Yeah, nah, that’s insane. Look, you can not like cows being killed. You can be vegetarian. But, they’re fucking cows. They have like 12 brain cells. Don’t be unnecessarily cruel to them, but don’t be killing people over them, ffs.
I think you’re missing the point. Which is that it’s a cow. They don’t really comprehend any of that. The dairy and meat industries mistreat animals horribly. These people aren’t advocating for better conditions where cows are treated reasonably. They seem to actually be directly hurting the cows. That’s assuming that they actually care about the cows that much, and aren’t just trying to kill Muslims. If the cows were so fucked up by all of this, I’d expect a lot more of them to be killing people. They kill 20-22 people in the US per year.
I don’t think they worship the cows. But I understand that Hindus think they’re sacred. If I were to attempt to end the beef trade, then I’d probably try and help out with a broader investigation. But again, they’re cows. You can’t just be shooting truck drivers, and hurting the cows anyways. Maybe, just maybe, just follow the trucks and save the cows at the holding locations?

Cows in India aren’t quite the same deal as simple vegetarianism is in the West. They are treated with a level of religious reverence.

Imagine there was a group of Americans going around cutting down crosses and crucifixes, they’d be met with a similar level of violence.
Or folks in a Muslim country burning Qurans. You aren’t going to get far doing that.
Mistreating cattle in India is the same sort of deal.
Now you can argue religion is the insanity, which is a whole OTHER deal.

How would you know about the bovine experience? Are you a cow?
It’s a troll.
Well, people with far fewer brain cells believe in gods (like cows).
