#peopleforanimals Does the benevolent cow not have any say in how her life pans out? All animal slaughter is cruel. Indeed the cow is a gentle generous being that sustains all without discrimination- like a benevolent tree that gives of its fruit and shade. As a Lover of animals I've always had a special feeling of love for all animals but especially the cow. While a ban, to my mind, is Not the answer - it is indeed also a start toward Coercion, given the cruelty and violence - even murder of this bovine animal! Old habits, eating culture etc operate unless mindsets are transformed! The Buddha approach is I think the answer of non- violence to all! Teach, educate, sensitivise from childhood on to empathise and love all beings. Expose children to animals and love happens! Would they then easily slaughter & behead innocent defenceless creatures only for their personal pleasure?? The transformation will come from the wellspring of the heart and spread like a sweeping wave - let us start with this benevolent vote to ban murder! Already a great part of the world, compared to just 50 years ago,india is on halfway road to denying killing the benevolent cow! And people are more responsive to the message. Compassionate minds - not aggressive mind-sets!! Vote to save the cow with love and compassion 🙏 #animallove #animallover #animalcruelty (at Jehangir Art Gallery)
