Dear Maharajas, Devotees and Matajis:
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All Glory to Srila Prabhupada.
Is very painful for us to give you today news about this situation, but the Mexico's GBC (HH Guru Prasad Svami) didn't give any help to this embarrassing issue, despite since five years ago Uddharana Prabhu (ACBSP) personally ask for his help.
In the early 1980 (aprox.) was coming some cows and oxes from Gita-nagari farm directly to the new ISKCON farm near Tulancingo City, (at 3h. of Mexico City). Unfortunately in the year 1988 the farm was closed and the property selled, all the cows and oxes become homeless and nobody want to have responsibility with them.
Uddharana Prabhu mercifuly took seven at his charge since the same 1988 year, he maintain the cows and oxes with his income from vegetarian restaurant opened by him in Orizaba City (at 1:30 h. from Veracruz City/Port), The place where the cows and oxes is ubicated has only 3.7 acres (1.5 hectareas), too small for, but this is the best place that Uddharana Prabhu can get.
Since five years ago Uddharana Prabhu slowly begin to have economical difficulties to maintain the cows and oxes, since that time he asked each year personally for help to HH Guru Prasad Svami without receiving any response about. One year ago the situation becomes very difficult, the restaurant income wasn't enough to maintain the cows and oxes and Uddharana Prabhu begun to be indebted, in March 2002 Uddharana Prabhu talk again with HH Guru Prasad Svami, at this time asking for urgent help, but GPS didn't give a penny, from that time and until today GPS don't organize any colect to help to maintain the cows and oxes.
Due to Uddharana Prabhu's debits contracted for maintain the cows and oxes he was obliged to close his restaurant, because he prefer to give to eat (each time lower amount) to the cows and oxes over pay their bills.
Today the cows and oxes are near to death by starvation, they are 8 cows, 8 oxes and 2 calfs, all at high risk to death, also Uddharana Prabhu are continuously beset by non devotees wanting to buy them (obviously to be eated).
The daily need for the cows and oxes survive is $50.00 US ($1500.00 US montly). The restaurant has been closed and Uddharana Prabhu is 52 y/o, he is sick and today his weight is 33 pounds (15 kg) lower his normal weight.
We're looking for devotees that want to take them to another farms or want to help to maintain these cows and oxes, they have in Krishna Consciousness more than 10 years. Actually the cows and oxes lived at 1:30 hrs from the Veracruz City/Port, for this reason can be easy their shipping to the Atlantic Ocean, but due to their condition maybe they can't resist a travel.
Now in our New Vrindaban, we see how the cows are happy, how they are dealing. They are not afraid. This is our duty, to keep the cows happy. Just like I want to see my wife and children happy, similarly, it is the duty of the human society to see that the cows feeling very happy. This is human civilization. Otherwise it is tiger civilization, meat-eaters. Meat is not eaten by human being. It is eaten by the dogs, by the tigers, by the animals. SP Lecture - November 25, 1973
Finally, please remember that only with good desires the cows and oxes can't eat.
