NEED FOR STRONG ACTION
State Times
|June 01, 2025
Bovine smuggling, the illegal transportation of cattle across regions or borders for purposes such as slaughter or trade, has emerged as a significant concern in several parts of India. It poses serious threats to animal welfare, law and order, communal harmony, and even national security, especially along sensitive international borders such as those shared with Bangladesh.
-
One of the major reasons behind the rise in bovine smuggling is the high demand for cattle, particularly for beef and leather production. Smugglers often transport cattle in inhumane conditions, crammed into trucks or hidden in vehicles without food or water for long durations. This not only causes immense suffering to the animals but also often results in their death before reaching the destination.
