New Gokul- Cow protection centre


Now here's a good cause that needs to be passed on to animal lovers and Vaishnavas alike. New Gokul is possibly the only place in the UK that cows and bulls are treated as the sacred animals they are. In the UK more than 3 million cows and bulls are killed every year, and their lives previous to being slaughtered are appalling. Nearly all young bulls are killed in the first couple of years, as naive farmers do not see the value of these strong animals.

As the Hare Krishna temple has over 60 acres of pastures they plan to increase the herd from 33 to 60 animals. The cows have a dairy and milking parlour with pens close by for the calves who suckle their mothers. New Gokul needs more funding as the cows and bulls need much larger pens, the bulls need their own Ox Power House with a permanent treadmill and machinery and also new facilites must allow visitors to see all the aspects of a working goshalla safely.

New Gokul will practically demonstrate how to care for cows and bulls, show how to treat them so that they are happy and how how important all their gifts are to society. If you want to spend your money on something worthwhile donate to this worthy cause.
