The Government of India should immediately ban the killing of the following animals as they are the vahanas ( sawaris ) of Hindu gods, and therefore killing them hurts Hindu sentiments : Mouse ( vahana of Ganesh ), buffalo ( vahana of Yamraj ), dog ( vahana of Bhairav ), parrot ( vahana of Kamadev ), owl ( vahana of Lakshmi ), antelope ( vahana of Vayu ), cat ( vahana of shashthi ), donkey ( vahana of Shitala ), crow and vulture ( vahana of shani ), goat ( vahana of Pushan ), snake ( vahana of Kamakhya ), camel ( vahana of Dasha Ma ), crocodile ( vahana of Ganga ), and bull ( Nandi, vahana of Shiva )
Om Namah Shivaya.
