A veterinary hospital in Parel is providing death certificates for cows after conducting post-mortems. To prevent illegal slaughter and sale of beef, the police have kept strict vigil on the transport of dead cattle, often leading to the harassment of cow owners while transporting carcasses for their last rights, also in the case of death by natural causes. The Bai Sakerbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals has decided to address this social challenge.
The Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals comes across 2-3 such cases in a week. Generally, the post-mortem is conducted and the bodies are released after providing the autopsy report. But henceforth, the owner would also be given a death certificate in natural deaths.
