00:00 We worship the cow and we torture it no end.

00:13 And people talk about Desi cow's milk, Desi cow's ghee.

00:21 They do not even know what they are doing to the creature they call as mother.

00:30 Is this the kind of behavior?

00:37 You meet out to your mother, milk her, put a noose around her neck, leash her to a pole

00:50 or something or to a nail and then keep milking her, artificially inseminate her

01:05 and then leave her to her fate once she becomes old and infertile and dry.

01:25 In the name of worshipping the cow, we have done great injustice to the cow.

01:33 Again you know people need to be presented with facts and figures.

01:38 People need to know that the dairy industry and the meat industry are inseparable.

01:45 People think and there are millions of such people in India.

01:51 People think of meat eating as some kind of a lowly activity.

01:56 It is even a taboo to many but they think of milk, drinking milk as something holy.

02:07 So the fellow will say I don't even touch eggs.

02:12 I survive only on milk.

02:15 As if milk is any less cruel a product than eggs or meat.

02:29 The direct and symbiotic relationship between the milk industry, milk products industry

02:43 and the meat industry is not at all clear to people.

02:48 Not at all.

02:49 There will be people who will be prepared to lay down their lives if they are asked

02:57 to eat meat.

02:58 They will say we are prepared to get killed but we will not take meat.

03:04 I respect their sentiment.

03:06 But these are the very same people who have no scruples, no qualms about gulping down

03:17 liters after liters of milk and lassi and kheer and ghee and paneer and cheese.

03:26 I am not blaming them.

03:27 I am just saying they are not informed.

03:30 They do not know where all the meat comes from.

03:35 They do not even know that India is a big exporter, close to being the largest exporter

03:42 of meat.

03:43 Where is that meat coming from?

03:46 People do not bother to know what happens to the cow once it stops yielding milk.

03:56 And I do not mean to say that the only injustice meted out to the cow is the one after it becomes

04:04 old.

04:05 Even when the cow is young, people need to go and check out what her life cycle is like

04:23 and for the sake of somebody who cannot survive without cattle milk.

04:30 It is quite stupid.

04:32 There is no animal in the entire universe that needs to have milk of any creature other

04:42 than its own mother.

04:45 Man is the only one who wants to drink cow milk, buffalo milk, goat milk, yak milk, camel

04:57 milk.

04:58 Camel milk is for the camel offspring.

05:04 Is it not?

05:07 Buffalo's milk is for the calf.

05:12 So what kind of ingredients is the buffalo milk likely to have?

05:22 The ones that are suitable only to the buffalo calf.

05:28 Remember those ingredients are suitable only to the calf.

05:37 What will those ingredients do?

05:39 They will quickly turn the little calf into a full grown bull.

05:48 Is that what you want to become?

05:50 A bull with a huge body and very little brains?

05:58 (bell chimes)
