Sacred cow ambulance service launched in India


Rohit S. Ambani

Recommended Posts

 

Keshav Prasad Maurya, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister, flagged off five ambulances on Monday that will cater to cows. The 'Gauvansh Chikitsa Mobile Vans' service will see that all injured cows are rescued and given appropriate treatment at 'gaushalas' after they are taken there in the ambulances.

 

Every ambulance will have a veterinarian doctor present along with an assistant. Also, a 'gauseva' toll-free number will also be put in place for locals to leave information about injured cows.

laughable when there are not enough ambulances for people. This is what happens when people put religious nonsense ahead of common sense.

 

Sorry that not everyone lives in first world paradises where people dont need God to survive. In countries like India, many people need to believe in God so they have faith that their future will be good, otherwise they wont have any hope. Nobody forced you to believe in their God, who the heck are you to look down on people who believe in whatever they choose ?

When 3rd world countries with poor resources spend money and manpower in 'ambulance for cows' instead of improving our ambulance coverage for people, it directly effects the people, to their detriment. That is why it is despicable.

How about investing this money on schools and education so that people don't believe in backwards practices?

I have two master degrees. Studied in 3 continents. Currently, am reading over 100 books on a variety of subjects. And I am religious 

 

Problem arises when people think linearly, when many things are nonlinear.  For e.g. if eating is good for health, eating more is not necessarily better

 

Say $X can save polar bears from becoming extinct or educate a town in Africa or rehabilitate a small population somewhere, the better option would be to save the polar bears from becoming "extinct" .... An argument suggesting that why spend $X on saving bears from becoming extinct when that amount could help educate a town or rehabilitate y number of people could sound hilarious 

 

Tomorrow, some folks could even suggest that why people become veterinarian at all when there is shortage of doctors which can help save more people

schools and education will have to adapt fast to even survive. Future is all about self teaching and learning. you can  learn all of your bachelors online with MIT , Stanford and Harvard courses online.

All these masters degrees doesn't obscure the fact that cows are not threatened animals, they are one of the most numerous. Saving cows for a 3rd world nation cannot be a legitimate goal when nearly half our patients die in ambulatory state due to ghastly roads and ambulance system. Until every penny goes to make ours like a western systems, i don't care about the dying cow more than the dying kid. Period.

Every other day there is news of some random person in some random corner of India carrying his sick/dead relative to the hospital(will make you teary eyed :((, lots of such videos out there) because of no ambulance in his region. Point is in a country like India where over half our population suffer like hell, priority should be given to their well being. Once we have attained some sort of balanced inclusive development(will take many decades) where all people have accessible ambulances, then we can think of extending the facility to bovines. Utter stupidity this, but what better to expect in present day India. Ruling party has already decided that cows are more important than our women/poor/oppressed.

 

Nothing against bovines here. We need more veterinary hospitals, veterinary doctors because we are terrible understaffed in that area at present. Also so many bovines have 30 kilos of plastic in their stomachs, how do we solve that? This cow ambulance service is an eyewash, another typical jumla by those in power.

Even after so much education you don't know simple multiplication :phehe:.1 Cow produces 10 calves in lifetime and live 20 years if 8 survive 4 will me male , totally useless, .So keep multiplying and tell what will be number of cows and bulls after 10-20-30-40-50 years.Don't slaughter now what will you do after 10-20-30 years. 

 

For other animals like dogs animal right activists sterilize them but dairy industry cannot sterilize cows as they will not give milk

You need hundreds of thousands of crores for that. Its not going to be solved overnight and its a process which is happening and will take time in a country with a population over 1.3 billion. Just because you divert even small resources to other causes, doesnt mean the other problem will immediately be solved. Its the same thinking of people who think India shouldnt send satellites because of poverty and rather use that money for alleviating poverty. 50 million(or whatever it costs) will not even solve a fraction of the problems in India.

 

I find it funny how helping animals which people like is considered something wrong in India. Whereas these pseudo liberals are the ones who dont want people to celebrate diwali as it will scare dogs.

No it is not the same thinking. Sending satellites and such, creates jobs for the people. however few people it benefits, it still benefits people. 
To set aside ambulatory service for an animal, when we have kids who die because they can't reach hospital in time, is simply putting religion before actual people and is deplorable. 


Just goes on to show that my prediction that Hinduvta is nothing more than hindu-mullahgiri and these guys are hijacking hinduism to turn it more like Islam is coming true day by day.

How is it any different from what other animal welfare groups are doing. So PETA should also stop saving animals just because kids are also dying ? Saving animals is mullahgiri just because its connected to cows ? Stupid logic.
