Plastic eats away at city's cattle
Pune, October 9: Cows feasting on the city's garbage, aren't a rare
sight? According to animal activists most of these cows are owned
and let loose in the streets, in a bid to save money on fodder. "Cows
often eat the plastic bag, in which they find food", said Vallirani.
who is member of Cats and Brats, an organisation that deals with
animal sensitimtion. The intake of plastic harms the cow's digestive
system. The plastic bags are collected in their stomach or the
intestine. This causes the cattle to die of impaction or starvation,
he added. "The life span of cows has gone down to five to six years
from 20 years. Plastic harms the milk quality, which in turn affects
our health," said Pune Federation of Animal protection
Organisation's Coordinator Darshana Mujumdar.

A central feature of caste discrimination is the so-called “untouchability practices”. It stems from the notion that different caste groups have varying degrees of purity and pollution, with Dalits and other caste-affected groups being so impure that they can pollute other groups
