------------------------------------------------------------
Hare Krishna,
Obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
A shocking article has just been brought to my attention and I thought it
would be interesting for everyone to better understand the nature of what
we are up against.
The opening paragraph of this article reveals: "The Centre's Pink
Revolution<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pink-Revolution>to
promote meat production and export has led to a 44% increase in meat
consumption <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/meat-consumption> and
export in four years, but it has failed to regulate the industry."
Previous research performed by AFFCAP revealed that -- according to FAO
stats -- 4.9 million tonnes of meat was being produced annually via legal
slaughterhouses, of which 30% was beef.
Taking into account these new figures, India is now slaughtering over 7
million tonnes per annum. If the beef percentage remains constant, then 2.1
million tonnes of cows are now meeting the butcher knife.
Previously three cows per minute were being slaughtered in India; however,
that figure has increased to over four cows per minute.
Our prayer is that AFFCAP can make a difference at least within the goshala
movement to stop this horrific activity.
The full article can be found at:

Hoping this is meeting you well.
Best regards,
Vyapaka dasa
