Animal Welfare Board urges Indian's to celebrate Valentine's Day as Cow Hug Day

The Animal Welfare Board of India in Haryana allegedly made a proposal to celebrate Valentine's Day as  "Cow Hug day." The letter claims the AWBI to have proposed February 14 as a day to hug the cows. The subject of the copy reads, "Celebrate the Cow Hug day on 14th February-regarding (sic)." "The dazzle of western civilization has made our physical culture and heritage almost forgotten," it adds suggesting that vedic traditions are going extinct.

The annual celebration of love and romance across the various regions of the world is named Valentine's Day. Every year it falls on February 14. The day is also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine.The day has its cultural and religious significance. Though love doesn’t need to be expressed on a single day or through the exchange of gifts. But this special day will bring more essence to the lives of love birds. The number of days before Valentine’s Day is known as Valentine's week. And the entire week is meant to celebrate the feeling of love for your dear ones. The days are Rose Day, Propose Day, Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and Valentines Day.
