We call on the citizens of Odisha to join our effort to amend the Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act, 1960. It's crucial to understand that cow slaughter not only has moral implications but also encourages illicit smuggling and illegal trafficking activities. A stronger version of the act, drafted with the expertise of a highly competent advocate, aims to deter such activities by imposing stiffer punishments and financial fines on convicts. We believe such measures will significantly hinder the potential for abuse and encourage adherence to the law.

We seek to involve people from every constituency in our signature campaign to voice their support for this amendment. The signed petitions will be handed to the local MLA, urging them to champion this cause in the winter session of the assembly. Their action will go a long way in making the act more robust and effective.

Approximately 1.7 million cases of cattle smuggling have been reported in the past five years across India (Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs statistics, 2016-2021), making this a nationwide issue that requires immediate attention, and Odisha is no exception.

By signing this petition, you will not only contribute to the prevention of cow slaughter but also make a stand against illegal trafficking and illicit activities detrimental to our community and nation. Be part of the solution. Sign the petition today.
