The thieves or bandits not only wipe out human beings but also animals; they also sell the animals. Security has become a festering wound in this country. It is a serious issue in this country. In crop farming when you lose your crop in one season, the next season you can plant; but with livestock farming, if lose your animals where are you going to get other animals from?. How are you going to start life? How are you going to live? I think the Government must either provide this insurance or create a welfare state, where every person who has no source of earning a living is provided with necessities by Government. Short of that, people suffer a lot; there is poverty and people have nothing to eat. We will have insecurity and there is no way the Government can stop insecurity when there are big inequalities."}
