HOLY COW

Cows.
The cows in India walk the streets, eating garbage but somtimes are fed leftovers. They are a holy animal, left to wander the land as they wish, but people want them close by because they are holy. They believe that if they feed them once in a while they will get good Karma out of it!
So, the cows walk on the highway, in the middle of city center traffic, through street shops, around the city and town eating whatever garbage they can find.
Its funny because as soon as they get towards someone's business they get smacked with a stick or rock or a hand..
I had to write this because today I saw a hurt cow with a very large gash on its leg, that will more than likely get infected, an kill the cow slowly. Also, they have many cows die due to eating plastic and the plastic getting caught and the cow chokes on it. I also have seen a cow walking with a large gash in its leg, it was a pale brown cow. I could see the blood poison going through its leg and into its body, due to the brights pink lines down its torso.

This gets me upset, because if this animal is so holy why aren't they taking care of them. it is bad luck for te Hindus if the cow dies on their account or on their property. So why wouldn't they try to help it. there are some vets that work solely on these animals and they are volunteers.
I don't think I will ever understand this religion ever. I think it is better to eat the animal, and then people would be keeping them well fed and healthy! Makes sense to me!

vegetarianism = 0, Carnivorous = 1
