Illegal Cow and Cattle transportation from Malvale-Mutanga (Karnataka-Kerala) & other Gundlupet Borders -A Report for immediate consideration and action

Sale, Purchase & Transportation of Cattle is restricted in whole country and particularly in State of Karnataka  Certainly in violation of State & Union Acts & Rules. Cattle is a included in Schedule A of Karnataka Agro Produce Marketing Act and only Registered Dealers can transect and to pay a Fee on each transaction and on each Cattle.They have to submit the details of Purchase and Sale and purpose. APMC Check posts are in existence in whole State

Transport of Cattle in a vehicle is restricted by Indian motor Vehicle Act & Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules and also provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act   

Apart from number of stipulation and instructions a Cattle has to be provided with 2 Sq. Mtr space in carrying vehicle apart from stringent Rules. Normally, a 6 Wheeler Truck plate form size is 6 feet X 14 feet i.e 1.8 Mtr X 4.25 Mtr and it restricts Cattle number to not more than 4.

We can see RTO Inspectors and their Check posts at all borders and at many places.

All Inter State borders and particularly to Kerala crosses thick Forest and Forest Hand posts where even Regional Forest Officers are posted to observe Forest Act and Wild Life Protection Act, 1972. No vehicle can be allowed carrying any item including animal, Dung, Urine, Carcass etc which will adversely effect Ecology, Forest and Wild lives.

Animal Husbandry & Vet. Services officials are named as Competent Authority in Karnataka Prevention of Cow slaughter & Preservation of Cattle Act, 1964 and shall work for Cow Safety BUT found issuing Health Certificates to Vehicles in violation of all above Act & Rules

Police presence can be felt at all places BUT not in the cases of illegal Cattle transportation and registering of Suo Motto Cases in IPC 429, IPC 295, Karnataka Motor Vehicle Rules Section 92, Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act, 1960 Section 11 etc. Code 43 of CRPC provides shelter to all and also allow to work as PUBLIC SERVANT.

A real latest example will explain all above which undersigned witnessed, as under:

  On 13th April,2013, As Member to Karnataka State Goseva Ayog, I was called by some persons that their institution Gau gyan Foundation  is working for Cattle safety and they were reporting the matter to Gudlupet police about rampant illegal Cattle transportation and as no action was taken even after there lodging FIR 99/2013 on 2nd March,2013 SO they again visited Madur-Malvale Check post (entry point to Wynad District of Kerala) on 13th April morning and stopped 4 Trucks carrying 25-27 Cattle each.

These Trucks were stopped with the help of Forest persons at Malvale and with great hope of their help and support BUT to their surprise, Truck Drivers and persons, may be 14-15 in number, came out and attacked. Animal Activists were injured BUT RFO watching incident did not come out. 3 out of 4 Trucks whisked away back to Gundulpet side.   

Some persons - may be kingpin- came from Gundulpet in a vehicle and followed Activists even to Police Station. 

The Activists brought the matter to the Notice of Gundulpet Police Station where FIR No.159/2013 was booked 

I was called and informed about incident at around 2 PM when Police was compelling them to take back the complaint against culprits etc. I spoke to Superintendent of police Chamarajanagar Mr. Rajinderprasad to intervene and book the complaint and also to provide security to Animal Activists and book the accused.

When I spoke to Duty officer Mr. Naik SI G.Pet PS, he informed that some Mr. Innayat is showing animal Health Certificate issued by Asst. director AH&VS G.Pet as authorization. It was a shock and I told him that Certificate is illegal and in contravention of Act & Rule.

He also told that huge number of persons are assembled outside PS and will not allow complainants to go out unless they modify the complaint. I feel, after my intervention, counter complaint number 160/2013 &161/2013 were booked against Animal activists and they were allowed to go out.

  On 16.4 I fixed the meeting with Dy. commissioner Ms. MV Savitri IAS and visited DC office. She was out of office with election observers BUT arranged a meeting with DY. Director Animal Husbandry & Vet. Services Dr. Sunder Raj. I explained and inquired about issuance of Animal Health Certificates. He pleaded ignorant than I asked him to company me or provide some senior officer so that we can inquire in depth. Asst. Director HQ Dr. Prasanna Kumar was directed to company me. I was told that these Certificates are issued in Duplicate and original is to be given to Kerala RP Check post and we can find Certificates and Records at Mutanga RP Check post. police Escort was obtained and Matunga RP Check post was visited and after deliberate resistance and intervention of Wynad Dist. Animal husbandry Officer-Jt.Director Dr. Harsh Kumar, we were allowed to go through records and to take photos of few. 

The visit was astonishing and reveled that:

1. Regular uninterrupted Cattle transportation is in progress.
2. Every day 15-20 Trucks carrying 20-25-30 cow and Cattle are officially crossing Maddur-Malvale Check posts
3. Animal Health Certificates issued by Gundulpet Asst. director AH&VS Dr. Natraj were mainly seen.
4. Presence of Check posts of RTO,commercial Tax, Forest and Police were seen
5. Another route from Gundulpet- Bandipur-Gudlur is reported more live in illegal cattle transportation and also Mysore-HD Kote-Bavli-Manandvadi Route in this belt.
6. Public report says that Cattle Godowns are in existence in Gundulpet and some are behind Madina Ground. Cattle are loaded as per availability of connived Forest, Police and other officials.

7.      Public report is that huge bribe is distributed to concerned officials for uninterrupted transportation.

·         If we fairly estimate at least 15 Trucks Crossing Malvale - Muthanga Route   carrying 20 cattle or say 500 Trucks/month with 10,000 Cattle-herds/ month. 

·        Same quantity is estimated going from Bandipore-Gudlur route.      

·        Above number of App. 2,40,000 increases when we add Cattle transportation on Foot and also vehicular transportation from other Forest routes and Fair estimate stands at 5,00,000  Cattle are illegally sent to Slaughter to Kerala slaughterhouses every year.

·        5,00,000 Cattle/year fetches a profit of not less than RS.5 Billion/year to illegal transporters without any levy, Income Tax or any other revenue and in turn involves in anti national activities, 

·        This fact i.e number of Cattle can be partly ascertained by visiting Kerala RP Check posts or by requesting DAHO office of Kerala border Districts.  

Further in spite of warning to asst. director AH&VS Dr. Natraj by Dy. Director AH&VS still illegal Certificates are reported in issuance and In spite of directions by IGP (Southern Range) Dr. Ramachandrarao IPS, no arrest is effected in FIR 99/2013 & 159/2013 PS Gundulpet. 

I have brought the matter to the notice of  Ms. MV Savitiri IAS Dy. commissioner Chamarajanagar for action and convening of meeting of Police, AH&VS, RTO, Forest & APMC officials 

The matter was brought to the notice of Mr. Kanthraju IFS Conservator of Forest Bandipore for necessary action   

I again request all concerned law abiding noble officials and attract their immediate attention to seriously look into the matter and stop illegal activities and report the action and achievement to Karnataka State Goseva Ayog.

STOP Cow slaughtering in India -

India is set to emerge as the world's leading beef exporter this year, the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service has forecast. India will ship roughly 1.5 million tonnes of beef in 2012, surpassing current top exporter Australia, according to the USDA report. That is more than double the exports India logged three years ago.

According to the report, global beef production in 2012 will be virtually unchanged from the last forecast of 57 million tonnes. Global exports, however, are expected to increase by 497,000 tonnes to a record 8.7 million tonnes. India is seen accounting for 250,000 tonnes of the incremental exports, with additional export-oriented slaughterhouses expected to come on line this year. Exports account for 44% of beef production in the country. The growth in exports thus underpins production increases.

For all that, Indian beef is not really beef as say the Americans know it — not a patch on Angus. It is water buffalo — and males and unproductive females at that — which exporters sell at lower cost to the meat-hungry, but price-sensitive consumers in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia.

Slaughter of cows and milk-producing buffaloes is banned under Indian laws. But the USDA still counts it all as beef, and economically, it competes in the same markets, the report said. To its credit, deboned frozen buffalo meat, also called carabeef, from India is lean and has positive blending characteristics important to processors. As per the most recent livestock census, conducted in 2007, buffaloes comprise a third of the bovine herd in India.

We are strongly opposing cow slaughtering in India, beef export as well.

It is observed that APEDA might know that animals are being shifted under very heavy stress, pain, injury and sufferings towards slaughter houses violating the Cattle Transport Rules, 1978 amended in 2001 with out pre transport permit as required under section 96 of the said Rules, where as the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Slaughter House) Rules, 2001 also ignored by the Abattoirs registered with APEDA.

Hence you are humbly requested to direct all concerned to obey the above said legal procedures and issue orders, circulars for strict compliance under intimation to the OIPA in India and following information may kindly be supplied:

1. Cow, Oxen and calves slaughtering is illegal along with the slaughtering of milking / breeding buffaloes. Is there any order, circular issued for strict compliance to all concerned, if yes then supply me the copy, if No then why?

2. Beef consumption in domestic and beef / veal export is increasing day by day from India, how many registered Abattoirs are slaughtering Cow, Oxen and calves for beef and veal?

3. Withdraw the proposal of 25 new slaughter houses and up gradation of 25 existing slaughter houses in India.

4. Amend the definition of animal delete cow at once from the Meat Food Products Order, 1973 of the Ministry

of Food Processing Industries

Kindly refer to the Meat Food Products Order, 1973 of the Ministry of Food Processing Industries. Please supply me the following information under RTI Act, 2005:

1. Whether cow can be allowed to slaughter under the Meat Food Products Order, 1973 because cow can be slaughtered as per the definition of animals, please see Hindi version?

2. We demands immediate deletion of cow from the definition of animals because Ministry can’t keep holy cows in the category and at par with Poultry, which hurts our sentiments. Please supply us the copy of corrected legislations.

3. Is there any proposal to set up 25 new slaughter houses and up gradation of 25 existed slaughter houses, if yes then please supply us the complete list of both and what are the reasons behind to set up 25 new, in which area, by whom and which 25 existed are proposed for modernization?

4. Do you know that animals are being badly abused during their transportation towards slaughter houses in goods transport vehicles? If yes then supply us the instruction, guidelines issued by your Ministry to minimize the stress, pain, injury and suffering to the animals.

5. Do you know that animals are being overcrowded during their shifting in goods transport vehicles with out obtaining pre transport permit as required under section 96 of the Cattle Transport Rules, 1978 amended in 2001?, if yes then supply us the copy of directions issued to all concerned for strict compliance of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 along with rules made out as per section 38 of the said legislation’s.

6. Do you know that Slaughter houses are not obeying the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Slaughter House) Rules, 2001? If yes then supply us the inspection reports of all existed slaughter houses.

7. Please supply us the complete list of beef and veal exporters from India, where these animals are being slaughtered?

8. Do you know that your Ministry website insulted State Emblem of India and same can be prosecuted under the law of the land: Because state emblem of India placed with out devnagiri word ‘Satyamev Jayete’.

We demands immediate declaration of cow - oxen be Indian domestic animals, to protect their species.
