Good for the "ape extra" trishaw importer. You see what I mean. Godatath Madatah Ekama Wahane.

One on the driver's seat is the buffalo

-1+45 # Anuradha 2012-07-11 09:04

well said !!! really !!!

-1+67 # weha 2012-07-11 09:42

They should put the driver in a 2*2*2 box and ask him how he feels

What is wrong to transport like this, we daily travel in public and private buses and trains. Do we have any special rules for transporting animals. Are we not have equal rights like these animals.

-4+70 # sue 2012-07-11 09:18

True, but no one forces you to do that and I'm sure you don't travel with your feet tied and your body encased in a gunny bag. Look at the terrified expression on that poor animal's eyes and keep in mind he doesn't even have animal rights here.

-6+9 # Imran Hussein 2012-07-11 10:15

Ramkumar's question is right and humorous and your answer id equally good. The driver is wrong but cant blame him 100%. he is making his bucks. Its the kind of survival today, unfortunately.

-6+26 # hrm 2012-07-11 09:33

-0+2 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:26

-3+4 # Noor 2012-07-11 10:56

Yahh, you will travel in the our buses willingly, becos, majority of the travellers are female.

-0+5 # sajitha 2012-07-11 11:31

This animal is being driven to the 'mas kade' if you are trying to call equal rights for that then you know what you are asking for?

I fail to understand the mantality of this man who can not see the misery of the animal.

-0+0 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:26

how do we know he is a man?

-0+0 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:25

COST OF LIVING SO HIGH PEOPLE ARE DESPERATE

-2+68 # Himal 2012-07-11 08:34

Maybe he was private bus conductor before becoming a three wheel driver.....

-5+39 # Smile 2012-07-11 08:41

Actually this is no big deal ... there are buffaloes been taken in tax payer funded Mercs Beamers and Cruisers everyday

-0+1 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:27

-4+16 # lankaman 2012-07-11 08:54

-14+16 # thilak 2012-07-11 08:59

In Vietnam They transport Buffolows in MotorBikes.

-0+2 # Noor 2012-07-11 11:03

So why you take bad example, listen to some good comments here in this forum.

-0+2 # PS 2012-07-11 11:09

So does that mean that its ok for us to do it??

-0+1 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:28

Does that mean your relatives in Vietnam are transported in bikes?

-6+23 # Naz 2012-07-11 09:03

Travel costs are so high, even buffalos can't afford!

-2+16 # Chamal 2012-07-11 09:07

Make the buffalo sit on the seat you ......

-8+12 # Sarani 2012-07-11 09:20

-14+8 # saman 2012-07-11 09:25

-0+1 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:28

a buffalo won't understand.

-6+18 # ahmed 2012-07-11 09:30

this is a sort of harming the animal where as the gvt should look into the public who travels in the buses so tightly worst than this animal!!!

-0+1 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:28

hello, are you forced to travel in the bus?

-3+16 # Tony 2012-07-11 09:38

law is only for Animal! Not for Humans

-0+20 # mjm 2012-07-11 09:44

hmm.. i am wondering how did he manage put the buffalo inside while its legs are tied

-0+15 # ahmed 2012-07-11 11:16

Our people are very intelligent in these stuffs!!!

-5+14 # Roghen Res 2012-07-11 09:47

Do you think that Buffalo should have been left to sit on back seat peacefully?How does police transport prisoners in front of eyes of their beloveds?

-0+19 # Jay 2012-07-11 10:05

How the hell did they get it in the first place. Not easy!!!

-2+0 # Roshan 2012-07-11 10:41

effect of cost of living

-0+10 # Sammy 2012-07-11 10:45

Buffalo transported in this manner by human buffaloes.

-0+4 # amila 2012-07-11 10:54

they will start transporting elephants soon in a trishow after seeing this idea..

-2+7 # anonymous 2012-07-11 11:06

This fellow, if kept alive, could've fed an entire family. Kill it and it'll feed you for a couple of meals. It's a shame that this kind of treatment towards animals is happening in our country.

-4+1 # Modaya 2012-07-11 12:59

Sad that killing of buffaloes is considered harmful, while killing of pigs, fish, chickens will make you glad..

-0+0 # Butcher 2012-07-11 13:30

killing anything is bad - but yes cattle are much more valuable alive than dead !!!

-0+7 # Hall 2012-07-11 11:11

-1+10 # Hithere 2012-07-11 11:15

It's called Animal Abuse people. A new thing is so called "buddha's country"...sickening.... SICK.

-0+1 # Minister 2012-07-11 11:22

For our education, please explain where the buffalo was found. Front seat or back seat?

-3+2 # dimuthu 2012-07-11 11:25

Good advertisement for Bajaj Three wheelers, even a buffalo can be transported.. Increase the import tax as these vehicles are nuisance to our society.

-0+2 # LongLeg 2012-07-11 13:31

Dimuthu - if you even looked at the picture you will notice the 2 wheeler is not a Bajaj.

-1+3 # Caesar 2012-07-11 11:26

Such offenders must be given capital punishment for cruelty on innocent animals. If its a human it can tell the others his plight, but these dumb animals are helpless in front of cruel man the most wild beast on the earth!

-0+3 # piyal samarakone 2012-07-11 11:31

Guys there is only one solutions absolutely one
Like Raja Kale - punishment should be mirror image of the crime - simple as that - for that matter any crime.
I think its very fare one to one -
So all of us gets our faire share nothing more nothing less

-1+0 # Cynthia Chalker 2012-07-11 11:34

Well deposited.

-3+5 # Holla 2012-07-11 11:42

Cummon they were just transporting the animal. It would eventually be taken out. The buses these days are worse im thinking the bull is having a good time than we do when we get on a bus. The drivers taken into custody ? Then they should take the bus conductors too.. If the bull can take the spot light, i think the newspapers should focus on humans too we too are animals.

-2+7 # wambotta 2012-07-11 11:42

must be a Hambanthota buffalo,,,,,

-0+1 # Appuhamy 2012-07-11 14:44

-0+2 # shaffaa 2012-07-11 11:58
