STATEMENTS OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Act 35 of 1964.—The laws regulating preservation of animals in force in the State of Mysore are, the Mysore Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1948, in force in the Mysore Area, and the Bombay Animal Preservation Act, 1954, in force in the Bombay Area. Under section 2 of the Mysore Act, “cow” is defined to include bull, bullock, buffalo, and calf, and section 3 of the Act imposes a ban on the slaughter of cows except when certified by a qualified veterinarian to be affected with rabis.

decisions. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary), Part IV-2A dated 20th November 1963 as No. 144 at page. 9.)   [KARNATAKA] ACT No. 35 OF 1964

                       NOTE ON CONSTITUTION OF KARNATAKA STATE GOSEVA AYOG / BOARD

Silent features of Karnataka   Karnataka is blessed with 1,91791 Sq.KMS,30Districts,176 Taluks, 747Hoblies. 5628 Grama panchayats 29406 No. of Villages 270Towns 4786Wards 52850562 Total Population (2001 Census) Rural 34889033 Urban 17961529 Projected Population (2010) 61523600 Deicidal Growth Rate (1991-2001) (17%) Percentage of Literacy Male 76.10(2001 Census) Female 56.90 Schedule Caste Population (2001 Census) 8563930Schedule Tribe Population (2001 Census) 3463986 Cultivators (2001 Census) 6883856 Agricultural Labours (2001 Census) 6226942 Non-workers (2001 Census) 29315771
Livestock Population (2007Census Provisional) 32865165 Rural Livestock population (2007 Census) 31251825 Urban Livestock Population (2007 Census) 1613340 No. of Cattle 10,502,520 No. of Buffaloes 4,326,980 Such rich source of economic development rural economic growth, women empowerment, youth employment, organic cultivation, electric, water, fuel and energy is depleting in a disastrous way as feeding material to slaughterhouses of not only Karnataka but to nearby States of Andhra, Maharastra, Goa, Tamil nadu and particularly to Kerala.
Illegal Transportation & slaughter of Cow and its progeny : There shall be 25-30% natural increase in this number every year but record shows decline every year. There is downfall of 15 lac cow & Buffalo in last decade apart from app 35-40 lac speechless animals which would had been added to our live stock every year.
The heinous crime starts from Government lands at 140+ APMC Yards every day and on the strength of Health Certificates issued by Animal Husbandry Dept, travels under the nose of R.T.O, Police, APMC officials and Check posts. Poor speechless animals are transported from one corner of State to other corner & crosses inter state borders, most cruelly & mercilessly slaughtered without observing any hygiene, Law, Act & Rules. Sale of carcass can be seen with out any certification, violating Municipal Rules & Regulations. 
This heinous criminal activity estimated to app. RS.25 billions / year. This animal & carcass trade is going on, unchecked, providing contaminated meat to consumer, putting heavy without contribution but a burden on exchequer.
It is resulting in to depletion of live stock, high unaffordable price of Milk & milk products, penetration of milk made from Urea & detergent playing with the health of our next generation, non availability of organic compost, apart from hurting public sentiment  of compassion towards speechless animals.

Prevention of Cruelty Act of 1960) was enacted to prevent cruelty to animals and its Rules regulates Transportation of Animals, Slaughterhouses, Establishment of Societies for Providing Compassion to Animals (SPCA) etc.
Transport of Cattle Rules 1965/1978/2001 & Sec 96(Rule).
RULE 74 of Karnataka Motor Rules, 1989 . has stipulated special permits, Speed regulation, Special body Fodder, Water, medicine arrangements apart from 2 Sq. Mtr space for each animal this provision restricts the loading of 4 to 5 animals in each truck. BUT more than 10 thousand Trucks are reported crossing inter state Boarders every month carrying more than 15-25 animals a visible crime un booked.
Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter & Preservation of Cattle Act was enacted in 1964 providing complete security to Cow Calf & She Buffalo and He Cow & He Buffalo below 12 years.
Karnataka Prevention of Animal Sacrifice Act, 1959 Sec.2 Sacrifice  means the killing or maiming of any animal for the purpose of any religious worship or adoration.

Karnataka Agro Produce Marketing (APMC) Act has classified these animals under Schedule A ensuring legal transaction
Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules and union Motor Vehicle Act have restricted transportation of these animals and apart from different provisions each animal has to be provided 2 Sq. Meter space i e. loading of more than 4 Cattle in a vehicle is illegal.
Karnataka Municipality Act Sec.87,91, 226,228. 232,242,243,244, 246, 251, 256,257,324 deals with Animals, slaughterhouse, illegal slaughter places. Health & hygiene. 
Honorable Indian Legislature did their job by enacting Act & Rules on prohibition on Slaughter, restriction on transportation, Prevention on Sacrifice and Supreme Court of India in its famous Judgment in Ashutosh Lahri V/S W. Bengal & others even in upheld No cow sacrifice on Bakar id day and directed the Governments to stop this heinous, most cruel crime 
Constitution Bench consisting of 7 Honorable Judges of Honorable Supreme Court of India lead by Chief Justice RC Lahoti  in its  ORDER ON COW SLAUGHTER CASE NO.: Appeal (civil)4937-4940 of 1998  Dated 26/10/2005 discussed the Scenario at length and after addressing  all relevant issues and objections, up held the complete ban on slaughter of Cow & its progeny
In spite of presence of such stringent Union & State statutory provisions, heart of animal lover and go sevak weeps every day. As a matter of fact, Karnataka has become supplier state to neighboring Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. Illegal slaughter of these speechless animals is  going on in rampant way.  Thousands of  slaughter houses are functioning illegally with out any statutory control. Civic bodies have also provided Slaughter houses BUT with out any physical control and no Pre mortem or post mortem is even seen.
These slaughter places are functioning in heart of cities creating high health hazard. Even the revenue generated in terms of Auction money is not sufficient to afford a part time sweeper. Hence, Tax payers money is being spent by civic bodies half compassion to speechless animals. Though Constitution of India Article 25 provides freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion (subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion) but clarifies that Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or prevent the State from making any law.
Different religions were propagating and parasitizing their traditional rituals like early marriage, immolation of widow with deceased husband (SatiPratha) sacrifice on different festivals. But, different Acts were enacted to prohibit these rituals in public interest. Sharda Act prohibited early marriage and there is absolute ban on even glorifying Sati as an old tradition of road side sacrifice. Very recently Honorable Chief Justice Karnataka High Court has issued Directions which are to complied with irrespective of Cast & creed.
We have identified following State Departments concerned & connected with Prevention & preservation and connected activities of GOVANSH in the State;
1. Animal Husbandry & Vet. Services,
2. Home
3. Urban Development–Muni. Admn.
4. Rural Development & Panchayat Raj
5. Finance Revenue ,
6. Disaster management
7. Agro Prod.Marketing
8. Law & Justice
9. Forest,
10.Transport
11.  Agriculture,
12.  Dairy Development,
13.  SS &CottageIndustry
14.  Primary&Higher Educn
15.  Energy  etc.
Requirement & Suggestion on different State Departments
1.    Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services described as Competent authority under Prevention of Cow Slaughter & Preservation of Cattle Act, 1964 is seen totally neglecting the implementation of above Act. There is no single infirmary established in whole State. In spite of repeated reminders SPCA has not even being constituted in many Districts. Karnataka State Animal Welfare Board has met 3-4 times since its inception in last 6-7 years. Your wonderful planned Scheme “Swrana Karnataka Gauthali Yojna ” has been reported misused  in many places out of 18 granted institutions.
2.    Home:  The implementation of all Acts & Rules normally falls on Police solders. There are number of  Acts and Rules including IPC 429  to be implemented in letter and spirit. Though Karnataka Police is one of the best team in our country still negligence can be seen in whole State. Visible crime every day are left un booked in one pretext or other. Investigation in booked Crime are not seen in concluding manner.
3.    Urban Development - Municipal Administration: Civic administration responsible for stray Cattle, slaughter, Sale of carcass owns big responsibility. Karnataka Municipality Act has defined all activities. But, gross violation can be seen in all civic bodies. Directions from Honorable Supreme Court of India in LN Modi V/s Govt. of India & ors may attract contempt proceedings one day. There is no ante mortem post martem system seen in any of Slaughter house. Mafia are holding the control and even Government officials are afraid of entering in the area. Cattle pounds or  Infirmaries are statutory requirements which are not in existence.
4.    Rural Development & Panchayat Raj  :  Cow and its progeny , the backbone of rural economy has been destabilized because of greed of money and vested interest.  App.20 million Govansh generates 80 million M.T of Cow dung & 20 million kilo ltr of Gaumutra. Bull power availability  can be fairly estimated at 200 million Horsepower. 30,000+ village of State are crying for rural employment, Water, Electricity Fertilizer etc. State is consuming thousand crore worth of Phenyl. RDPR Department shall be instrumental in development and implementation of Schemes for proper utilization.  
5.    Finance & Revenue : State exchequer is bearing huge loss due to non taxation on Animal Trade & Slaughter houses. Animal transportation, Trade &Slaughter activities shall be dealt  as commercial
and industrial activities. Normal 12.5% VAT shall bring at least RS 1,000 Crore / Year but it is draining huge amount on different heads. The auction amount received by Civic bodies is not even sufficient to post part time sweeper in a slaughter house
6.    Disaster management : Speechless animals are prime victim of any disaster whether draught or flood or fodder shortage or earth quake. State receives huge amount and also spends billions of Rupees but definite animal related schemes are not at all seen. Even Fodder transportation subsidy announced many times in the State has not been released. In case of States like Rajasthan Goshala are getting RS.20/- per day per Cattle. Most of the amount is coming out of Disaster Relief Funds.
7.    Agro Produce Marketing: The animal related crime generates from Government Land of 110+ APMC Yards in the State every week. Cattle is item under Schedule A needs Trading License and other regulations. But, implementation is not seen apart from co ordination between other departments. As per fair estimate it is incurring a revenue loss of few Crores   in this account. Presence of APMC Check post can be seen in whole State but totally indifferent on the subject.
8.    Transport :  Presence of RTO can be seen every where including on interstate borders. Motor Vehicle Rules and Motor Vehicle Act has imposed stringent penalties, confiscation and imprisonment of violation. BUT, the visible Crime is going un noticed under the nose of Transport Department
9.    Law & Justice: All connected laws were enacted at least 40-50 years earlier. Price Index has gone up many fold in this time but Penalties and Fines are unchanged. It is   helping  offenders. Animal related cases are not cared by prosecution  resulting into release of Cattle to offenders in violation of Honorable Supreme Court Directions. Executive Departments are not provided with the relevant legal information.     
10.  Forest  :  Most of transport routes crosses Forest area Hand Posts. Animal carcass, effluent are highly hazardous for wild life. Illegal transporters are big enemies and to be tackled with iron hands by forest authorities in co ordination with other Departments 
11.  Agriculture :  Animal Welfare, Fodder, Fertilizer, Seeds Subsidies etc many issues comes under Agriculture Department preview. Proper schemes has to be chalked out and implemented for best use of Bull power, Milch  animal, Bio Compost production, Fodder cultivation etc.
12.  Dairy Development : Cow and its progeny is known as Dairy development tool also. Breed improvement, Milk procurement, milk product marketing like many issues directly related with Cattle preservation and Safety. 
13.  Small Scale & Cottage Industries: There are scores of cottage & medium Scale industries based on Cow dung and Cow Urine. It can be a big rural employment generation. Industries Department and connected Corporations shall develop, propagate, motivate, different schemes
14.  Primary & Higher  Education: Compassion, Health & Hygiene, Legal, economy, Husbandry , Veterinary   etc many subjects needs attention of Primary & Higher Education Departments. Gains of Animal Safety & Loss of Cruelty & Killing shall be incorporated in Syllabus. Seperete Chairs shall be established in different  Universities on related subjects.
15.  Energy : Bull Power& Bio Gas are large untapped source of non conventional Energy. Proper Production & utilization will certainly reduce Burdon on Energy Department. Like incentives on Solar energy,  schemes shall be chalked out on use of Bull Power & Electricity Generation. Apart from Implementation of Union government Ministry of Non Conventional Energy.
Government of India under the directions of then Prime M inister Sri Atal Bihari Ji Vajapayi Ji & DY. Prime Minister Sri Lal Krishan Advani ji constituted National commission on Cattle under the leadership of Chief Justice(Retd) Sri Guman Mal Ji Lodha.

Undersigned was in dialog with Principle Secretary RDPR on Drinking water supply project with use of Bull Power. Following are few details for your kind consideration which, I am sure that, will be extending the scope , reducing the cost & helpful in employment generation

Drinking water requirement for a village with 1000 population is estimated at app. 40,000 ltrs. To meet this requirement, a bore well with 8 hp capacity required apart from overhead tank & supply pipe line. Overhead tank & supply pipe line exp. Are one time cost but bore well running is recurring and will consume at least 65 power units   @ RS. 4.5 or say app. 300/- per day.

Each village has hundreds of Bullocks and we need two bullocks to run 5/8 HP bore well. The cost of Bullock driven Bore well is below RS. 50,000/-. This will not only run Bore well but even can be used for power generation, fodder cutting, Flour mill, spice mill running also.

There are 120 Gaushalas (Animal shelters) spread in each and every District of Karnataka where required Bull power is available. On behalf of Karnataka Goshala Mahasangh ®,  I can assure you of whole hearted co operation from these Animal Welfare organizations

Cost per Unit:
Equipment: Bullock Driven Energy Drive                                                              RS. 42,000-00

There are plenty to manufacturing activities basing bull power, Milk, cow dung & urine. Not only water suction and supply but if utilized BULL POWER will be instrumental in providing employment apart from a source of electricity, captive prime mover for Fodder Cutting Machine, Flour & Spice mill etc. 

If implemented, it will provide employment to at least 3,00,000 families which can be covered under different State & SGSY scheme of Government of India. Apart from these benefits, it will be detrimental in saving millions of speechless animals.
