COWS ARE COOL: LOVE ‘EM!

Preface

        We have to understand we are not the only beings on this planet with personalities and minds’, says Jane Goodall. That makes sense. Even a child knows that. All creatures have a personality and this holds true even for trees and plants what to speak of insects, reptiles, birds and beasts. Any child can attest to this simple fact but modern scientists and religionists often think otherwise.
        It was recently reported that European scientists have ‘discovered’ that domesticated pets can experience something much akin to the human emotions including envy. They have just now got around to studying the human like emotions in pets after having long discounted the experiences and anecdotes of pet owners as anthropomorphizing. For many years, physicians and scientists assumed that other mammals do not experience pain in any significant way.
        But does it take a scientist to understand this simple fact that all creatures in this world are sentient? This is known even to a puny animal! How far the human society has degraded can be judged from this fact.
        Religionists are not too far behind these dull-headed and stone-hearted ‘scientific’ claims. In some of the world’s prominent religions, animals are denied feelings due to their not possessing a soul. Previously the same folks denied a soul to Red Indians, slaves, Africans and women.
        Animals very much possess a soul, a far better one than these soulless religionists do. These so-called religious followers are the ones without a soul.
It is height of arrogance to assume that animals do not have advanced mental and emotional capabilities and deserve some consideration, just because we eat, drink and sleep in some what polished ways.
        Because of such widespread misconceptions and mischief, modern man is so soulless in dealing with non-human creatures. He has created a hell on Earth for animals. An advanced country like USA slaughters over one million animals per hour in spite of the easy availability of grains, vegetables and milk to feed everyone.
        This book deals with the internal lives of the cows. Cow is a very sober animal and does not wag her tail as often as a dog. This does not mean dog is good and cow is food. All animals including dog should be shown love and care. But cow especially has a serious significance for human existence in this world. Our earlier books on this subject (cowism.com) shed some light on it.
        Talk about cows’ feelings is often brushed off as fluffy and sentimental but this book would prove it otherwise.
