do hara khrisnas still have adopt a cow/protect a cow program?

Question

Adopt-a-Cow

To combat the slaughter of millions of cows each year, dedicated Hindus in the United States are being asked to join the Adopt-a-Cow cow-protection program, reports India Observer. A Hare Krishna farm community in Pennsylvania has been selected as the site for the pilot program. This will provide the way “for all Hindus to show their commitment to one of the basic pious religious principles, cow protection.” Three plans—$30 a month, $100 a month, and a one-time donation of $3,000 or more that will protect the cow for her whole life—are being offered. Participants get a color photograph of their adopted cow, reports of the cow’s progress, and a free weekend at the farm community to visit their “go-mata,” or sacred mother. Hindus revere “the cow as the mother of human society, because she provides one of nature’s most nourishing foods,” says the Observer.

Answer 1

Don't be ridiculous. For 5 bucks you can become a member of my cow-tipping club.

Answer 2

Great program. There is great deal of suffering when a mother's son is slaughtered in the battlefield, but there is not concern when the cow's calf is slaughtered to satisfy the tongue.

Answer 3

Observation is good but if that money could be provided so many human beeings neglected and discarded could be looked after. I found many stupid europeans selling hara krishna books! Could these people dedicate themselves to human service!!!!

Answer 4

Holy cow!

Answer 5

I cant be bothered reading that.
