First of all Hindus don't worship cows, that's Christo fascist propaganda. There is a difference between respecting an animal and worshiping an animal. Hinduism of course believes in the supreme force being found in all living beings.
What's wrong with skinning and using products from a dead animal ?
Meat isn't eaten because it's Tamasic and is in the 3rd state of material nature, not just because of the Karma of killing.
Minimizing something is also a valid option as a pose to zero or full use.
Why is it in the West, Beef/Pork/Chicken are eaten but dog and cat meat are not (as in East Asia). Why is Horse meat banned from export from the U.S. ? Seems to me every society restricts eating of animals for various reasons.
Eat your meat, and let the vegetarians eat their vegetables. Why are so you bothered by other people's diets. All the Hindus I know do their own thing whether it's diet or sub-culture or unique form of worship and don't do the Abrahamic thing of imposing one culture on everyone.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->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?
