The prime minister had already banned illegal slaughterhouses. As we said, cows are considered sacred by the Hindu religion, but in fact they represent the major source of livelihood for minorities.
Not surprisingly, the industry linked to the slaughter of cattle bills every year 3,7 billion EUR nationwide and 2,5 million people are employed in the sector. India is the world's largest exporter of cow and buffalo meat.
However, the phenomenon of illegal slaughter remains, which often causes episodes of ferocious violence. Now with this new ordinance, the prime minister promises a turning point for those who will abusively slaughter and mistreat animals.
