Vedic times consider cow as one of the seven mothers of the humanity. She provides nutritious milk, which is very important food for human beings right from young days. Milk and milk products are most important food ingredients for humanity, hence it is very important to protect them. With the bulls we plow the land, they are like the father who produces food. The manure from them, is very important for agriculture, hence any civilized human being should be protecting these animals.

In the material world the human society gives all protection to the human being, but there is no law to protect the descendants of Surabhi. But Maharaja Pariksit and the Pandavas were fully conscious of the importance of the cow and bull, and they were prepared to punish the cow-killer with all chastisement. The human society should recognize the importance of the cow and the bull and thus give all protection to these important animals, following in the footsteps of Maharaja Pariksit.

Without cow protection in human society, no human civilization can prosper at any length. Protection of Cows is the single-most important principle towards saving the whole world from both moral and spiritual degradation. Simply by protection of Cows all the wonderful benefits of religiosity and piety will be automatically achieved without any separate endeavor.

Therefore, please sign this petition to support the cause to get our law makers to enact stringent laws against cow slaughter. This is the most important thing we can do towards building a more civilized society and certainly this will also help building more greener environment.
