<b>Slaughtering of pregnant cow, owner says he was âcheatedâ</b>Sunday October 15 2006 11:00 IST
MALAPPURAM: The owner of âDaily Marketâ slaughterhouse, Anhikkadan Saifudeen, said here on Saturday that he was not aware of the fact that the cow slaughtered the other day was carrying.
Saifudeen said that he was cheated by the owner of the cow and that he was not informed that the cow was pregnant.
<b>The slaughtering of a pregnant cow had caused widespread protest among the residents of Malappuram municipality and they had disposed the dead calf in public to protest against the action of the slaughterhouse.</b>
<b>The authorities had cancelled the licence of the stall near Hajiar Palli following public protest.</b>
âWe bought the cow from Mylappuram. The doctor, Nasar from Makkaraparamb, who inspected the cow found nothing wrong in its health condition. He did not inform me about its pregnancy either. We slaughtered the cow as we were not aware that the cow was carrying. We had sold only a portion of the meat to the public and the rest was disposed,â he said.
âWe are paying seven rupees per animal to the municipality. But it is not taking enough steps to remove the wastes on a daily basis,â he added.
Authorities cancel the licence of the meat stall. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
