I`ve seen them eating the grass on the verges of roads. Most of the time they just seem to mooch about.

[ummmm]

I have seen them trying to eat cardboard poor things, didnt see the programme [ didnt her ex do something similsr ?] but I always feel sorry for the beggar kids, they are maimed to make money and are born on the street and die on the street, never having slept in a proper bed all their lives.

Only 16% of the Indian population are Muslim, Christian or Jewish.

The other 84% are predominantly non-cow eating.
