India is a very magical country, and many seemingly absurd things, if they happen in India, seem to be a normal thing.
For example, this cow, who would have thought that this was a cow worth as much as 240 million rupees, equivalent to 21 million yuan?
Its name is Sultan, which can be called the "sacred cow" of India, and every day it lives a luxurious life that many ordinary people are estimated to be unable to live in this life, and the treatment is higher than that of people!
Although 80% of Indians worship cows like gods, regard cow dung and cow urine as a "panacea", and believe that they can cure all diseases, from a scientific point of view, these are unfounded.
In addition to naming cattle, Indians will also weave wreaths for them, set up nursing homes, etc., and allow cattle to roam freely through the market, without the slightest fear that they will suddenly go crazy and hurt people.
But of all the cattle, the sultan was the noblest. So, how luxurious is Sudan's daily routine? Why is it so valuable?
Worth 21 million yuan, how luxurious is the life of the "sacred cow"?
Sultan has the meaning of "king" in India, and calling a cow "Sultan" means that the cow is the big brother of the cattle world.
Born in Haryana, the Sultan does nothing every day but is busier than anyone else. As the king of the cattle world, it needs to "meet" people from all over the world and accept their "pilgrimage" in the cattle farm, which is also its "obligation and responsibility" to sit in a high position.
In order to be able to take better care of the Sultan, the cattle farm has found professional breeders and nannies for it, who are responsible for taking care of its daily life, which is probably one of the main reasons why it can be glorious and physically strong.
The keeper has only one task a day: to take care of the sudan's daily life, such as bathing it, repelling mosquitoes, decorating it, and ensuring its normal diet.
Ordinary cattle usually eat grass, but Sudan is different, people are noble cattle, eat not only in quantity, but also to ensure balanced nutrition, flesh, eggs and milk, before going to bed to a glass of whiskey to brew drowsiness.
A breeder who has taken care of Sudan said that the treatment of Sudan should be the same as the treatment of the elderly, be patient and meticulous, can not give it cold or spoiled things, leftover food is not OK, it needs to eat fresh and nutritious food, let alone give it what it does not like to eat;
Every day, it is necessary to clean the cowshed, take it out for a walk and exercise, enhance its physique, and let a special nanny take care of it before going to bed, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
According to incomplete statistics, Sudan has to eat about 200 kilograms of food in one meal, including 20 kilograms of apples, 120 kilograms of carrots, more than 60 kilograms of grains and vegetables, which cost about 400 yuan a day, which is higher than the daily consumption of many ordinary people!
Such a life, I believe that many people can't help but stomp their feet after watching it, the life of a cow is more comfortable than people, I really don't know whether there is a problem with the cow or a problem with people.
So why does the Sultan enjoy this "supreme" level of treatment? What the hell has it done?
Why is Sudan worth more than 100 million?
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the Indian nation, said: "The cow is the mother of millions of people in India." The ancient sages, whoever they were, came from cattle. ”
Therefore, the status of cattle in India is naturally higher than that of animals such as cats and dogs, most people believe in tumor cattle and cows, and the reason why Sudan can become the best among cattle is related to its glorious history.
From the point of view of blood, the blood of the Sultan is very pure, the height is as high as 1.8 meters, taller than many people, the body length is 4.3 meters, about a third higher than a floor! Moreover, it weighs 1.5 tons, which is twice as tall as the average cow.
Not only is it large, its hair is dark and bright, but its muscles are evenly distributed and strong, and it looks majestic and beautiful.
Good-looking things are flattering, and the sultan has surpassed many ordinary cattle in terms of blood and appearance.
If you think that the Sultan wins by appearance, it is very wrong, people rely on strength to "get to the top"!
Thanks to this strong muscle and strong physique, the Sultan has won many championships in many competitions, not only for himself, but also for the master to win the prize money, who will not love the cattle that will make money?
Moreover, as Sudan wins more and more competitions, its popularity is getting higher and higher, and its value naturally rises, reaching 240 million rupees, which is not unusual, just like in the Spanish bullfight, the winning bulls are also rewarded, but not as exaggerated as India.
In addition to receiving prize money for the owner in the competition, it can earn money for the owner even if he stays in the cowshed.
Pure blood and strong physique, this is a perfect "cow breed", so every day people line up to bring their own cows to the Sultan to breed, the purpose is to be able to let their own cows give birth to a cow as strong as the Sudan, so that they can once and for all.
Sudanese breeding is not a public welfare, but a transaction, with a seed to collect 50,000 yuan, but even if the cost is so high, people who lead cows to the door to find Sudan are still endless.
According to incomplete statistics, Sudan can earn up to a million dollars a year just by breeding, so eating 400 yuan of food a day is really not a big expense.
Such a good cow naturally deserves the highest treatment. However, there are still many people in India who do not have enough to eat, and the treatment of a cow is so high, it is inevitable that people will have some psychological discomfort.
What do you think about that?
