LOL. Yes, of the 4 in the pasture on my property, Broken Horn loves

tomatoes, and will immediately come over when I am putting the overripe ones

over the fence.

The only thing necesary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Or in our zone.

 

One thing to bear in mind, is that apparent abuse is not always the fault of

the cowherds. I can say very definitely that in New Vrindaban, although

there

is no overt abuse, there is lack of specialized care for weaker animals.

This

is not the fault of the cowherds or there lack of knowledge or interest - it is

purely insufficient funding.

 

So be careful before you go off blaming the cowherds who may already be

stretched emotionally dealing with a bad situation. It is those who simply pay

blood subsidized prices for their milk consumption without giving any support

to

cow protection who need to be prodded.

 

On the other hand, if the cowherds have sufficient resources, and divert them

to other uses, then that does need to be addressed. And that can go right up

to the GBC level if money that could go to minimal cow protection is used for

traveling and construction projects.
