INDIA-ANIMAL-COW-RELIGION

In this photograph taken on April 24, 2017, a statue of the Hindu god Lord Krishna is seen at a cow shelter in the Indian capital New Delhi. India could issue millions of cows with unique identification numbers, the latest effort to protect the sacred animals amid a spike in violence by Hindu vigilantes against farmers accused of cattle smuggling. The government has told the Supreme Court that millions of cows will be tagged with a tamper-proof plastic tag linked to a national database in a bid to curb smuggling within India and beyond its borders. / AFP PHOTO / MONEY SHARMA (Photo credit should read MONEY SHARMA/AFP via Getty Images)
