 Slaughter
House?
Our culture teaches us to leave first Roti for a cow and
last for a dog. Such a wonderful culture we have.

One has to understand a basic difference. flesh comes

from cruelty and milk comes because love and care(of a
cow towards her calf).

India has always been a country of playgrounds,

farmers, agriculture, and shepherds taking care of their
animals with love; never a country of butchers and
butchery. Bloodbath is foreign to Indian culture.

q Rise of Slaughter in India

T he fir st slaughter-house in India was star ted in 1760, with a capacity

to kill 30,000 per day, at least 1 cr or e cows wer e eliminated in an

year s time. In 1740 in the one District of Tamil Nadu, 54 quintals of

rice was har vested fr om one acr e of land using simple manur e and

pesticides like cow urine and cow dung.

q Accor ding to the inter view done by daily news paper “Guar dian”

befor e independence.

§ To one of the questions Gandhiji answer ed, that the day India attains

Independence, all the slaughter houses in India would be closed.

§ In 1929 Nehr u in a public meeting stated that if he wer e to become the

prime minister of India, the fir st thing he would do is to stop all the

slaughterhouses.

 Rise of Slaughter in India
q By 1910 ,350 slaughterhouses worked . India had to approach
England for industrial manure. Thus industrial manure like urea
and phosphate made way to India. After India attained
independence there was extensive use of industrial manure.

After Independence :–

q T he tr a gedy of the situation is, since 1947 the number

has increased from350 to 36,000 slaughter houses (these

ar e onl y the of ficial number s.)

q Today, the highl y mechanized slaughterhouses Al-kabir

and Devanar of Andhr a Pr adesh and Maharastr a has the

capacity to slaughter 10,000 cows/ buf faloes at a time.

 Strange - But True!!
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.

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.

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 by Govt.?
 Strange - But True!!
Ø Britain has not opened any new slaughterhouse
since 1980, whereas the Indian government is
opening new slaughterhouses and modernizing the
older ones.

Ø 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!

 One of the process followed by
slaughter houses

Cattles are brought in trucks, from far away

distances

For economy, 20-25 buffalos are stacked up in

each truck. They are packed so tightly in the
truck, that they are hurt by each other & by
the time they arrive, they are no more capable
of standing on their own.

Their tails are cut and chilli powder is rubbed

into their eyes toAAKASH

them move into the
They are kept here for four days, hungry and thirsty .Then their legs are
broken and eyes poked, so that a 'certificate' can be obtained about their
uselessness.

The hunger and thirst of four days cause the haemoglobin to move from
blood in to fat.
The meat with higher haemoglobin fetches better prices.

Now these animals are pushed into washing showers. Extremely hot
water (200 degrees) is sprayed on them for 5 mins, to soften their skins,
so they will be easy to remove. The animal faints at this point, but it is
not dead yet.

 Now it is hung upside down with one leg, on a chain-pulley conveyor.
Then half of the neck is slit. This drains the blood, but does not kill the
animal.( After death, the skin swells thick, which sells for a poor price.
But the skin of a live animal is still thin, which has better economic
value.)

On one side the blood is dripping from the neck, and on the other side
a hole is made in stomach, from which air is pumped inside. This
causes the body to swell, making it easier to peel the skin.

After removing the leather, the animal is cut into four pieces: head,
legs, body, and tail. The machines remove bones, and pack small
pieces of meat into cans for shipping.
 Message
Slaughterhouses don't kill animals only; they also murder 'humanity.'
Can we establish nonviolence with this kind of violence?

What kind of economic policy we have that we kill milk-producing

animals to export their blood and meat to other countries, and then
import milk powder and manure from other countries? Need for
change in this 'economic' policy, as in reality it is an 'uneconomical'
policy.

These animals are innocent. Those who have done no crime, why are
they being killed?

Religion means compassion and kindness. Protect the animals that

are being packed in trucks for sending to slaughterhouses. Saving
lives is true religion.
