The move, he added, came after 76 stray cattle from Calangute Village, who have now been sent to a gaushala (cow shed), refused to eat gram or other vegetarian food. The cattle had turned non-vegetarian cattle here. Due to the consumption of such non-vegetarian food, their system has become like that of humans. They would smell non-vegetarian food and move on, but now, they eat only non-vegetarian (food),” he said. Lobo also said that the stray cattle have been shifted to the gaushalas following complaints that the animals are the main cause of accidents of two-wheelers and traffic.
