The story of the cows

One needs to think twice if he wants to own a cow in Jagraon.It is a
holy animal in India.When it stops giving milk the farmers abandon
it.If they give it to the Gau Shala(charity based cowshed) they are
charged.So the farmers drive them away in the darkness of the
night.Since the cows damage the crops.The farmers often remain awake
at night to save thier wheat crop.They drive them away to another
persons farms or to another village.They do it stealithly lest others
should object.Sometimes they pool in funds to drop them in trucks at
far of villages at night.The villagers remain ever vigilant lest some
truck shouid drop the holy passengers(cows)near their fields.Some
farmers give bath to the cow,tie a thread accross its neck before
abandoning it.In this way a farmer may take it to his home thinking
that it is a milk giving cow who could have escaped from somebody's
house.He pulls the cow by the rope and takes it to its house little
knowing that it then becomes his liability to dispose of the
animal.About 10years ago we were getting our Kothi constructed when I
was misguided by the mason to domesticate a stray cow.the mason
misguided me to get it artificially insemenated.It had to be abandoned
with difficulty.
