The New Indian Express
|July 12, 2024
A customised truck illegally carrying 45 cattle heads, mostly buffaloes including young calves, was seized in Chengalpattu and the animals were sent to a Tamil Nadu Animal Welfare Board-recognised shelter.
Chengalpattu police told TNIE that information was received about a truck illegally transporting cattle from a shanty in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. "We intercepted the truck near Acharapakkam in Madurantakam on Wednesday evening. The animals were rescued and an FIR has been filed." The case has been filed for many violations, including under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Activists said that this was just one of the many trucks that are allegedly picking up cows and buffaloes from different shanties in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and supplying them to illegal slaughter houses in Kerala. Cattle from the state also are illegally transported in these trucks, they alleged.
