But they heard the animals screaming. The police climbed on top of the garage and found that they were being slaughtered.
The team got ready to break open the lock. Meanwhile women started assembling and soon there were over 200 in number. The police and the lawyers tried to convince the crowd that they would not trouble them but to open the lock.Â
