'If you want to keep a cow and do business you can keep it in your compound or your home, but not tie them up at public places.' Taking up this problem by its horns, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is planning to take action against all those who illegally tie cows to the footpaths and turn it into a business. The civic body has proposed to increase the penalty for tethering cows, bulls and horses to poles on roads and footpaths to Rs 10,000 from Rs 2,500. The proposal follows a request by Matunga corporator Nehal Shah, who said that at various places -- temples, footpaths and roadside corners -- cows are tied up to poles and passers-by pay owners to feed the animal. Speaking to Syed Firdaus Ashraf/Rediff.com, she says that tying up animals on the streets is tantamount to cruelty and that the steep fines will act as a deterrent.
