a. Ban on cow slaughter is not a new demand.

It has been in constitution


since inception. And no community in India has any philosophical
objections to it. While beef is associated with Muslims normally, fact of
matter is that there is nothing in Islam that demands beef-eating. In fact
some Hadiths suggest beef is unhealthy while milk is good.

1.
a)Provisions, contained in Part IV of the Constitution of India, are
not enforceable by any court. Hence it is understood that they are
not in the same category as the fundamental rights.
b) They do form an integral injunctions being fundamental in the
governance of the state/country and must be kept in mind by the
law makers while framing policies.
c) So, cow slaughter does find its mentions with respect to Gandhian
principles in DPSP and hence has constitutional legality.
d) Yet. Was fundamental right to property (as mentioned in article
31 of the original constitution) not constitutionally legal? Is the
debated article 370 not constitutionally legal? Why then are and
were they challenged and repealed? Also the very amendments
made to constitutions till date should be considered then as
violation of the constitutional sanctity? Article 32 hence proclaimed
the father of the constitution as the soul of the constitution, which
will allow and appreciate the fluid nature of national growth and
changing needs. Thus if a light is thrown on the fact that cow
slaughter ban is not a necessity, is purely an appeasement and
contradictory to the very essence of pluralism and diversity an
alternative model has to be adopted and such articles be amended.
Constitution is not above the people and not above truth and
justice.
b. Ban on beef is not purely on religious sentiments. It is based on
religious sentiments that have complete scientific justification.
Forget about India. WHO is recommending discouragement of beef
across globe to eradicate hunger and pollution. So should it not be
our duty to act proactively on this when it is foundation of our
culture as well?
c. Those who claim to love potato are those who are claiming so for
sake of argument alone. Let there be genuine case of potato-lovers.
And if there is merit in their demands, of course, there would be
ban. Just as there has been ban on use of plastic bags and gutka in
many places. After all why should there be reluctance in accepting a
better path? And why should there is reluctance in accepting a
better path just because there are hurdles in accepting a better path
in some other domain?

Wonderful logical argument. Accepted.


d. Jainism is based on foundation on self-improvement. In fact no
Indian philosophy attempts to enforce own belief on others. So Jains
attempt to practice their beliefs without imposing on others. As for
cow, it is a socio-economic matter as well. It is not merely a
personal belief.
You have somehow missed my assertion here. What if Jains come
out demanding their belief system to be imposed? Will then we
accept their demands to be imposed on us? One may say, yes, if
their demands are logical and in the direction of welfare of society
they may well be accepted. So is the way with cow slaughter. You
have very well tried to establish that such a ban in india is in the
direction of welfare of india as well as the world as a whole. So, if
there is logical and reasonable basis in your argument there is no
reason why it should not be accepted as such. Hence we need to
throw some light on your arguments before coming to the point of
accepting it.

e. Tell me which sect considers something as holy or precious as


mother and yet allows its killing? Except cow, none has such status?
Then why allow killing of cow because of hypothetical assumptions
that are not true in first place.
I have very well accepted your arguments against potato lovers
(hypothetical assumptions as you so say). Now is there a
sect/religion that allows killing of what it hold dear. Yes Islam does
allow killing of its very God by people who disrespect and malign
their God, who reject their God, who associate partners with their
God because Islam does not force its belief systems on others. And
for your kind consideration I am not talking about Muslims like Zakir
Naik or Talibans or terrorists but about Islam in its very spirit as
defined by the revelation of God and by the practice of its
messenger.
f. A theological belief system has to be personal. In fact biggest
problem with Islamic world today is emergence of those who want to
impose their belief system on others. Believe what you want to. But
respect right of others to differ. Dont throw them in Hell just
because they differ from you.
I have explained this above. Islam (submission to God/ Truth) does
not throw people to hell who sincerely seek God and practice the
commands of God in whichever version of Islam/submission
(Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Jains etc.) one Follow. Hell is

promised to those who after realization of truth (God) reject it. If a


Hindu (or any religious person )realizes sincerely, seeks sincerely,
reasons sincerely and approaches truth sincerely and arrives some
nearness to truth which may be a belief in 33 crore gods and yet
after such arrival rejects the very established relative truth (those
33 crore gods) he is the one who is deserving of hell. A Muslim is not
just a person who follows Islamic Quran, messenger, customs and
cultures but is the one who submits to truth. Hence a person born in
Islamic environment after realizing the truth in Christianity or
Hinduism converts to Christianity or Hinduism is Muslim (submitting
to truth) in true sense. But there are very few Muslims in this world
and I agree to your critique of the version of Islam a majority of
Muslims portray.

Case of cow is different. Unlike God, heaven, hell, prophet, angels


which are all unseen, cow is a living creature that can think, feel and
act. And a huge population revers this living creature as their
mother because of her immense contribution in their lives. The
killing of this creature leads to diseases, poverty, hunger and
pollution. So how can its killing be justified just because some sect
prays to God in some unique way?
Case of cow is different unlike God. Because killing of Cow hurts the
animal per se but killing of God hurts the very existence of
humanity. This is not the place here to debate the existence of God,
scheme of creation and purpose of existence. So we can discuss this
on some other occasion. But as far as belief systems are concerned
cow slaughter hurts the animal as well as environments but God
slaughter the entire human existence. Since this whole preposition
presented here by me would seem an abstract without proper
context lets leave it at this.
g. If you ask me, yes, vegetarianism is the future for sustainable
world that is ecologically and economically fulfilling for all. Few
decades from now world will be forced to gravitate towards
vegetarianism irrespective of personal preferences purely because
of survival needs, withering away of irrational love for meat and
availability of more sustainable alternatives. Earlier we reach there,
the better.
Most polluting industries of the world
Water footprint of beef is highest of all food
Cow is the most productive animal known in planet
Meat is cause of hunger and poverty in the world

They could feed at least 10 times more people using the same efforts
and energy
What could be a greater form of charity than simply avoiding meat!
There is no meat-product for which a healthier vegetarian alternative
does not exist.
I am deemed a murderer because I snatched the most precious gift of
life. There are significant differences in plants and animals, and that is
why even science of biology clearly differentiates study of botany and
zoology.
Then even domestication of animals and drinking milk should be crime?
Well, these are ambiguous topics then killing of animals is bound to be a
crime of much much higher magnitude
http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factoryfarming/cows/dairy-industry/Cows, like humans, only give milk after theyve
had a baby

Thus, if indeed humans want to be natural, they should protect and not
torture animals.

meat-eating is a social-evil that thrives from dark-ages like gender


discrimination, racism etc. It is hardly a century ago that we gave voting rights
to women.
So give compassion and humanity and get back prosperity, health and
happiness. Be human, love humans. Say no to meat!
There will be more prosperity and employment. And environment will
also thank them.

(http://agniveer.com/why-beef-lovers-are-completely-wrong/)
Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do: to nourish their
young. In order to force the animals to continue giving milk, factory
farm operators typically impregnate them using artificial insemination every
year. Calves are generally taken from their mothers within a day of being bor

h. No one can explain how taste of beef can be considered a


fundamental right. By that logic, even human flesh would be
included. Supreme Court in 2005 noted this very excellently. Refer
our earlier article for more on this. In fact, I would call those
opposing beef-ban as self-centered bigots who are insensitive to
plight of million, environment and future of planet, have no respect
for scientifically sound sentiments of millions and keep their tonguetingle above everything else.

But what if you care about your health and the environment, and prefer to include
some protein from animal sources in your diet?
To help you make more informed choices at the store,Delicious Living took a
close look at the eco-impact of common protein sourcesboth plant and animal
and chose our favorite recipes to match. The bottom line: The simplest way to
reduce environmental impact is to eat less resource-intensive meat,
especially beef. And when you do eat meat, be choosy about where it comes from
and how its raised. Buying organic, pastured, locally raised meat whenever
possible makes a big differenceand sends a message about consumer priorities
to factory-farm producers.
that all those animals in nature, who are grass eaters, the animals which are thriving on
leaves they have got bovine teeth, they do not have canine teeth. All those animals
which are eating flesh, meat eaters, they have got canine teeth what we call Rakshi.
Human being is the one specie, which has got both bovine teeth, as well as canine teeth. It
is very likely, that nature wanted this specie to survive Nature considered that this
species human beings, are the most important specie which should be there in this
world. They should try to contribute they should try to carry My message, and take it
further. So they wanted the nature probably wanted this specie to survive under all
circumstances. Nobody can deny that the early Homo Sapiens or Homo erectus they
were all flesh eaters at that time there was no agriculture if you look at the evolution
as we now learn from science. It is only the advance advance. of civilization, that people
started taking to agriculture. When they started taking to agriculture and started growing
Corns some of them became Vegetarians, some of them remained Non-Vegetarian,
some of them became the mixture of both they also took Vegetarian as well as NonVegetarian and most of the Non-Vegetarian people today, also eat Vegetarian food as a
part of the diet.
If I prove that an Apple is better than a Mango that does not mean Mango, is
prohibited.
A person who does not have Vegetarian food it does not mean, a person who does not
have vegetable and fruits. Let it be very clear to all of you. A more technical and a
scientific word is, an Omnivorous diet.
exaggeration of benefits of Vegetarianism
Let us analyze the geographical reasons and the surrounding environment and as we
know, it influences is the persons food habit like people living in the coastal region
the Kookiness, they have more fish People living in South India, they have more Rice
People living in the desert, where there is scarcity of vegetation, and people mainly
survive on the flesh of animals. The Eskimo in the Arctic region, where there is scarcity of
edible vegetation, they survive more on sea food. And Mr. Zaveri said that he knows
that vegetable is not available in certain parts of the world, but today, due to
advancement of transportation, we can supply them with vegetables. I would request the
Indian Vegetarian Congress to supply, at least give the transportation cost that is all
to supply to the Eskimos, to supply to Saudi Arabia. You get vegetables in Saudi Arabia, it

is more expensive Why? because the cost of transportation that makes if more
expensive. It is illogical and unscientific to spend more money, to buy a food which is less
nutritious. Let us analyze the Humane reason, the Ethical reasons And the pure
Vegetarians, they say that All life is sacred and no living creature should be killed.
They fail to realize that today, it is a universal fact, that even plants have got life So the
main argument on killing living creature, does not hold good today. Previously may be a
couple of centuries ago, it may have held some weight, but today it carries no weight.
Then they further argue today, and they say Yes we know that plants have got life, but
they cannot feel pain therefore killing a plant, is a lesser crime and lesser sin, as
compared to killing an animal. Today, science has further advanced, and we have come
to know that even the plants can feel pain, they can even cry But the cry of the plant
cannot be heard by the human ear, because the audible frequency range of the human
ear, is from 20 cycles per second, to 20,000 cycles per second Anything below and
above this, the human ear cannot hear.
But the cry of the animal can be heard by the human being but the cry of the plant
cannot be heard by the human being Just because you cannot hear the cry of the plant,
that does not justify you to inflict pain or kill the plant

Bigger sin..one animal and 100 plants


Why is eating meet natural?

a) We have teeth that are omnivorous. The human beings have an Omnivorous set of
teeth, for eating Veg. as well as Non-Veg.
b) If you analyze the digestive system of the human being, it can digest both Veg. as well
as Non-Veg.There are certain enzymes like Lipase, Trapezes, Kino Trapezes, which are
mainly meant for digesting Non-Vegetarian food.
1) the animals graze on land which is unsuitable for growing crops. They eat the plants
which is inedible for the human beings like husk and stocks corn stocks. They do not
eat plants which are edible for the human being Yes! they can eat But when they enter
the fields, the farmer, but natural, takes them out of the field
2) If the Non-Vegetarians stop slaughtering the cattle do you know, that there will be
over population of cattle. If we kill Lion, Tiger, they will become extinct
3) There is not a single statement in any authentic medical book which says Non-Veg.
food in general, should be banned.There is not a single government on the face of the
earth, which has banned all Non-Veg. food, as a general rule.
4)The American Council on Science and Health has said thatFor a healthy diet, being
a pure Vegetarian is not required.
The question is not whether veganism or non vergeterianism is a healthy preposition?
Eating in excess
Banned is justified in the absence of prevention
Non vegetarian does not mean not eating veg.

The truth is that agriculture is the most destructive


thing humans have done to the planet, and more of
the same wont save us. The truth is that agriculture
requires the wholesale destruction of entire
ecosystems. The truth is also that life isnt possible
without death, that no matter what you eat,
someone has to die to feed you.
Specifically, agriculture is biotic cleansing. It
requires taking over entire living communities and
clearing them away, then planting the land for just
humans. All of that is a long way of saying
extinction. None of us can live without a place to
live, without habitat. An activity that has destroyed
98% of most animals habitat can hardly be claimed
to be animal-friendly.

The planet has been skinned alive. And the only


reason we have not hit complete collapse is
because weve been eating fossil fuel since 1950
(green revolution and use of fossil fuels). This is not
a plan with a future as peak oil is probably behind
us and we are on the downside of Hubberts curve.

Forests conversion involves removing natural


forests to meet other land needs, such as
plantations and agriculture. This process is usually
irreversible. Forest depletion is not just depletion of
green cover but a whole lot of ecosystem species
associated.

Conversion of forests from South America's tropical forests


to Russias temperate forests to meet worldwide demand for
consumer products is leading to deforestation and a range of
ecological and social impacts.
As a result, agriculture is widely believed to be one of the main
causes of deforestation. Around the world, forests are giving
way to plantations for oil palm, soy, rubber, coffee, tea, and
rice among many other crops.

Of increasing concern is the soaring popularity of biofuels.


Biofuels are generated from oils extracted from plants such as
oil palm - which are often grown on land cleared of natural
forests.

Social impacts of
agricultural expansion
There are also concerns about the social impacts of
agricultural expansion. For example, in the expanding soy
plantations of Brazil, poor people are lured from villages and
deprived neighbourhoods to remote soy estates where they
are put to work in barbaric conditions, sometimes at gunpoint,
with no chance of escape.Worker abuse is especially
prevalent where there is strong agricultural expansion, such as
in the Amazon states of Par and Mato Grosso. Although this
abuse happens in remote farms, the landowners who
are responsible are closely connected with the rest of the
world through their soy trading activities.

Both the meat-based average American diet and the


lactoovovegetarian diet require significant quantities of
nonrenewable fossil energy to produce. Thus, both food
systems are not sustainable in the long term based on heavy
fossil energy requirements. However, the meat-based diet
requires more energy, land, and water resources than the
lactoovovegetarian diet. In this limited sense, the
lactoovovegetarian diet is more sustainable than the average
American meat-based diet.
