Srila Prabhupada

• Foolish people do not know how one earns
  happiness by making the cows and bulls happy, but
  it is a fact by the law of nature. Let us take it
  from the authority of Srimad Bhagavatam and adopt
  the principles for the total happiness of
  humanity. REF. SB 1.17.3

10
Srila Prabhupada

  and (7) the earth. All of them are mothers. SB
  10.5.26

11
Srila Prabhupada

• The bull is the emblem of the moral principle,
  and the cow is the representative of the earth.
  When the bull and the cow are in a joyful mood,
  it is to be understood that the people of the
  world are also in a joyful mood. The reason is
  that the bull helps production of grains in the
  agricultural field, and the cow delivers milk,
  the miracle of aggregate food values.

12
Srila Prabhupada

• As long as human society continues to allow cows
  to be regularly killed in slaughterhouses, there
  cannot be any question of peace and prosperity.

13
Srila Prabhupada

• Those sinful persons who are ignorant of actual
  religious principles, yet consider themselves to
  be completely pious, without compunction commit
  violence against innocent animals who are fully
  trusting in them. In their next lives, such
  sinful persons will be eaten by the same
  creatures they have killed in this world. SB
  11.5.14

14
Srila Prabhupada

  butcher or one who is killing his own self?

  Independence and prevention of Cow Slaughter, I
  would choose the latter, for its protection shall
  open all means to achieve true independence.

Mahatma Gandhi

  the correct chanting of MANTRAS, not by their
  pilgrimages, not by their most punctilious
  observances of caste rules, but their ability to
  protect the cow.320
• My ambition is no less than to see the principle
  of cow protection established throughout the
  world. 324

17
Mahatma Gandhi

• To amass money and dole out charity does not

  preserve cattle, to impart this knowledge to the
  millions, to live up to the ideal oneself, and to
  spend money on this endeavour is real
  business.327

35
Current Scenario

• In a country like Malaysia, 80 per cent of its
  beef imports requirement now in the form of
  buffalo meat purchased from India. Another market
  likely to register a pick-up is Egypt.

36
Current Scenario

• In New Delhi, dairies are responsible for most of
  the 35,000 stray cattle who roam the streets. In
  an attempt to remove them from the city, the
  Municipal Corporation of Delhi is auctioning off
  these cows, but the source of the problem is the
  cruelty infested dairy industry.
• --PETA

37
Current Scenario

• Right now, there are 36,000 slaughterhouses, of
  which 10 are highly automated, where daily
  250,000 animals are hacked.
• Alkabir (Hyderabad) alone is licensed to kill
  600,000 a year, but Deonar (Mumbai) kills 120,000
  cows and 60,000 buffalos. Calcutta located
  slaughterhouse kills 1,200,000 cows and buffalos
  per year.

38
Current Scenario

• This mechanized slaughterhouse is located 15
  miles from Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra
  Pradesh, on 300 acre land.

Current Scenario

• Slaughterhouses don't kill animals only they
  also murder 'humanity.'

43
Current Scenario

• India is the only country in world that provides
  in its Constitution for mercy and care of the
  animals.
• According to its laws, only those animals can be
  slain, which are older than 16 years of age, and
  are useless. However, now meat of young healthy
  buffalos between 4 months and one year is allowed
  for exports.

44
Current Scenario

• Meat of one cow/buffalo is worth Rs. 20,000.
  However, the same animal may produce, in its 18
  years of life span, goods (milk, butter, and
  manure) worth Rs. 300,000. Thus, the country has
  to suffer a loss of Rs. 280,000 for each animal
  slaughtered.
• We get foreign exchange for meat. However, we
  also pay foreign exchange for chemical
  fertilizers, manure, urea, milk powders, etc.
  which cost several times the price of meats. Then
  why export meat?

45
Current Scenario

• The government encourages certain
  businesses-industries with financial supports.
  The government has announced 100 supports for
  opening new slaughterhouses, and the agriculture
  department has already approved several
  slaughterhouses. The Indian meat fetches only 40
  of international prices. Then what is the meaning
  of supporting this industry?

46
Current Scenario

• The government argues that if we don't kill the
  animals, their population will go on increasing.
  However, according to the same statistics, the
  number of animals per capita is rapidly
  decreasing.

47
Current Scenario

• The world trend is towards vegetarianism. The
  developed countries are learning the dangers of
  meat-eating. Britain has not opened any new
  slaughterhouse since 1980, whereas the Indian
  government is opening new slaughterhouses and
  modernizing the older ones.
• According to laws enacted to prevent cruelty to
  animals, it is considered a crime to treat any
  animal with cruelty (beating, over-burdening,
  inflicting pain, etc.). At the same time,
  however, butchering them is permitted! Does this
  make any sense?

48
Current Scenario

• 4 new Slaughter houses in Hyderabad soon at the
  cost of 45.9 Cr! And whos money? (Tax payers
  money)!

49
Solution

Solution

• One who becomes virasana takes the vow to stand
  all night with a sword to give protection to the
  cows. SB 9.2.3
