The investigation

From 2021 to 2022, Animal Equality has conducted an extensive investigation into 27 small and medium farms, 6 animal markets and 2 slaughterhouses in the states of Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana and West Bengal documenting cruel and illegal practices, some of which are exhibited below.

Many of the practices are a blatant violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, the Transport Rules, 1978, the Slaughterhouse Rules, 2001, and various orders from High Courts and Supreme Court of India.

Animal Equality has presented a list of minimum recommendations to the Indian Government to protect these animals.

The evidence

Male calves are separated from their mothers and either sold for slaughter or starved to death as they do not produce any milk, while female calves will replace the older ailing females who are no longer fertile.
Dairy animals do not receive any exercise whatsoever. They are tethered by short ropes all their lives forcing them to sit in their own feces and urine.
It’s common for dairy farmers to stuff the body or even just the head of a dead calf with hay, trying to trick the mother into thinking she is feeding her baby.
Workers inject buffaloes with Oxytocin to stimulate their production of milk.
Animal markets meant for sale of bulls and other animals for agricultural purposes often facilitate the sale of unproductive animals and male calves for slaughter.
Handlers at the market cram several animals into transport trucks. They shove sticks or fingers in animals’ genitals and twist and break their tails to get them onto the truck.
