When the sale takes place this fair is normally meant for farmers. However, in recent
 years they have become exclusively devoted for providing animals to butchers.

This is illegal. In order to prevent this from happening local administration should make sure that no trucks are allowed near the fair and that no cattle is put inside trucks and no buyer can buy more than two animals. The Municipality has a special role to play in animal
protection.

The Local authority of the place where the ‘Haat’ or fair is held should check that there is the proper maintenance of animals by their owners. The municipality must allocate sufficient funds for the proper cleaning, feeding, housing and treatment of these animals.

The money earned from their auction and release, must be spent on the care of these animals. Wherever possible, it should involve local NGOs/AWO in the running of
these Pounds.

When cattle are auctioned, the buyer must specify for what purpose he is
buying the animal and that should be verified to avert cow slaughter, which is a criminal
offence.
