Punishments

Question . What are the punishments prescribed in Vedas to the killer of cow?

(Atharv Veda 1/16/4) Vedas prescribe killing with bullet of lead for a cow killer.
If thou destroy a cow of ours, a human being, or a steed,
we pierce thee with this piece of lead so that thou mayst not slay
our men.

Source- Hymns of the Atharv Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith

2. (Rig Veda 7.56.17) Punish the killer of the cow and the man.

So may the Maruts help us and be gracious, bringing free room to lovely Earth and Heaven.
Far be your bolt that slayeth men and cattle. Ye Vasus, turn yourselves to us with blessings.

Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith

3. (Rig-Veda 1/114/10) Vedas says to keep away from the killer of the cow

Far be thy dart that killeth men or cattle: thy bliss be with us, O thou Lord of Heroes.
Be gracious unto us, O God, and bless us, and then vouchsafe us doubly-strong protection.

Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith

4. (Rig Veda 10/87/16) Those who kill the ‘Aghanya’, the cow which is not to be killed according to the Vedic edicts, their heads should be chopped off.
The fiend who smears himself with flesh of cattle, with flesh of horses and of human bodies,
Who steals the milch-cow's milk away, O Agni,—tear off the heads of such with fiery fury.

Source-Rig Veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith

5. (Yajurveda 30/18) Vedas Awards death sentence to the killer of the cow.

For the Dice-king a gambler; for the die Krita one who
contemplates his adversary's ill luck, for the Tretâ a
gamble-manager; for the Dvâpara a chief manager; for Askanda
one who will not leave the gambling-hall; for Mrityu one
who approaches cows; for Antaka a Cow-killer; for
Hunger one who goes begging to a man who is cutting
up a cow; for Misdeed a leader of the Charakas; for
Misery a robber;

A Dairy Farm of 12000 cows in Saudi Desert

Al Rayan Dairy Farm in Hofuf in Saudi. It was unbelievable to see the cows walking into the milking area in perfect line and standing patiently for fixing the milking machine. Then walking away in such a disciplined manner. This is 3 times a day giving on an average 45L of milk a day!

DNA

http://www.dnaindia.com/topic/cow

Kollam (KERALA): A local court here has ordered DNA testing on a cow to settle a dispute over its ownership by two women at Punalur in the district.

Based on the court order, the cow was brought to a veterinary hospital and collected blood samples on Monday to be sent to the lab for test whether it matched with that of its mother that is in possession of one of the litigants.

Judicial First Class Magistrate Santhosh Das issued the order after one Geetha from a nearby village complained that her cow and its calf were held in illegal possession by one Sasilekha.

Geetha held that she had let her cow to graze in the forest area but did not return. She contended that she later traced the cow at Sasilekha's premises, who refused to give it back to her.

Geetha then lodged a complaint with the police but failed to get the issue resolved. She later took the matter to the court. For want of proper evidence in the case, the court ordered that DNA test be conducted on the cow and report back whether it matches with the mother cow.

The blood sample of the cow has been sent to the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnolgy at Thiruvananthapuram for testing and the report awaited soon, police sources said.

Vijay

After a string of box-office flops, actor Vijay who nurtures political ambitions has now turned to bovine blessings. 

http://totamil.blogspot.in/search/label/Vijay

The actor gifted 108 milch cows to poor families in Udumalpet near Coimbatore. 

The 36-year-old actor's under-production film 'Velayudham' is being shot in the Kollywood's famous coconut-lined locale of Udumalpet.

Bellowing cows lined up at a glitzy function in Udumalpet town as Vijay personally handed over the bovines to villagers. In Hindu tradition, donating cows is considered to be a sacred gift to appease the Gods. 

The actor, the production crew of 'Velayudham' and his fan clubs pooled in funds to gift the cows. At the function held a day before Deepavali, Vijay tried to strike an emotional chord with the poor of Tamil Nadu.

''Many TN families are unable to buy fireworks for their kids because of poverty. But these milch cows will provide a livelihood for the poor people,'' he said.

MP Cow Progeny Slaughter Prevention Bill gets Presidential nod

President Pratibha Patil has granted her assent to the long-pending Madhya Pradesh Cow Progeny Slaughter Prevention (Amendment) Bill which proposes seven-year imprisonment for cow slaughter.
The Gau-Vansh Vadh Pratishedh (Sanshodhan) Vidheyak has received the Presidential approval following which it has become an act and has subsequently been published in the extraordinary gazette, an official release said today.
In fulfillment of its commitment to protecting and conserving cow progeny, the state government had passed the amendment bill in the state Assembly in 2010 to remove the flaws in the Madhya Pradesh Gauvansh Pratishedh Adhiniyam 2004 (Madhya Pradesh Cow Progeny Slaughter Prevention Regulation), the release said.
The amendment act also obviated the difficulties and to make the provisions more stringent.
With the enforcement of the amended act, now the responsibility of proving the prosecution wrong would lie with the accused in case of cow slaughter.
Similarly, a guilty of cow slaughter would be liable to imprisonment for seven years instead of present three years and a minimum fine of Rs 5,000 which may be increased by the court.
The amended act provides that no person shall slaughter or cause to be slaughtered or offered for slaughter of any cow progeny by any means.
Besides, no person, including transporter, shall transport or offer for transport or cause to be transported any cow progeny himself or by his agent, servant or by any other person acting in his behalf within the state or outside the state for the purpose of its slaughter in contravention of the provisions of the Act or with the knowledge that it will be or is likely to be slaughtered.
The amended Act also has provisions for specifying necessary actions for feeding and rearing the cow progeny.

Under the Act, any police officer not below the rank of head constable or any person authorised in this behalf by competent authority shall have the power of entry, inspection, search and seizure and to present the case in the court.

It may be mentioned here that the state government had forwarded the amendment Bill on September 3, 2010 to the Union Home Ministry for Presidential nod.

The assent was received on December 22, 2011. The amended Act has been published in the extraordinary gazette of Madhya Pradesh on December 31, 2011.

The state government would take action for enforcement of the amended Act through a notification.

Cancer


Southland children who were at schools that got rid of the free milk programme in 1950 could have a 30 per cent higher risk of bowel cancer than those who had daily milk until 1967, a new study says. The University of Otago research, recently published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, surveyed 562 New Zealanders between the ages of 30 and 69 who had developed colorectal cancer and 571 people of the same age who did not. The study's co-author, Professor Brian Cox, said results showed those who had daily milk in schools had a 30 per cent lower risk of bowel cancer. The risk was lowest in those who had drunk about 1200 bottles of milk during their school years. Between 1937 and 1967, when the scheme was abolished, all New Zealand schoolchildren were given half a pint of full milk a day. However, from 1950, many Southland schools opted out of the scheme after being given the option by the provincial education board. For people who started school in Southland from 1951 to 1967, only 36 per cent had had school milk at least once. In other regions in the same period, 85 per cent of children had had milk, the study said. If the results of the study held true, Southland schoolchildren from 1950 would have a 30 per cent higher risk of developing colorectal cancers, but more investigation was necessary before firm conclusions could be drawn, Prof Cox said. The Otago-Southland region had a historically high rate of bowel cancer compared to the rest of the country, he said. "We're still trying to work out why ... The school milk study doesn't fully explain that." A British study had suggested increased calcium intake could actually increase the risk of bowel cancer, but Prof Cox said it had been less specific than the New Zealand study and used different methodology. New Zealand drinking water also contained less calcium compared to Britain, which could have an impact, he said. It appeared higher calcium intake in youth resulted in fewer growths, called adenomas, forming on the intestinal walls, he said. Adenomas are seen as precursors to malignant cancer. Dairy giant Fonterra announced a plan to reintroduce a daily portion of milk to 110 primary schools in Northland last week. Prof Cox welcomed the plan, but said government help would be needed to keep it going. "If it was run for a couple of years then stopped it's not going to achieve a lot," he said.

Hit and Run

It was no ordinary hit-and-run accident that jolted motorists and pedestrians on 2nd main road near Jayamahal Extension, RT Nagar on Saturday night, because this was no ordinary victim.

This is the incredibly heart-warming story of a group of people who came together to save a helpless animal that would otherwise have lost its life, and its calf, in a road accident. Around 8.45 pm on Saturday, there was a smattering of vehicles plying on Jayamahal Extension 2nd main road, along the mosque and the compound of the burial grounds, when two cows were seen attempting to cross the road.

The driver of the car, who was speeding, reportedly tried to overtake the animals sharply but rammed into the right hind flank of one of the cows. Even while the animal screamed in pain, the callous driver sped away, but one of the motorists chased him and managed to take his driver's license and phone number before he jumped back in the vehicle and sped away.

"A traffic policeman who reached the spot around 9 pm called for medical help and back up, but in vain. Fortunately, a veterinary doctor, Dr Mahmood Abbas, who was passing by with his friend saw the cow and rushed to help. Though the road was pitch-dark with barely any streetlights, people from the crowd used the lights from their mobile phones to help the doctor see, as he began a procedure lasting nearly three hours on the wounded animal.

Another onlooker, Syed Rasoul, ran into the Muslim burial ground nearby and returned with a piece of cloth that he used as a makeshift rope to hobble the animal whilst the surgery was being performed. Someone else brought a bucket of water which they used to wash the cow's wounds and calm it down. The operation went on for nearly three hours, and it was well after midnight by the time the injured animal's wounds had been stitched.

Had it not been for the intervention of some selfless, compassionate passersby including a veterinary surgeon named - who performed an operation lasting two hours on the animal in the middle of the road - the victim would not have made it.
