Indian gov’t says hug cows on Valentine’s Day,

 Animal welfare department appeals to mark February 14 this year not as a celebration of romance but as ‘Cow Hug Day’ to promote Hindu values.

An appeal by India’s animal welfare department asking citizens to mark Valentine’s Day this year not as a celebration of romance but as “Cow Hug Day” to better promote Hindu values has been ridiculed on social media.

In a statement, the Animal Welfare Board of India on Wednesday said “hugging cows will bring emotional richness and increase individual and collective happiness”.
