“Cow Should Be Declared National Animal; No Fundamental Right To Eat Beef”: Allahabad HC

Allahabad : The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday, September 1, said that the cow should be declared the national animal of India, and cow protection should be made a fundamental right of the Hindu community.

The court made the remarks, along with a string of other observations, highlighting the religious and cultural significance of cows and the need for cow protection, while denying bail to Javed, a 59-year-old man from Sambhal, who has been in custody since March on charges of allegedly stealing a cow and slaughtering it with his associates.

The court denied Javed bail, claiming that granting bail would ‘disturb’ society’s overall harmony.
