AHMEDABAD: Cows are essential for existence of the universe. The day there is no cow slaughter, all problems of the earth will be solved and there will be well-being everywhere, says the Tapi district court of Gujarat. Court made these observations regarding a cattle smuggling case.

The cattle were smuggled from Maharashtra. Mohammad Ameen who is the accused was charged with the transportation of 16 cattle without necessary arrangements for the cattle to sit, eat or drink. Ameen was arrested in 2020. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and 5 lakhs fine.

'It is necessary for the existence of earth that not a single drop of cow bled is shed. Cow is not only an animal but a mother. Although discussions happen for cows nothing is implemented. Apart from religious factors social matters must also be taken into account. Wealth disappears when cows are unhappy', said the court. Principal district judge Samir Vinodchandra Vyas made the observations quoting slokas.
