As far as I know there had been a ban on slaughter of younger animals and

this extended it to old animals as well, i.e. complete ban.

The ban is a total ban on alaughter of bulls and cow of all agesin Gujurat

I tried to get the link in Indian Express of an article but could not get

it. It is in Indian express Oct 28th front page.

 

Our friend and lawyer for our Trust RK Joshi prepared the case and won it

now in the Supreme Court. I will ask him for material for cow conf. It is

very encouraging as it prepares the way easily for other states to follow

who want to enact this law., Of course corruption is everywhere and the

law is broken . Now in Maharastra a govt board is formed to see that

animal rights laws are followed and our lawyer is a member of this board

and it means they will get the cooperation of the police to stop illegal

slaughter.

 

The 6 to 1 majority judgement in the Supreme Court ruled that cow and its

progeny constitute the backbone of Indian agriculture and economy and

banning slaughter is in the public interest. It overruled previous verdict

allowing slaughter of old bulls saying that that change in socio economic

needs justify that bulls and bullocks live their full life.

 

People do realise that there is a serious shortage of cow dung because of

greatly reduced number of cattle in India. due to slaughter This is a

great blow against the butchers in the battle to protect the cow. If only

Iskcon could protect cows and bulls. Of course there are some shining

examples. but many temple goshallas are exploiting just like commercial

dairies disposing of bulls and bull calves or half starving them ( no

naming at present) ys Labangalatika dasi
