500 Cows Starve To Death In Rajasthan Shelter, Their Hooves Stuck In Muck
More than 500 cows have died in the last two weeks, say volunteers, at a shelter near Jaipur in Rajasthan, their neglected stalls turning into death traps. Since more than 250 contractual workers at the Hingonia cow shelter went on strike last month to demand that they be paid, no one has cleaned the stalls where the animals are kept or fed them, and many have starved to death, their hooves stuck in slush caused by heavy rain and cow dung.
