I have always believed that cows have a role to play in world peace and by reading your blog I feel that even more strongly. I didn't know of your organisation until now. I have signed up to receive updates and will be a keen watcher!; Saturday, 27 June, 2009

Why Protect Cows

Without protection of cows, brahminical culture cannot be maintained; and without brahminical culture, the aim of life cannot be fulfilled. Srimad Bhagavatam 8.24.5

Not to hurt our humble brethen (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it - If you have men who will exclude any God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. Saint Francis of Assisi (mystic and preacher)

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man. Isiah 66.3

As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love. Pythagoras (6th century BC)
