According to foreign media reports, cattle breeding groups in Gujarat, India put thousands of cattle into government buildings to protest because the government has not fulfilled its commitment to funding assistance for "cattle blocked skin disease". It is said that nearly 170,000 cows have been infected and 6,000 cows have died. In the past few days, nearly 1,750 cattle farms in the country have been accusing the government of the hope of making the government compromise by "fried cows".

In addition, some cattle farmers spread feed on the road and took the cows to the highway. In addition to the release of cows, hundreds of cattle farmers have shaved their heads and are planning to boycott the upcoming state elections. Some protesters even brought bags of cow dung and urine to government buildings.

"Since July, we have been protesting against this fatal outbreak. The government refused to help us, we lost thousands of cows, so we released all the cows." Cattle Raiser Solanki said in an interview. "The police tried to stop us, but we will come back tomorrow."

In India, most believe that cows are sacred. There are strict beef bans in 18 states in India, and violations can be imposed with huge fines and up to seven years in prison. Because slaughtering dairy cows is illegal in many places, these animals live in non-profit cow shelters. According to government estimates, 57,000 cows died in India this year due to "cowhide-like skin disease".

India's ruling BJP provides subsidies for the care of these cows. Since 2017, the Indian government has spent nearly $152 million to build shelters for cattle. In Gujarat, the government allocated $61 million this year to maintain shelters for dairy cows and other animals.

"In March this year, the government announced this budget, but it has been delaying." Solanki said, "Recently, we found that they did not even formulate regulations to implement it. Thousands of cows die every day, and we are ready to continue protesting until the government implements our demands."
