I think you don't get my point either. You said Nepali love cows as much dogs in the west. Are you sure about this statement?I don't know what you were thinking to make such an amusing statement. Where I come from in Nepal, cows are nuisance, they are a burden nobody wants to deal with. I grew up seeing them cursed, beaten (almost to death - yes, but not killed if you are offended ). Here is  what happens in my part of Nepal, maybe not yours. Early in the morning, these cows are stealing vegetables and the shop owner beat the shit out of them. I've seen them bloodied with broken head and legs. Then some fool come and drink a shot of the urine this cow makes after bring beaten. They sleep and block the traffic at every corner, the classic image we see on TV in the west (maybe propaganda for some folks here). Their population is uncontrolled, no organization cares for stray cows that are hindering and jeopardizing people's life. Really most cow worshipping friends I've come across don't give a damn about cow. Oh! Yes they do put a garland on their neck one day of the year - Gai Puja - in the name of religion. That's about it. The word 'love' for a cow is a bit arrogant and a joke - unless you're out of touch with reality. To compare 'love' for dogs in the west and the love for cows in Nepal are two different world. They are not even remotely close. It simply comes out of people's faith, and nothing else.
