52 kg plastic waste, syringes, coins found in cow's stomach


Chennai, Oct 22 (IANS): Doctors at the Madras Veterinary Hospital here removed 52 kg plastic waste, syringe needles, nails, aluminium foil used for packing food and coins from the stomach of a six-year-old cow, said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Palaniswami.

Appreciating the doctors who operated upon the cow and removed the waste, Palaniswami said the cow was brought to the hospital by its owner Munirathnam as it did not eat properly and had difficulty in passing dung and urine.

While examining the cow, the doctors found plastic waste inside her stomach and decided to remove it by an operation.

Palaniswami said the cow is now fine and eating well.

He said the use of plastic is not only environment unfriendly but also dangerous to animals.

    Hindutva poster boy Vinayak Damodar Savarkar opposed vegetarianism and caste system and ridiculed cow-worship, wondering why Hindus did not form committees to protect pigs

    “If Hindu puranas have talked about a cow, they also have talked about pigs in the form of (Lord Vishnu’s) Varah Avtaar. Then why not set up pig-protection groups on the lines of Gau Rakshaks,” Hindutva ideologue Savarkar asked in one of his essays. He also ridiculed the idea of 33 crore gods living in a cow.’

    The passage referred above figures in an opinion piece written by Loksatta Editor Girish Kuber in Monday’s edition of The Indian Express.

    Savarkar, he writes, ‘bluntly wrote how “India is 200 years behind Europe” and has to give up its religious discourse if it wants to catch up with the modern world.’

    While cow ingests 52 kg plastic waste, syringes, on the other hand BJP's 'Pink revolution' ingesting $5 Billion 'Modi Beef' to the entire world making India no one beef exporter.

    It is at least this time RSS political wing BJP should take the advice of Sarkar before they award him with Bharat Ratna.

    It's the same story throughout India. That is why BJP is advising not to eat Gau Matha's beef. BJP should also stop slaughtering and exporting this unhygienic beef of Gau Matha.
