A cow is tied to a tree and beaten, so that a bull can come and impregnate her, and then once she starts producing milk, she will be separated from the calf.
Calling her Gau Mata when it is convenient, but treating her as a commodity when profit is involved is a strong contradiction. If cows were truly revered, would their calves be taken away, their bodies exploited for production, and their worth reduced to the value of milk, skin, bones, and by-products?
There is a reason even leaders like @myogiadityanath who speak of cow protection have never been able to elevate her to the status of a national animal because the uncomfortable truth is that she is not respected enough. Like buffaloes, goats, and countless other animals, she remains part of an industry that views living beings through the lens of utility and economics.
Now, with calls to expand circularity by @AmitShah beyond dung to include skins, bones, and other cattle by-products, the message is clear: every part of the animal must be monetized. When an animal's value is measured by how much can be extracted from her body, compassion inevitably takes a back seat.
