It has everything to do with farming. Indian states can't cull cattle by slaughter but produce an immense amount of milk and have female productive cows having a male calf roughly every 36 months(really less than that, but we'll be conservative). Where the hell do you think these male calves are going if they can't be slaughtered or killed? They're largely "naturally" removed by starvation and dehydration. Real humane. They're certainly not all ending up in sanctuaries. Same with the majority of unproductive female cattle. With a productive cow producing a calf roughly every year over their four to five year production period and the natural lifespan being around 20 years there's a mathematical problem here that results in starving urban cattle. That or we entirely replace India's human population with cattle.
