are tortured and milk is polluted. Though milk is considered as one of the healthy diets, it becomes too much unhealthy when it is milked on the basis of artificial method.
d) Artificial Method of Pregnancy - The science has discovered the artificial way of pregnancy of animals. So, often tamers of cows and buffalos get them pregnanted through artificial method for saving their time and energy. They do not care that like human beings animals also want to satisfy their sexual demand by coupling with their opposite sex. The animals are devoid of natural sexual satisfaction which may be considered as violence. As the non-violence way of living claims that even animals should be helped for enjoying their natural life.
e) Way to Butchery - The oxen, cows, buffalos etc. during their whole lives, help human beings by ploughing their fields, carrying their heavy things, giving milk etc. But as soon as they become old they are neglected by their masters. The cruel masters, instead of showing gratitude to them for their different helping activities, sell them to butchers who bring them to butcheries. In the butcheries the poor old animals are killed for getting their flesh and leathers.
f) Process of Curd - Making - The curd is vegetarian diet, which is made of milk. The process of making curd from milk is well known. A small quantity of curd which is known in Hindi as 'Jivan' or “Jemana' or 'Jāman', 'Jorana' etc, is mixed with milk and after eight to ten hours the milk itself changed into curd. As scientists proclaim; in the small quantity of curd or Jemana which is mixed with milk there is some sort of bacterias, which spreads in the milk and causes the change of milk into curd. The curd is known as good as the bacterias spread in the milk. The process of making curd which is seen generally at different places also supports the scientific theory. In the summer season Jemana is mixed in the milk when it becomes cold after being boiled and in the winter season Jemana is put into the milk when it is found hot to some extent. Perhaps this process is maintained for getting the bacterias alive. If it is right the curd may be known as a collective form of bacterias and use of curd is injurious.
