"Dairy industry exposes India’s cattle protection contradiction"
An interesting story:
<🐮>
Cow protection and dairy industry: Cows have long stood at the centre of the nation’s religious and political conflicts. In the name of Hindu sentiment, cow protection has often been used against Dalits and Muslims through vigilante violence, mob lynching, and legal harassment over alleged beef consumption. It has served less as animal welfare than as a tool of communal power.
This year, ahead of Eid al-Adha, something unexpected happened. Several Muslim community organisations voluntarily announced they would not slaughter cows during the festival and urged a complete national ban on cow slaughter. Islamic practices as observed neither prohibit cow sacrifice nor beef consumption. The gesture is explicitly political and shows an attempt to defuse tension and demonstrate goodwill.

Thanks to @Sentientism for pointing it out.

Optimizing Pancakes from Chemical Principles

Environment Southland produced a major report on nitrate pollution in Southland’s groundwater which showed worsening levels at most sites they monitor. The report blames "intensive farming, notably dairying and winter grazing of dairy cattle."
ES sent copies in advance to Fonterra, dairy giant Open Country and DiaryNZ. ES refer to these groups as "stakeholders". Then they tried to bury the report without making any fuss, bunging it in an online portal with no press release.
Luckily, the ODT found it.
Despite nitrate pollution being a major public health issue, ES didn't alert either Te Whatu Ora (Health NZ) or WellSouth because "they did not have any contacts."
Clumsy cover-up... meet gross incompetence.
As @phil_stevens said earlier, Environment Southland is the poster child for regulatory capture in NZ.
