A group of activists and members of Gou Gyan foundation with the help of police rescued six cattle which are bought by many residents of DJ Halli to slaughter for upcoming Bakrid.

Based on the complaint filed by one of the volunteer,the DJ Halli police have registered a case against unknown persons and are investigating.

Nandini Matiyani, from Gau Gyan Foundation, carried a survey on cattle being tied up in front of the houses and later filed a complaint with the police on Sunday along with the video proofs taken in various localities of DJ Halli .

The police along with the volunteers on Sunday visited the localities and rescued the six cattle and later handed over to the volunteers to take them to the shelter.

The volunteers said that there are more than 25 cattle identified in the localities which are ready to be slaughters on Bakrid .

Earlier this year,the Governor of Karnataka,vide Karnataka ordinance number 1 of 2021, (the Karnataka prevention of slaughter and preservation of cattle ordinance, 2020) put a complete ban on slaughter, offering to be slaughtered, trade and transport for purpose of slaughter of all cattle (cows, bulls, calves and buffaloes) in the state of Karnataka.

This ordinance comes over and above the Karnataka Cattle Preservation Act 1964 which any way made it illegal to kill the cattle, the volunteers said in their complaint.

Every year certain criminal sections of the state exploit this festive time to break all ethical, moral and civil laws to butcher cattle mercilessly on streets creating a havoc for health, hygiene, as well as law and order in the city. The cruelty and pain inflicted upon the animals crosses all boundaries of human or civil conduct.

The fact that these goons are continuing their nefarious activities even today in broad light with complete disregard of the law puts a question mark on the law enforcing agencies of the state.

Gau gyan foundation is committed to saving innocent cows and bulls as provided for in the law of our country, and will leave no stone unturned to save the bulls and cows that have been collected at Devara jeevanahalli.

The DJ Halli police have registered complaint and are investigating further and culprits will be arrested soon said a senior officer.
