"It is illegal to kill cows and calves in Maharashtra. It is also illegal to kill any cattle that can be used for agriculture or breeding. We, as a society, have turned our backs to cruelty against cows and bullocks for so long, that on a daily basis trucks are being brought illegally forslaughter and people just seem to turn a blind eye. Until we don't stop turning a blind eye these animals will continue to suffer,'' said Chetan Sharma of People for Animals.
