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.
Statutory Acts & Rules

Constitution read as under :-"48. Organization of agriculture and

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.

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

or not, to which the public is granted access or over which they have right to

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

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.
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.
Commission toured whole nation including Karnataka and submitted recommendations.
Our own Holy Sri Sri Sri Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji also
contributed to this Nationwide problem, as Honorable Member of this Commission.
We are enclosing
herewith copy of recommendation for your kind consideration and implementation
.

Illegal Transportation & slaughter of Cow and its

Karnataka is blessed with world fame breeds of Cow like Amruthmhal, Harlikar,
Malnad Gidda, Devani, etc. As per Live Stock Sample Survey Report of Govt of
Karnataka for the year 05-06 our State has 95.96 Lacs Cattle & 40.24 Lacs
Buffalo. 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.
Scenario: The heinous
crime starts from Government lands
at 110 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.

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

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.
Honorable Madam,
