Cows in India

Do they milk the stray cow in india? I keep on wondering also as there are so many stray cow in india. So do those people who are poor just drink the cow milk when they are hungry? I have no idea.

In a government-run shelter in India's capital, New Delhi, cows are undergoing what may seem a strange procedure, they are being forced to swallow microchips which remain permanently in one of their four stomachs. With the use of special scanners, municipal workers can read the numbered microchips, identifying the cows and their owners. At least each cow can be identified in a way. But they swallow it, how to remain permanently?

United Nations health experts say about 50 percent of India's milk supply is sold informally, without any processing or pasteurization. If a cow has been eating garbage, this can lead to health problems for consumers, and a subsequent drain on health services. At the thought of this, how would I dare to drink milk in india! Lucky I didnt drink any milk when I was there only drink Chay (Tea).
