If cows are so sacred in India, why are they left to roam all over the place, and starve to death?

If cows are so sacred in India, why are they left to roam all over the place, and starve to death?

In answering this question, it’s necessary to keep in mind the socio-economic conditions of Indians. With the passing of time, the values and scriptural mandates have started to gather rust. As a result, they have started to fade away from our day-to-day lifestyle. Cows are holy, but nowadays only few people will come forward to provide them with shelter. People in the cities have no time and space for them. They don’t even have time and space for their old parents, and so thinking about cows would be utter foolishness.

In rural India, you will still find the flavour of ancient India, as cows are still used for agriculture. Certain Hindu religious organizations are also playing an active role in providing safe shelter for them. But still, very little has been done for these holy animals.
