Dairy Herd Management

[Guest guest]

We should accept the general mass of people no matter than dogs, hogs. It

is in your country, "Dog is best friend." Because he is a dog. Therefore he

has chosen a best friend dog. And cow, mother, giving milk and actually

drinking—"Send her to the slaughterhouse." Just see. Is it not an animal,

who is making friendship with dogs and sending mother to the

slaughterhouse? What is your answer? This is my charge against your

country. What is your answer?

Just like one milk. You can prepare fifty different kinds of preparation

from milk—at least. So many varieties. In New Vrindaban we are keeping

cows. That is an example. And the cows are giving milk, delivering milk,

double than other farmers. Why? Because the cows know that "These people

will not kill me." They are not in anxiety. Suppose you are engaged in some

work, and if you know that "After seven days, I will be killed," can you do

the work very nicely? No. Similarly, the cows know in the Western countries

that "These people giving me very nice grains and grass, but after all,

they will kill me." So they are not happy. But if they are assured that

"You'll not be killed," then they will give double milk, double milk. That

is stated in the çästra. During Mahäräja Yudhiñöhira's time, the cows milk

bag was so filled up that in the pasturing ground they were dropping, and

the whole pasturing ground became moist, muddy with milk. The land used to

be muddy with milk, not with water. That was the position. 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. And they are stated in the çästras that "If you do

this sinful act, you will go to this kind of hell." There are description

in the Fifth Canto.
