cow slaughter subsidy

[Guest guest]

How does this look for their preaching: Our community survives because we

receive an indirect subsidy from the cow slaughter industry.

 

 

Another form of basing our

economy on indirect subsidy from the cow slaughter industry is the current

proposal of

the management of New Gokula: to purchase milking cows without their

offspring, for

the purpose of selling their milk. No more breeding. This way the

responsibility to care

for their offspring is side-stepped, because the offspring have been

slaughtered. We are

thus supporting both the slaughter of young calves, probably through the

deplorable

veal industry, and cruelty to Mother cow, who suffers pangs of separation

from her

calf. Yet they are passing this off as compassion on the cow to save her

from slaughter,

while at the same time making good profit. But they do not want the calf.

Nor do they

want to listen to me. Nor those in the community who oppose it. The only

people they

value is those who have some position. The only possibility I have of

getting anywhere

is if someone like Hare Krsna prabhu, or any sannyasi, GBC, TP, etc. would

make a

firm stand and condemn it for what it is. Other devotees, also, to add

pressure. Any

contribution is valued. What sort of compassion is it on mother cow to only

save her

from slaughter if her calf is killed first? Those of you who are parents,

put yourself in

mother cows position. The protective feelings you have for your children are

at least as

strong in the cow species, who never consider abortion, nor do they ever

mistreat or

abuse their calves. From morning to night they are watching them with

pleasure and

concern. Some cows never get over the trauma of having their calves taken

away. We

had one cow, Rani, who we bought from the karmi's after she had her first

calf, which

of course had been slaughtered. After that whenever she had a calf and

anyone went

near it she would panic and chase the person away. She didn't forget. So we

shouldn't

think that because they can't speak they don't have feelings. For them the

calf is

everything, and it is not my speculation, but it is very clear upon

observing them,ys,

niscala

Dear Niscala prabhu,

 

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

I just received corresspondence from Ramai Swami. He said that this proposal

will not be enacted.
