Lover of Wild Animals !!!

Their villages are easily distinguishable with plenty of trees and other vegetation, and herds of antelopes roaming freely near their homes. The fields are ploughed with simple ploughs using bullocks or camels and this causes minimal damage to the fragile desert eco-system. The Bishnois keep only cows and buffaloes as rearing of sheep and goats, which devour desert vegetation, is taboo. They do not sell dairy products, and do not raise sheep or goats for slaughter. The Bishnoi do not allow their dogs to kill the wild animals, especially the black bucks. Cats are well taken care of and the Bishnoi appreciate that they kill snakes and rats who eat their grain. They feed the cats yogurt and milk. The Bisnois maintain groves, locally known as orans, for the animals to graze and birds to feed. Orans serve as important recharger of rain water in the aquifers in the desert, where every single drop of water is precious. In most orans, particularly in western Rajasthan.
