Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 We have a six month old bull called Labanga, who is mild mannered, well behaving and docile. Since we have 9 cows we are looking to donate him to some one who will guarantee that he will not be slaughtered and will be taken care of. As we know the bull stands for Dharma and if we take care of a bull, we take care of Dharma. Please contact me, if you are interested. Sankar Sastri, Manager Lakshmi Cow Sanctuary Inc. 1515.
