Cows in Distress: Tied, Soaked, and Neglected

TODAY, I witnessed a distressing sight -- three cows simply tied to trees in front of a government office, just near the street road. As the rain poured down, these helpless animals stood shivering without any shelter. There was no rooftop to protect them from the harsh weather, leaving them exposed to the cold and wet conditions. The question arises: why are these cows left in such a public space? Are they owned by someone nearby, or have they been abandoned? If they have an owner, it is deeply irresponsible not to provide them with proper care in a cowherd or a protected shelter.

The situation is not only cruel to the animals but also poses a significant health hazard to the people around. The ground beneath the cows is covered in cow dung, attracting flies and insects that can spread diseases. Such unhygienic conditions are unacceptable in a public area, especially near a government office. The concerned authorities must take immediate action to rescue these cows before they suffer from cold or even die due to neglect. If they fail to act, the responsibility for any unfortunate outcome will rest on both the authorities and the local community. The attached photographs serve as clear evidence of the urgency of this matter.
