Parliament members will also work in different corners for raising funds to carry out this campaign. Every school, college, University, village and town will have to be approached by Animal Lovers and friends to spread the message in a way that penetrates their hearts. Saints, Sages and religious leaders can be invited as Rajaya Sabha Members (Elders) in the proposed parliament, so that they may also contribute in bringing about total revolution.
The Parliament through its activities should then aim at programmes of:
1.
Preventing establish ment of new and additional slaughter houses in the country;
2.
Removing illegal killing and slaughter in village and cities all over the country.
3.
Pursuading States and Central Governments not to encourage killing of animals for export, development of fisheries as industry, growth of poultry farms for eggs and slaughter of chickens.
4.
Promoting establishment of pure vegetarian restaurants and hotels in every village, town and city.
5. Vigorous publicity campaign through T.V. and Radio high-lighting
the advantages of vegetarianism and the adverse consequeucts of killing animals.
6. Establishing branches of Hinsa Nivaran Sangh in every corner of the
country, so that local volunteers and local leaders carry on this campaign at all times.
7.
Publishing literature, through books, journals and newspapers why animals should not be killed and why people should have compassion, mercy, kindness and love towards all creatures, especially animals and birds.
8. Making people realise that innocent animals, who have not harmed
you, who have not done anything wrong to you, who have always cbliged you by obeying and giving several things, who are faithful to you, who have not cheated or betrayed you, should not be killed by a man. In short, to high-light the invaluable contribution of animals to
man.
