Cow Protection

[Guest guest]

Dear Rasananda Swami,

 

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

 

Thank you very much for your communication. Although you have only 1 cow as

of now it is very good that you do not wish to be neglectful of her. There

is South America we have very little communication and we know very little

about how the cows are being cared for.

 

To begin, we are sending you the Minimum Cow Protection Standards. This

explains the dos and donts of cow care. You most likely will have questions

that will arise so feel free to contact us. We will try to answer them to

the best of our ability. Also, we are sending the Cow Report Form. If you

could please fulfill this report and send it back to us E-mail. We have

revised it and it should be easy to fill out. Quarterly reports are due each

year and we will send reminders before they are due. The following ones

should be easy and each one can be filled out by referring to the previous

one.

 

Once again, it is very encouraging that yourself, as one of the leaders of

our society, understands how important it is that the cow be taken care of

nicely.

 

Your servant,

Balabhadra das

ISKCON Minister for Cow Protection and Agriculture

Rasananda Maharaj,

Hare Krsna, AGTSP,

 

What is the situation at this farm?

I read something about it being abandoned ?

Is there a need for someone to look over this project or is there need for

help? is this a done deal as for abondoning?

I am interested to what the situation is for this farm.

Any devotees living here?

If needed, I can suggest some things about the cow if you want to ask

specific questions. Of course I will need to know the circumstances of the

particular questions.

Govinda!

Your servant, Derek- main cow herd, GN- usa.

Thank you for you concern.

Yes, the farm is little abandoned at the moment. I was invited by the local

GBC to develop the preaching in South Brazil. I cannot tell exactly what is

the situation at the present moment. We are in holidays in Brazil due to the

carnival. Next week I will get in touch with some lawyers to discuss the

legal situation of the farm. If I have a good answer from them I will work

for the improvement of the place.

At the moment I have no questions regarding cow protection.

My best wishes, ys rs
