Cow replaces the Tiger as India’s national animal

In a move that shocked everyone from Sangh Parivar to Billi Parivar (cat family), Union Home Minister P Chidambaram announced that henceforth, cow will be the national animal of India. Chidambaram claimed that the move was actually a statutory obligation on part of the government, and not a political gimmick as many might suspect. He cited a hidden footnote from the constitution that had remained unnoticed all these years.
