Advocate Ajay Gautam appears in person, submits images of cows being cut into pieces before burial.
He argues they are doing cruelty to these cows. After they are dead, they are cutting them into pieces and then burying them, this is not dignified burial.

Counsel for MCD informs the court that it is a part of "Scientific Process" of burial.
Court: Show us provisions? This is not digestible to us, you cannot cut them into the pieces like this. This is inhumane.

“When I am asked by a concerned citizen about those ‘wretched’ #cows and whatever else, I say, 'well hold on, before you criticise my cows [..]: we are the custodians of the nation’s #carbon. How much carbon do you manage?' And there is a silence" theirishtimesnewstoday.com/what-can-we-le…
“if we were to convert the whole farm into multispecies swards [we] could be net zero today without adjusting stocking density [but while] cattle &sheep production can be beyond carbon neutral, current policy frameworks in Europe only measure what farms emit, not what they store" 
"measurements of tonnes of carbon per hectare on Dowth show that hedges have 50% greater carbon density than woodlands [..] the hedgerows on Dowth are sequestering roughly 665 tonnes a year [..] But at the moment, Irish hedge rows are not in the national inventory"
Who is blaming #cows 🐄 for #carbon?
We should be blaming 🚗 ✈️ 🚤 🛻 🚀 ⚡️ 🏭 and manufacturing--not cows munching grass!
It's illogical and ridiculous!
We had ruminating animals #grazing Earth for millions of years before cars, airplanes and factories!

As "carnivores" it's time to re-educate the vegan 🌱 community about nature!
Plants and grasses "inhale" CO2 and "exhale" oxygen.
Cows help fertilize and create grass!
To think otherwise is a special kind of ignorance about nature, farming and science!

Another Indian human being, a Muslim, killed over a cow by Hindutva extremists.
The cow has had a long, quite variegated history in Hindu traditions in South Asia. Buckle-up for this whirlwind 🧵

Way back in the day, like 3,500 years ago, followers of Brahminical traditions sacrificed cows and ate beef. The Vedas--our earliest Indian texts--are quite clear on this.
Eating beef as part of religious practice continued for some time.
Then, in the first millennium CE, a new idea began to gain traction that not eating beef could be a mark of upper-caste status, especially being Brahmin. It was part of a larger set of prescriptions.

This week, investigators found that German #meat companies sold sausages made from bones.
The #livestock sector is highly secretive, hiding its practices from the public eye. As a result, many people don't know what animal products are made of, including these 8 examples.👇1/11

Many #ChickenNuggets contain very little actual meat.
Instead, they mostly consist of fat and other body parts, including #chicken nerves, bone, skin, and connective tissue. @iltaylorwriter reports. 2/11

According to the Vedas, the 'desi' breed of #cows & #bulls of #India are direct descendants of Kamadhenu - the divine Gaumata - who emerged from the kshirasagar during the Samudra Manthan itself. She is dhenu, the giver of all bounties.
#Bharat
#Bharat
Kamadhenu is known to exist in five different forms: Nanda, Sunanda, Surabhi, Sumana, and Susheela. Her other names are Sabala and Matrika. She is the divine mother of all cows. She is the daughter of Prajapati, mother of all 11 Rudras.
The devas or gods decided to give Kamadhenu to the Saptarishis, for whom the sacred cow supplies milk and ghee essential for vedic yagnas. In time, she came into the ownership of the Rishi Vashista.

(3/…) Buttercup's first steps on grass after being liberated from a dairy farm brightens your weekend.
Many years ago, I stopped eating meat on Mondays, soon the other days of the week followed.
It’s easy, just start this Monday (also: try oatmilk)

Favorite facts about #languages and #cultures in #contact
Favorite facts about #languages and #cultures in #contact
In #Arabic we say: “Footprints indicate trajectory”, but I never thought that a wheel would reveal a culture. This is how #cultures can be traced through #languages. The reading made me feel like I am solving a puzzle more than exploring languages.
1. "Until the cows come home" At one point the herd became quite orderly following this leader along the centre of the road. The queue of cows extended all the way back to that pink gate in the distance. #cows #dairy #farming #Transylvania
2. Note the white stork's nest to the right of the photo. Hard to see at this distance but there is a stork crouched in that nest.
3. Most villagers have a cow in this village each morning they let them out from their barns and onto the street to join the village herd. A herdsman then takes care of them whilst they graze on communal meadows (for a small fee).

If you're shocked by this incident - maybe it's time to stop supporting it
If you still eat other animals, drink their #milk (#AnimalAgriculture ) THIS is a #RealityCheck
These young #cows were vomiting, deficating in #Terror as they slowly #drowned
6,000🐮😭🚢

Let's talk about this article & #fetalbovineserum. @amlamey says (parenthetically) regarding in vitro meat "Dr. Post’s first burger was grown using fetal bovine serum, a slaughterhouse byproduct; his team & others have sought out animal-free replacements." nytimes.com/2020/07/02/opi…
What in this context does "have sought out" mean? They have sought out and FOUND animal-free replacements? Or they ARE STILL SEEKING animal-free replacements. Because the difference is meaning is the difference between #meat "without murder" and meat with murder.
Many people don't realize that #pregnant #cows are killed. Killed in #slaughterhouses, killed to be in hamburgers, killed to become "meat." #FetalBovineSerum is taken from the calf the pregnant cow is carrying. Sometimes that calf is alive after the mother cow's death.
