HELP US REDUCE THE SUFFERING OF GOATS

Animal Equality conducted an investigation into goat farms, markets and slaughter of goats in Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. It was shocking to see how goats were hit, dragged, pulled and pushed, crammed in cages and tethered with short ropes, stuffed onto motorbikes, auto rickshaws and tempos, and slaughtered at meat shops illegally. 

We, the undersigned, call upon you to please introduce the recommendations presented to you by Animal Equality, some of which are mentioned below:

  • Form a committee to monitor the welfare of goats.
  • Mishandling and mistreatment of goats to be strictly prohibited. 
  • Veterinary care to be made mandatory.
  • Slaughtering of goats without prior stunning to be strictly prohibited.
  • Slaughtering of goats in places other than licensed slaughterhouses to be strictly prohibited.

Inside India’s Goat Meat Industry: Cruelty and Illegal Practices Exposed

A groundbreaking investigation by Animal Equality has exposed widespread cruelty and blatant illegalities in the goat meat industry across Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar. The organization documented horrific conditions in 7 farms, 5 markets, and 4 slaughter facilities, revealing the appalling suffering inflicted on goats at every stage of their lives.

Brutal handling by workers – Goats were repeatedly hit, dragged, pulled, and pushed with no regard for their suffering.
Filthy and restrictive living conditions – Many goats were crammed into tiny cages or tethered with short ropes, severely limiting their movement.
No veterinary care – Some goats suffered from old, untreated injuries and illness, indicating severe neglect.
Deprivation at markets – Goats were found tied with short ropes, often without access to food, water, or shelter for long hours.
Dangerous and cruel transport – Some goats were stuffed onto bikes, while others were found dead upon arrival at markets.
Violations of transport laws – The Transport Rules of 1978 mandate that each goat should have 0.16 square meters of space, yet they were crammed into overcrowded tempos and trucks.
Gruesome slaughter methods – Their throats were slit while fully conscious, and their bodies were pumped with air to facilitate skinning.
Illegal slaughter operations – By law, animals must be slaughtered in licensed facilities, yet the investigation uncovered goats being killed illegally in meat shops and open markets.
