A very cruel and brutal video has surfaced from Vaishali in Bihar, where a Nilgai was BURIED ALIVE!
Video of this shameful incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media. The government is to blame here, as it has declared nilgai to be vermin and allowed them to be culled in order to protect farmers' crops even though there are other options at hand, such as installing fences.
The forest department of Vaishali district has claimed to have killed over 300 Nilgai in the last 4 days, but the picture of the Nilgai dying in the Goraul of Vaishali by the Forest Department is extremely cruel. Here, the surviving Nilgai is being buried alive after pushing a living Nilgai from the JCB machine into the pit. Killing Nilgai is an important step for the protection of farmers' crops, but the department's way of killing Nilgai is very cold.
The provision is that after shooting Nilgai to be buried after assuring his death, the matter of burying many Nilgai alive has come to light by the employees of the forest department.
While the forest department has assured that action will be taken, as is so often in India, rules are all never upheld.
If enough voices can be raised however, the forest department can be pressured to do something about this, and hopefully make the government rethink their measures and come up with a less cruel alternative than senseless killing.
