so kind as to let the devotees know, who are receiving the information below, how it came to be known that the cows were murdered? It is a pretty strong statement to come out and say, "We now know that 14 cows were sent to the slaughterhouse, and we have legal documents in hand of the actual sale." but not present much details of the evidence of how this came to become known as the true fact of the situation. I sincerely hope that you don't mind my inquiry, I am just not sure if it's fair to simply make a public statement that something so henious has been done, something so contrary to our concepts of devotional life, without any presentation of how the conclusions have come about. Who are the devotees involved who have the paperwork? I'm sure that there is a lot more going more than I am aware of, so forgive me if my inquiry seems naive.
