Зrйmad-Bhдgavatam 1.3.14 Los Angeles, September 19, 1972

These rascals, the scientists, they do not know that milk is nothing but transformation of the blood. That everyone knows. So if you want to... That is nature's way, by God's will, that a cow gives forty pounds, fifty pounds milk daily, but it does not drink. Although it is her milk, no, it gives you, human society: "You take. But don't kill me. Let me live. I am eating only grass." Just see. And the civilized men killing them, killing them. And they want peace. Just see the fun.

Without touching your foodstuff, the cow is eating the grass which is given by God, immense grass, and they are givingyou the finest foodstuff, milk. Just after your birth you have only to drink milk, either mother's milk... Nowadays, mothers do not supply milk. That is also to be supplied by the cow. So from

the very beginning of my life I am subsisting by the foodstuff given by mother, cow,

and when I am grown up, I kill. This is my gratitude. Just see. And they are called civilized. Less than lowest animal, narдdhama. They are called narдdhama, lowest of the mankind. Those who are killing cows, maintaining slaughterhouse, they are lowest of the mankind. They are not human being.

Less than animal. They have no gratitude ….

Bhagavad-gйtд 3.11-19 Los Angeles, December 27, 1968

Guest: We can take care of cows, can't we?

Prabhupдda: You should. Otherwise you are ungrateful. You are drinking milk, you are taking so much butter, milk product, and as gratitude you are killing cows? You should be ashamed. Even (if) you have no human feelings. You suck the breast of your mother and kill? Is that humanity?

Зrйmad-Bhдgavatam 6.1.3 Melbourne, May 22, 1975

Therefore cow is so important that we can get nice food, the milk.

Milk is required every morning.

But what is this justice, that after taking milk from the animal and kill it? Is that very good justice?

So it is very, very sinful, and we have to suffer for that.

It is stated in the здstras that "If you do this sinful act,

you will go to this kind of hell. "

S he is eating that grass and supplying the most nutritious food,milk,

and in exchange you are cutting throat. How you can be happy?

Such an innocent animal.

From milk you get so much fat. Complete food …

Acyutдnanda: In the Bible it says that everything was for the enjoyment of man. Man is sovereign over the animals.

Prabhupдda: Enjoyment does not mean that you kill him.

Tamдla Kеслa: Enjoy means protection. It means protecting, not eating.

Prabhupдda: Go-rakсya. You protect the cows and take

the best food in the world, milk.

That is enjoyment. Not foolishly to eat the cow.
