India's overpopulation of stray cattle: They can't eat the cows and they can't feed the cows

India respects cows like no other country. There is even an emergency medical service for them. New Dheli had a population of 15 million people and more than 40,000 stray cattle as of 2006. This has led to numerous road accidents. The Sanjay Gandhi Animal Care Centre is the city's most famous vet clinic. They fight an endless battle against the ever-growing metropolis: residents tend to keep cows as long as they produce milk. Once the cows stop producing, they are often left to graze freely or are abandoned, contributing to the stray cattle overpopulation. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:50 - The Hospital for Holy Cows ▷ 27:45 - Credits ------- ------- Original title: The Hospital for Holy Cows Directed by Nadja Maki © 2006, Licensed by Vidicom ------- Documentaries about politics, society and science produced by leading studios around the world.

Japan attacks the USA on 7 Dec 1941. For the next 6 months, they continue to have successful attacks. However, by the end of the battle for Guadalcanal in Feb 1943, they are completely on the defensive. Italy's failed attacks in the Mediterranean region draw in the Germans. Allies turn the tide in the Atlantic, where initially German U-Boats harass freely convoys to supply Britain. The Kriegsmarine calls off their submarines. The route to bring American soldiers who will land on D-Day is clear. Their attack on the Soviet Union having failed, the German Army suffers a series of counter-offensives on the Eastern Front. Hitler's constant orders to stand ground backfire, and the Wehrmacht's losses are huge as the Soviets advance West.
