Not only do cows hold grudges but don't some folks (in India) believe that cows are our relatives, like dead relatives. Instead of going home to heaven to be with God, you become a cow. That's what may be behind this "cow's got feelings" stuff, they don't want us eating their dead relatives. It just might become part of someone's new tolerance bill somewhere on this crazy mixed up global planet, The "Don't Eat The Relatives Initiative" or something, all for world peace of course.
Hi Esther Ruth.
Haven't talked to you in ages.
I think animals do have feelings, but I'm a good omnivore, and I like my meat.
I just think that as much as possible, the food we eat should be killed as quickly and cleanly as possible, and then used up as much as possible.
I personally think India is insane for NOT eating the cows. Millions of folks at starvation level in that country, and the cows live better than many of the people.
Besides, since many people in India believe in reincarnation, then beef might be considered a "renewable resource"!
