Cows provide approx 100 million tonnes of dry dung a year costing Rs 5000 crores which saves 50 million tonnes of firewood which again means that many trees saved and more environmental damage prevented. It is calculated that if these 73 million animals were to be replaced, we would need 7.3 million tractors at the cost of 2.5 lac each which would amount to an investment of 180,000 crores. In addition 2 crore, 37 lakh and 50 thousand tonnes of diesel which would mean another 57,000 crore rupees. This is how much we owe these animals, and this is what we stand to lose by killing them. – Maneka Gandhi
Unless we change our food choices, nothing else matters. Because it is meat that is destroying most of our forests. It is meat that pollutes the waters. It is meat that is creating disease which leads to all our money being diverted to hospitals. So, it’s the first choice for anybody who wants to save the Earth. – Maneka Gandhi
The skin of a python is no less precious to the snake than fur is to the fox. – Maneka Gandhi
You have 2,000 girls who are killed in the womb every day. Some are born and have pillows on their faces choking them. – Maneka Gandhi
I enjoy art without a sense [that] this has to belong to me. I collect it because otherwise kahan jayega, rul jayega (it will get wasted). I sell it because for me, treating animals is more important than having something on the wall. And I enjoy both parts of it; they are both based on love. – Maneka Gandhi
