This open access book provides both a broad perspective and a
focused examination of cow care as a subject of widespread ethical
concern in India, and increasingly in other parts of the world. In
the face of what has persisted as a highly charged political issue
over cow protection in India, intellectual space must be made to
bring the wealth of Indian traditional ethical discourse to bear on
the realities of current human-animal relationships, particularly
those of humans with cows. Dharma, yoga, and bhakti paradigms serve
as starting points for bringing Hindu-particularly Vaishnava
Hindu-animal ethics into conversation with contemporary Western
animal ethics. The author argues that a culture of bhakti-the
inclusive, empathetic practice of spirituality centered in Krishna
as the beloved cowherd of Vraja-can complement recently developed
ethics-of-care thinking to create a solid basis for sustaining all
kinds of cow care communities.
