The human mother drinks cows milk, and from it produces her milk, which we humans drink at birth. Then at 3 months we start drinking cows milk in a bottle then in cups. We also eat delicious foods made from cowsâ milk. Foods like ice cream, yogurt, cheese, and curd. From our birth to our death we rely on cows milk. Thus the cow is considered a mother as she provides us with nourishing food for life. How can you kill such a mother?
Every time you eat pizza, ice cream, yogurt, and other foods made from cowâs milk, you should be very great full to the cow.
How can you kill a mother that provides nourishing food to you for life?
The cow is also the favorite animal of God, Lord Krishna. Why? Since the cow provides nourshing food to Lord Krishnaâs children, you and me. Lord Krishna is very much greateful to her. Would you be greateful to someone who feeds your children, or would you order them to be killed and eaten?
Lord Caitanya, who was an incarnation of Lord Krishna states in the Caitanya Caritamrta, Adi-lila chapter 17, verses.165-167.
âCow-killers are condemned to rot in hellish life for as many thousands of years as there are hairs on the body of the cow.â

Even though milk is good for you, it is not essential for human health at all. No animal drinks the milk of another animal, except for humans. My cousin is not only a vegetarian, he also refuses to eat or drink any dairy products or eggs. He won't even wear animal products. Even though I personally eat meat and dairy products, I understand why some people don't. And my cousin is quite healthy.
And even though killing cows may be taboo in India, so many Indians are wearing leather shoes. I even bought a leather jacket during a visit to India. Most likely the leather would have been made from cow skins.
The production of photo film requires gelatin that is derived from animal bones, including cow bones. At least today we have digital cameras, but in the days before digital cameras, even Indians took pictures.
Isn't it ironic that the religion that worships cows condones the exploitation of cows to produce milk? Milk is often produced by hooking cows up to milking machines for hours at a time, and it can be very painful to them. Cows are often fed hormones to boost milk production. And why do Indians wear clothes made with materials derived from cows?
