In India, cows are considered sacred and beef cannot be eaten. How was the cow treated in the end?

India not only regards cows as sacred objects, but also has the Hindu creed of not killing animals. However, India is the world's largest beef exporter. Not all cows in India are considered sacred; only the zebu native to India is revered as a sacred cow.

The skin of Zebu cattle is lighter in color, and white is the most common. This kind of cattle is named after a huge bull peak on its neck. As long as it is a zebu, regardless of whether it is a male or a female, young or old, it is sacred and inviolable. Among them, the female zebu is the most noble.

The Zebu is not only noble, but is also protected by law in many areas of India. If you slaughter a Zebu, you may be sentenced to up to five years in prison. Although this kind of cattle is noble, except for a small number of particularly good-looking and spiritual white zebu cattle that are sent to temples to live a pampered life, other zebu cattle also have to serve the working people

So it is wrong to say that India does not kill cows and does not eat beef. Due to India's special religious and cultural environment, there are many cows and meat, and very little is consumed by oneself. This has made India the world's leading beef exporter, with a share as high as 20%. There are strict regulations on cow slaughter in India, and the laws vary from state to state. Some are completely prohibited and do not allow the buying and selling of cattle.

Some can be bought and sold, but cannot be killed. Although some states allow the killing of cattle, they can only kill specific cattle, mainly buffalo. Buffalo meat has become the main force of India's beef exports, and it must be boneless beef. This is regulated by the Foreign Trade Act of India.

After all, cattle are still private property. In today's world of great material abundance, people's thinking is not so rigid. Many people began to take advantage of "doctrine" and legal loopholes to sell cattle to cattle dealers for money, and most of these cattle were eventually sent to slaughterhouses. Some people even engage in cattle rustling. Hinduism emphasizes the protection of "cows", in some conservative areas. After the cows age, they will be sent to special nursing homes to spend their old age in darkness.

However, under the temptation of profit, many "cows" were also transformed into slaughterhouses. Some of India's high-caste elites have also shaken off their shackles and begun to try to restore traditions and eat beef.
