Murky Politics: Readers React to The Quint’s Cow Smuggling Reports

We bring you some interesting comments of our readers on the investigative report The Real ‘Cow Boys’ of Haryana.

The Quint’s investigative reports The Real ‘Cow Boys’ of Haryana, published in two parts on 12 September and 16 September, compelled readers to ponder and comment on social media about the new cow protection law and the cow smuggling in Haryana. We have curated a few interesting comments to show what our readers think about it.

As a journalist, I have reported the ground reality, versions of different people, starting from cow smugglers to gau rakshak and farmers. Most readers have condemned the new cow protection law of the Haryana government and have endorsed that ‘cows’ are used for politics rather for the welfare of humans or animals.

Questions Are Raised.....

Some Commented on the New Cow Protection Law in Haryana

@TheQuint @poonamjourno Smuggling as a vocation has traditionally been a secular activity in India.

@poonamjourno @TheQuint true..poor farmers can't afford the non productive cows...hope that cowdung and urine can be sold for good prices
