The Shiva Parvati Gaushala in Aane Gaon that was inaugurated by our founder, Darshana Muzumdar, initially stated that they had joined us by taking the decision of no longer milking the cows they rescue. They said they understood very well that denying calves their birthright to mother’s milk is a violation of both the mother and child’s fundamental rights and that they intended to only look after the rescued animals and provide them with care and a better life.
However, we later learnt that they had started artificial insemination of young cows and were selling the milk they got from these cows. As they increased the number of cows in the shed, they found it more and more difficult to find funds to feed and look after the animals. In 2024, another gaushala learnt about the sad state the animals were in and took all the animals away to add to their own herd. Sadly, the animals in that gaushala are also being exploited for milk though no artificial insemination is done there.
