Chicken

Two days back we all have enjoyed Diwali religiously by offering pooja to Lord Hanuman in Nuggikeri, Dharwad. I was accompanied by Mr. Naveen Laxmipathy, an Indicorp Fellow. Nuggikeri is just 3 kilometers away from the Dharwad city. So we went by bike. Throughout our way to the place, we have seen that the buffaloes, sheep and dogs were also going like passengers; crossing the road, causing traffic jam. It was surprised to see all these things. While sitting at home after coming back, he shared an interesting thing (for me) that in US, cities are totally distinguished from rural areas. No one can find cows, buffaloes or hens on the street or roads.
Another point is that chicken, beef or meat of any kind is sold in the open market here. It is called as mutton market. If you see that you will not eat them once in your whole life. While in US people get only the finished meat products. They are left out, not aware of how it is processed. They get only well packed, preserved and ready to eat or use food or any other stuff.
I am sharing it because the 1857 riot was due to several reasons but religious reason was also one among them. British military personals were using fat of pigs and cows in guns. This message spread like anything and Indians started mutiny against British. The rest is history.
Similarly how chicken or meat is produced by brutally killing animals is known to all customers, then we may stop killing them.
Is that right to keep the final users in dark?
