Hindus don't adore cows. We regard, respect and worship the dairy animals. By respecting this delicate creature, who gives more than she takes, we respect all animals. Hindus see every single living animal as holy – warm blooded animals, fishes, feathered creatures and the sky is the limit from there. We recognize this veneration for life in our unique love for the bovine. At celebrations we improve and respect her, yet we don't love her as in we love the Deity. To the Hindu, the cow symbolizes every single other animal. The bovine is an image of the Earth, the nourisher, the constantly giving, undemanding supplier. The dairy animals speaks to life and the sustenance of life. The bovine is so liberal, taking only water, grass and grain. It gives and gives and gives of its drain, as does the freed soul give of his otherworldly information. The dairy animals is so essential to life, the virtual sustainer of life, for some people. The dairy animals is an image of beauty and wealth. Adoration of the dairy animals ingrains in Hindus the ethics of delicacy, receptivity and connectedness with nature.
