Stepping off the edge

Cows are sacred in India. No one eats beef and pork isn’t on the menu. When there is meat in restaurants it’s chicken and fish.

As you’ve seen in my blogs, cows are all over the place. Traffic routes around them and honking is useless, they don’t move unless they want to.

They are out in the day grazing on roads and highways! At night they go home to their owners.

Stray dogs are everywhere, on the road, train platforms, mostly sleeping. They seem pretty happy to be free to wander. We’ve only seen a couple of dogs on a leash and they looked unhappy and envious of the other dogs! People feed them so as you can see from the photos, they are healthy. They don’t beg for food.

In the shade of a store awning. Sweet dreams!
