Prabhupada, June 14, 1976, Detroit: The cow is not my mother? Who can live without milk? And who has not taken cow’s milk? Immediately, in the morning, you require milk. And the animal, she’s supplying milk, she’s not mother? What is the sense? Mother-killing civilization. And they want to be happy. And periodically there is great war and wholesale massacre, reaction…
I learned that in South Africa, before killing the cows, they take the last drop of milk, and then it is sent to the slaughterhouse.
They are so expert that if there is still little milk, take it before her death. Is that civilization, that you are taking milk…? So Vedic civilization is as you are drinking milk from the cow, she’s your mother.
Actually she’s mother. But what is this civilization, killing mother? Hm? Is that civilization? Take from mother whatever she can deliver up to the last drop of milk, and then kill her. Advanced civilization, scientific. Killing scientifically. This is not civilization.
Hari-sauri: And just to emphasize it, they deliberately moved the Indian community next to the slaughterhouse.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Hari-sauri: Because they know they don’t like cow killing.
Devotee: Where?
Hari-sauri: In South Africa.
Prabhupada: The Indian quarters near their slaughterhouse, and the animals screaming like anything whole night, and they have to hear it. The real purpose is that the Indians may go out.
Dr. Wolfe: Prabhupada, who does that?
Prabhupada: In South Africa.
Dr. Wolfe: The government?
Devotee: Yes.
Dr. Wolfe: It’s barbarian.
Prabhupada: Hm. I was in South Africa in, what is that city?
Hridayananda: Johannesburg.
