AFFCAP has developed in reaction to some goshallas falling short in their cow protection responsibilities. Some have gone so far as to allow animals to meet their end on a killing floor, or to pass away neglected on the street. <\/p>\n
India is the world’s largest exporter of meat and ranks first in world leather production. As such, AFFCAP’s purpose is to ensure that no ‘protected’ cows, bulls, oxen or calves, from a cow protection goshalla, will meet such an horrific end. <\/p>\n
As a result, AFFCAP’s inspection and certification program is designed to provide standardization of goshalla programs throughout India — with a goal of providing assurance to the public-at-large — that the inspected goshallas are indeed dedicated to the animals’ lifetime protection.<\/p>\n
