In Indian dairy industry, buffaloes produce more than half of total milk production. But bad luck buffalo you don't have a status of mother
India is the largest milk producer in the world followed by the USA. According to Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare total milk production increases from 51.33 Million Tonnes during 2016-17 to 53.77 Million Tonnes during 2017-18 .
Despite water buffalos fulfilling the skyrocketing demand of milk obsessed population of India, this poor animal is the most abused and neglected bovine in India. They have no respect at all wheres cow has a status of the mother in Hindu population. No organization, no religious people or so-called Gau Rakshak ( The group of people who claim they protect cow from slaughter) ever talk about protecting this animal.
The life of a water buffalo is completely in the hand of the dairy owners, animal traders, and slaughterhouses. No need to say they don't have their own life.
The painful journey of the life of a water buffalo starts just after taking birth.
It is a standard practice in dairy farms that male calves are left to starve in front of their mothers because they do not bring in any profit
Female calves are separated from their mothers just a few days after birth and are often fed with substitute milk
Starved male calves collected to send slaughterhouse for leather. Hardly any male calf becomes adult male buffalo. Only a few reach to their adulthood and, adult buffalo abused to produce sperm for artificial insemination of female buffalos.
This Million Dollar Bull(Male Buffalo) Is The Father of 150,000 Calves | Semen is worth $3,000
Water Buffalos spent their whole in a small and filthy space. As the name only says they like to go into the water but, in their whole life hardly they get chance to go into the water. Specially in urban dairy farms there is no access to ponds for these buffalos.
Thousands of buffalo lie dead in a field after being sacrificed for a religious holiday in near the Indian border in Nepal
After 8-10 years when female buffalos unable to produce a profitable amount of milk, they become a liability to the dairy owners and to get rid of these unprofitable milking machines, they sell them to slaughterhouses.
As there is no restriction for slaughtering a buffalo and, nobody cares this animal they end their lives in slaughterhouses. 99% of female buffalo ends their life in slaughterhouses.
Due to this large amount of milk production in India, India is a no 1 beef exporter in the world. So there is a clear relation between milk and meat production but, it is never accepted by hardcore milk consumers of India.
India is a land of Lord Mahavira, Buddha, and Mahatma Gandhi, India gave the principle of Ahinsa (non-violence) to the world but when animals also have become a commodity used in the industry to earn the profit then government also keep mum for the sake of revenue and increasing employment and principles are in the text only!
this is a fantastic post about buffalo abuse and death. if you look into the dairy industry all around the world you would find exact same situation.
this truly breaks my heart. But I'm hoping this post can spread some awareness.
the photo of Starved male calves collected to send slaughterhouse for leather -is truly heart breaking.
Thank you for this post
Oh my god!! what unconsciousness, I do not know what is happening with humanity
The entire animal industry has pushed towards becoming vegan. Especially in the United States it is horrible. Thank you for spreading this information, maybe more people will think about what they eat.
It is cruel
Oh no this is so sad :( they are such majestic creatures. This needs to stop
excellent story It made me very sad to see the dead buffaloes
very nice cow
What are they doing sacrificing those buffaloes? I hate to say it but how low human can go?
They kill innocent buffaloes to please their god!
The buffaloes are very beautiful and noble animals. Us milk is very good and the cheese is spectacular. The history of buffaloes (bufalo babies) is very sad. The million dollar buffalo with its 150000 offspring and the cost of its semen is impressive.
Of course, milk is good but for babies of their mothers and not for whole society. As I written in post if milk demand increase buffalo babies will suffer always. How can one show mercy on animals while advocating the use of animal milk for the human being, at the same time?
Other information that I did not know is that India is the second producer of milk after the United States. Could you tell me if India exports milk powder?
I have family in Venezuela that are producers of buffalo cheese, and it is a very healthy product as well as their milk. I always consume those cheeses. I also read that in Europe you get mainly mozzarella cheese from buffalo milk.
The people who enjoy and consume cheese are responsible for inflicting sufferings on innocent dairy animals.
mozzarella cheese is made out of buffalo milk, wouldn't be mozzarella otherwise sorry to say that cheese is not a healthy product at all and the production of milk and cheese ( all dairy products) only brings suffering and death among the animals that are being slave.
Wow... This is crazy, I never knew that people even milked these animals, let alone had massive religious sacrifices. Good post!
Nicely reveal the truth of buffalo
It is very sad. This also happens with the animal as well. The buffalo gave a very good information.
