I am not trying to insult anyone here. Just a curious question regarding animal rights activists views. What is your take on cows in India? When you see them wandering around all skin and bone.

• Abolishing the caste system would be a better remedy than eating cows for feeding India's poor. After all, the cows will eventually all be eaten yet people will still need to eat something. There is a large segment of the population that does not matter to society unless they are toiling for the upper-casts. If they get sick, it is more economical to let them die than to treat their illness. The reason people starve in India might have more to do with how access to food is granted than any shortage of food.

• Agreed!! The question was dealing specifically with cattle, so that's how I answered it :)

• Ok, it's all in good conversation. Perhaps I am over anxious to point out the problems of poor people and poor animals. :-)

• I'm sure if cow's could choose, they'd rather be in India.

• I'm not an activist, but people paint me out as one when I explain why I don't eat meat. It is very interesting that at a BBQ I have to bring fake meat (which I ordinarily don't buy) just to fit in and not attract attention.
  ...
  So I'm the one that's somehow an extremest because I don't wish to support the corrupt meat industry? How many meat commercials does one see when watching a TV show? Who lobbies the government for laws that make the production of their product less expensive? These questions make me wonder who the aggressive activists really are. Heaven forbid that there are few and far between voices which question the wisdom of meat production.

• Hey, were did my comment go? Was it too long? That effort was for nothing. Nevermind, now it shows up. That's weird.
