The Plastic Cow They are injected with hormones to increase production of milk. Their calves separated at birth so that the entire milk produced can be sold, without understanding the pain of this all-giving mother. They are left scrounging for food at garbage dumps where they ingest plastic wastes and succumb to a painful death. What most people do not know is that these gentle bovines, have a very complicated digestive system, and with continued ingestion of plastic over a period of time, it gets trapped in their stomachs forever with no scope for excretion or digestion, therefore getting entangled with different materials inside and turning hard, like cement in their rumens (the first belly of the cow). This is a Plastic Cow and it is sentenced to a slow, gruelling death. Infact many NGOs have reported that surgeries on such cows that have been brought in on some occasions, have removed over 30-40 kgs of plastic from their bellies in addition to iron mesh, stones, sand, condoms, chicken bones, egg shells, hair balls, cloth pieces etc. In #Dhyanfoundation we have received cases of cows stuffed with plastic who became pregnant. The fetus was not able to grow inside due to excessive plastic and it ended up with both the baby and mother dying. Here is a link of a video recorded by one of our volunteers of a postmortem of a cow.The Postmortem reveals over 50 kgs of plastics inside the cow. Ignorance is not bliss and its time each one of us faces the reality of the world and tries to make it better. https://youtube/watch?v=oAH2w6ygTsQ
