Around 700 goats ‘saved’ by Jains during Bakrid are living in luxury at a Baghpat shelter dedicated to them. ‘This kind of life is not possible for many people in this country.’
Delhi’s Jain community raised Rs 15 lakh and then went to Old Delhi markets posing as Muslims. They bargained hard, bought 124 goats, and have kept them at the now-famous temple in Chandni Chowk.

The Jain answer to Hindu ‘gaushalas’. Good. We need more of these initiatives. Such shelters can be monetized as tourist attractions, and for educational purposes to sensitize children to animal rights and the need for better ethical treatment of animals, including embracing vegetarianism. They can also create excellent volunteering opportunities for youth, and charitable giving opportunities for adults. Plenty of similar projects exist in the West.
And hopefully, the presence of practice of such shelters will encourage the Muslim community to become more thoughtful and progressive in its practices, perhaps even embracing vegetarianism over time.
how long will these goats be alive? they’re not immortal and surely in a few yrs they’ll die… what will the jains do then? interfering into other religion’s affairs is a sin and jains have forgot this!! can these same jains stop bali or sacrifice of animals in hinduism itself? each day so much of chicken is sought after for meals…export of goat, sheep, veal… can they stop all this? it clearly shows they’re only communal minded and nothing else… instead of animals, they should work more towards the stopping of human killings as humans are more worthy than animals… isn’t it?

Meanwhile human beings lead much worse lives probably meters from this shelter. The hypocrisy is staggering.
