I was going for my walk at MET Cricket grounds and I spoke to a few butchers , they were unhappy that business is drastically low,today being a Saturday normally a busy day for shoppers there was just one customer buying buffalo meat ..
The butcher I talked to said that people in Uttar Pradesh mostly ate buffalo meat , but here in Mumbai after eating beef for several years ..it will take take a lot of time for them to cultivate the taste of buffalo meat .. even hoteliers restaurants were not ordering buffalo meat .
This has hit the beef butchers very hard ,,most of them are suffering large scale losses they told me..Even the Christians who love beef and use it in many of their favorite dishes are avoiding buffalo meat ..He seemed disturbed perplexed even the beef butchers that did roaring business in the Slaughter House Bandra Compound have given their beef shops on rent to Mutton sellers ,, they could not bear the losses ..
And this is not about politicizing the beef ban but it is about the livelihood of these butchers and shop keepers ..Buffalo Meat finds no takers in Bandra ..
