VOICED : India beef ban shines light on cow care homes

The video explores the bustling city of Mumbai and contrasts it with a peaceful cow shelter, or Goshala, where aging cows are cared for. It discusses the cultural and legal significance of cows in Maharashtra, where cow slaughter has been banned since 1976, with recent extensions to include bulls and bullocks. This has led to an increase in elderly male bovines being brought to shelters. However, the law has adversely affected the livelihoods of Muslim butchers, who have traditionally relied on cattle trading and meat cutting. The video highlights the challenges faced by these communities as they navigate the new legal landscape.
