Around 30 cattle, including around 10 cows, have starved to death at a sheltered place in Andhra Pradesh.The officials said, highlighting the neglect animals face while people are being killed under the pretext of cow protection.
Officials who went to check found decomposed carcasses rotting away in heaps of cow dung within the premises of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty towards Animals (SPCA) shelter at Kakinada in East Godavari district.
“We have recovered around 14 carcasses of cattle believed to have died on the day before, Tuesday. Four more cattle died on Wednesday,” joint director of animal husbandry V Venkateshwara Rao told Hindustan Times.400 cattle that survived there were in a bad shape due to lack of food. Twenty-two were moved to “safer locations” on Wednesday while some more were to be shifted out on Thursday.The reason behind this cattle death is there is no fodder and water at the centre.
