Why cow? Why now?

A few days ago, I had put a status "Beef is bad for health, don't eat cows. Donate the money you would otherwise spend on beef to #GouSanjivini"
I got indulged with a few friends on this topic on later date. Just posting here, our conversation for you all.

Friends : (As a reply to my status post) Support all living beings, not just cows. :)
Let the plants live as well. Don't eat them too🤗🤗🤗 All of the things now people are bothered about cows, let people eat what they want.
One more friend accents saying "High time people realize this.."

(As I knew well, that they are Catholic Christians, thought of answering this way)

Me: I really wonder, who limited interpretation to 'only humans'!! For the words "Thou shall not kill."

And about plants, when you eat rice for example life of that plant is limited. And we consume it after it's natural death. When we eat leaves and fruit it doesn't cause death of the plant. It's only when we cut it's root - for medicinal purposes in most cases - that too to save other life.
Even in all other cases, Eating plants upgrade the plant energy into human life force, where as eating animals in most cases gets you Ill.

It's high time to realize that humans are not bought to earth to destroy life chain.

(and there he asked a logical question!)
Friend: Nanda, but why now ? And why only in India ? Why are we making cow has an important subject when there are other things should be handled first?

(This made me speak.)
Me: I'm not denying importance of any other matter.

Not just now. Cow slaughter has been a subject which motivated Mangal pandey and many such freedom fighters. Slaughtering cow was protested even at the time of Mughals. Prohibition of slaughter has made mandatory in Article 48 of our constitution. Sadly, vote bank politics ignored it. Indira Gandhi refused to ban cow slaughter and Slaughterd 15000 people who asked for it in Delhi on 07 Nov 1967!!!

Not just in India, voice to #GoVegan and importance of protection of #BosIndicus is a subject which even foreigners would assent. Having beef is proven cancerous. Where as #GouTeerthaArka is proved to be a medicine.

And above all, to be honest, more importantly, At the rate which we are feeding earth with chemical fertilizer and killing farm animals, I don't think human being can survive after 2050! By saving farm animals from slaughter houses, we save earth by destruction.

Friend: Nanda Kishor B, since we are humans we can do anything, we will come up with alternative source 😜

(I just completed my words as the following)

Get get an alternative to meat. Ban animal farming and move towards cow based agriculture. Move to plant based nutrition for fitness.

Simple solution - creating another earth is not possible, hence just contribute to save farm animals. 😊

****

One person alone can't get the change. However, we together can. When we stand united for our future, Govt has to #BanCowSlaughter. You can also #ProtectWithPen.
