There are also cows, who are by accident (or not) eating bugs, worms and other creatures together with grass sometimes. I want to know, is it bona fide to offer their milk, despite of their breaking the principles. We say in our preaching to other people, that eating meat is abominable action, and that we get reactions and all kinds of diseases from the meat, so who knows what do we get from meat-eating cow. (remember mad cow disease?) Maybe we should put masks on the cows when there are on pasture, and before feeding them it would be good if a couple of devotees would carefully check all the grass, every leaf and remove all the bugs. Yeah, and at the end we may hope that one day we will raise our sadhana and walk with cotton cloth on faces and sweepping the road in our walk, like Sikhis do.
