Pebbair has a weekly market where people buy and sell animals.
Some residents say many cattle are taken from the market to Hyderabad every week.
They worry the animals may be crowded into containers and treated badly during the trip.
They also say officials should check where the cattle are going and whether the transport follows the rules.
These claims have not yet been verified.
