If there is any danger or harm by doing such business or eating it, just stop doing it- Islam teaches this! and this is the way of living..
who is bajrangi rowdy to catch and hold cattle transportation we have to protest against banjrangi goonda giri
If a Muslim transports his own cow from his udupi house to Mangalore house it will be considered illegal as per Indian law. If Sangh parivar activists intercept his vehicle while transporting, he has no other option but running away if he wants to survive.
People transport cattle illegally, because there is no option for non Bajrangees to transport them legally. It becomes legal when Bajrangees give them clean chit.
Dear CD please mention as Illigal transport .... Point to be noted, 1 Why Transport at Nights, point 2 why scorpio vehicale for animal tranport, Point 3, why did they run off, point 4, 12 cattle in one vehicale,
Islam absolutely forbids cheating and deception whether Muslims or non-Muslims are involved. The stern warnings of the Prophet of Mercy to those who cheat others.
