It’s truly disheartening to see cattle roaming and staying on Goan roads. Many cattle and people have lost their lives, yet the Goa government and CM Sawant only make big promises without taking any real action for the safety of the public and animals. It’s unclear why the owners of cows and oxen aren’t taking responsibility to protect them. Some call cows sacred, so why are they left to wander the streets, facing accidents and eating plastic and rubbish?
Why aren’t the Gau Rakshaks taking proper care of these street cattle by providing shelter and food? Many of the cattle are dark-coloured, making them hard to see at night, which leads to accidents that can cause serious injuries or even deaths for both humans and animals. The Goa government should take this problem seriously and address these issues that people have faced for years. Road safety must come first because it’s a matter of life and death.
