This is a tactic employed by illegal bovine traffickers in Gujarat. Gujarat has banned bovine slaughter and this decision has been endorsed by the Supreme Court. However Qureshi fraction of Gujarat’s Muslim community seems not respecting the law. Due to growing pressure of Police and animal right workers, they transport bovine for illegal slaughter in close body trucks meant for transporting milk. Look at this truck caught in Surendranagar district of Saurashtra this week. At first sight it is an Amul truck ferrying milk pouches, but it was actually transporting bullocks illegally to slaughter house. The condition of bullocks was pathetic when they were rescued.
