Would you have guessed that cows go truout india like people do? I know I wouldnt have. In india they hire cow catchers to get the cows. If there lucky they would get mabey 2 cows a day. But chaching a cow is easyer said then done, it takes skill to catch cows. i have to say if i live in africa i would be a cow catcher.

We read about cows that live in New Dheli, India. Most of them die by eating plastic bags and can't digest it in their five diferent stomaches! Some locals say its like a game when the cow catchers try to catch the animals. Everyone boos the cow catches when they roll up into the streets of New Dehli. There is an estimated 40,000 cows in the streets and freeways of New Dehli. Thats alot of cows!!!

Cows are very sacred animals in New Delhi. That is bad since the cows eat anything they see and that isn't good for them. Also, the people won't let the cow catchers go near them. The amazing part is the cow catchers get paid very little for working every day
I chose this article because the job is so interesting.

COWS!! They usually only live in fields and barns, right?Wrong!In New Delhi, India, sacred cows wander the streets, eating out of the stalls in the market and even stopping to rest in the middle of a busy intersection! But it seems, according to an article, that some people are going to try to put a stop to this. "Cow Catchers" patrol the streets in search of rogue cows. I was shocked, too! Some cows have even come torecognize the catchers truck! The catchers do this for the cows own safety. When the cows eat out of market stalls and garbage cans, they ingest plastic bags, metal, and all sorts of things along with the food.These bags may start to clog the stomach and intestines, blocking them and killing the cow. The catchers deliver the cows that they catch to a safe farm where they can live in peace,out of reach of the killing urban bags.

Cows. They are everywhere. At least in New Delhi, India. Cow Catchers are hired to capture cows and get them out of the unhealthy city. In the city, many 'sacred cows' run free, eating plastic bags out of garbage cans. The plastic bags are obviously not healthy at all for the cows, and it kills them. So the cow catchers find as many cows as they can and put them somewhere besides the city, where they can't be killed by eating garbage. But the cows have learned to recognize the cow catching trucks, so sometimes the cow catchers have to switch trucks. Smart cows!

Cows don't just live in barns and fields, they roam the streets of New Delhi, India! They think that the cows are "sacred"! The steer eat anything they find glass, cans, razor blades, anything in the dumpsters of the busy streets oh New Delhi. The cows worst enemy is the plastic bag if you believe it or not because they can't digest it and it begins to clog their stomach blocking them and killing a cow. According to the article some people are going to try to put a stop to Cow Catchers because they patrol the streets in try catch rogue cows that roam the streets. The cows are now even beginning to recognize their trucks pretty smart cows id say! What people don't realize why these people are trying to ketch these cows is for the cows safety! These cows stop in the middle of the road and get hit, killed, or really injured! So I hope you enjoyed reading my blog! please leave a comment! thanks bye!

In New Dehli, India cows wander around the streets and eat out of trash cans. Hardly Sacred, right? But here in New Dehli thats what they call cows. Sometimes the cows eat plastic bags and metal, which blocks up they're intestines and kills the cow. So thats where the Cow Catchers come in, the Cow Catchers job is to simply catch the cow, put him/her in they're truck. Easy, right? NO! This is not an easy job, it can take up to eight men to catch a street smart cow, and there is estimated 40,000 cows roaming the streets of New Dehli! Thats a lot of cows to catch! The Cow Catcher only recieve $ 119 per. month! Can you believe that? Some cows even start to reognize the Cow Catchers truck and run away when they see one. Little do the cows know that the Cow Catchers only want to take them to a farm, where they can be peaceful and get some healthy food for a change!

In New Delhi,India over 10,000 cows are allowed to roam the streets because of there sacred positions, and the only food source is garbage.Latley cows have been eating plastic garbage bags which doesn't have a good effect on the cows digestive track and can kill the cows.So they have hired over 100 'cow catchers' that are hired to catch the cows and set them free.But the cows don't look at it the same way they have reconized the truck and are stubern that are very hard to catch,some cows are so stubern that 8 men can't even get the cow in the truck.Even with the efforts cows are still roaming the streets eating plastic.

Cows don't just live in barns and fields and crops, they roam the streets of New Delhi, India. They think that the cows are "sacred". The steer eat anything they find glass, cans, razor blades, anything in the dumpsters (almost anything edible). Of the busy streets oh New Delhi. The cows worst enemy is the plastic bag if you believe it or not because they can't digest it and it begins to clog their stomachs blocking them and killing a cow slowly and painfuly. According to the article some people are going to try to put a stop to Cow Catchers because they patrol the streets in try catch rogue cows that roam the streets. The cows are now even beginning to recognize their trucks pretty smart cows id say! What people don't realize why these people are trying to ketch these cows is for the cows safety! These cows stop in the middle of the road and get hit, killed, or badly injured.blog! comment me back

I have learned that in India they have sacred cows. They pay people to capture cows on the street. The reason they have to pay people to do this is because the cows are streetsmart. They know their way around and how to survive. One major danger to them is plastic bags. It kills them because their stomachs cant digest them. They use cow patties for fertilizer, floors, use to cook, and much more. This is why cows are sacred in India.
