Well let's stay focused here. Yes the cow dung and cow urine things are pretty silly. But this kid is being given life in prison for attempting to kill a food animal. They don't kill animals.

I know more than a couple young people in US cities, struggling to pay their rent who have started gofundme pages or gone into debt to pay for their 3rd cat's kidney surgery. My nextdoor neighbor paid for 2 cancer surgeries for her 13 year old dog. He had chemo to the point where they installed a port.

Respect for animal life takes many forms. Let's not go calling people we disagree with stupid.

This judge is handing down life in prison for transporting a cow with the intent to kill it. Mutilating or killing an animal in the US generally carry’s a charge of like a year in prison.

Attempted murder of another human being has a charge of up to ten years under Indian law, so arguably this is a charge more severe than if there had been humans being transported.

That's very hard in your case.

You have just defended a LIFE SENTENCE for cow smuggling.

WTF?
