God's first business is go-brahmana hitaya ca, brahmanya devaya. Krsna is very, very eager to maintain the brahminical culture in the human society, brahma janati, understanding of Brahman and go-brahmana-hitaya ca, go, cows, cow protection. Where is that civilization? Where is that brahminical culture? Where is that go-raksa? Very precarious condition. Therefore we should accept the standard of civilization. So why should we kill? Especially if we are human being, the cow is supplying us milk, the most important foodstuff. So instead of giving protection to the cow, if we kill, do you think that is very..., if you kill me, is that very good gratitude? So at least in the human life, these senses should be there. Cow protection is recommended in the Vedic literature because it is giving the most valuable foodstuff, milk. Apart from other sentiments, it is supplying, and in exchange of nothing. She simply eats some grasses from the ground. That's all. You don't have to provide cows with foodstuff. The things which you refuse, you take the grain and you supply the skin. You take the fruit pulp, you supply the skin. You take the, I mean to say, from paddy. You take the rice. You supply the straw and she delivers you a very nice foodstuff. And I have discussed all these points in my Srimad-Bhagavatam, that human economic problem can be solved simply by having some land and some cows. That's all.
