LETTERS TO THE EDITOR REGARDING POSERS TO PROPAGANDISTS OF ABATTOIRS
Dear Editor,
With reference to the report appearing in 20th issue of esteemed paper about the so called Seminar on Abattoir encouraging propaganda by the concerned interested few persons ignoring the vast masses, we have to reflect placing the following serious posers to all concerned:
1) COW-SLAUGHTER: While addressing to agitate for enforcement of Cow Protection Law, do the veteran politicians like Shri Kadidal Manjappa know, care and intend to know, what tremendous positive & constructive efforts are being made by the selfless workers & opponents of abattoir since several years for this purpose? When it is a Law, what the present and previous Governments (including his own) have done as their sacred duties to enforce it very sacredly & seriously? Why the Governments remain asleep and allow the unlawful slaughtering going on all over the State? Why they do not cooperate promptly & wholeheartedly with the cows-saving workers? (Hundreds of examples are there for such loopholes & lethargies), why the Government is rather not erecting huge cowsheds to keep such and other loitering cows in the heart of the city instead of planning the slaughter of the cows & cattle the costly wealth of the country?
2)
SCIENTIFIC APPROACH: The issue of abattoir is being viewed after deep allsided studies very objectively & scientifically by everyone's welfare-wishing, farsighted opponents of abattoir from all sections of the masses (one NOT a section f people) who are totally selfless and having no self or vested interests like most of the stalwarts of the motivated & one-sided seminar (it is wondered why, not a single opponent of the abattoir was invited at the seminar? where there should have been equal number of either side speakers and with an entirely neutral Judge to preside). It is the unwisely thinking propagandists & supporters of the abattoir and so called 'scientific' slaughtering who do not know at all what scientific approach means and who entirely ignore the eye-opening facts behind the issue and vast, all-well-wishing science. If genuinely sincere, why do they not go with fully open & unbiased inquisitive mind to study the actual condition and affairs of the existing huge modern abattoirs elsewhere in the country? Why don't they have the courage to have such on the spot observation of so called scientific killing? How far is it scientific to kill not only the animal-cattle, but also the economy and balance of living of the nation? Should these scientific supporters be humbly requested to have such site-study & practical survey leaving the air-conditioned rooms, thinking on the dining tables at the luxurious hotels?
After they have such an indepth study in actuality, it is to be asked what and how is the use & implementation of science & scientific approach? Should science be utilised at the cost of human welfare, country's economy and the animal - voiceless animal's right of living & coexistence? Secondly, if science does not meet this requirement, is it to be blindly followed and installed at the supreme place of Super God in the life of humankind? If at all so, it will have to be positively united
