Gau rakshaks don't give a hoot about poor farmers. In India, the butcher shop is mostly owned by Muslims, and this gives the perfect opportunity for these "protectors" to round up unsuspecting people and steal their money. The fact that they are muslims give them the legitimacy to do so because they have been dehumaned by the present government.
