Acharya Prashant highlights the deep interrelation between the dairy and beef industries, arguing that the opposition to beef in India is contradictory because the cattle slaughtered are the same ones previously used for milk and farm labor. He explains that humans exploit the cow twice: first for its milk and energy, and then by selling it for slaughter once it is no longer productive. He critiques the manipulation of Shri Krishna's image, noting that while people use the metaphor of Shri Krishna as a cowherd to justify consuming dairy, they ignore the profound spiritual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. He asserts that true love and spirituality, as represented by Shri Krishna and Shri Shiv, are incompatible with the exploitation of animals. Acharya Prashant further criticizes religious practices like bathing the Shiv ling with milk, calling them nonsensical and contrary to the essence of Shri Shiv, which stands for total love and the dissolution of the personal. He challenges the notion that keeping cows in shelters is an act of love, comparing their treatment—being chained, forcibly bred, and separated from their offspring—to human slavery. He argues that India has been particularly cruel to the cow under the guise of religion. Finally, he dismisses common justifications for dairy consumption, such as the claim that cows need to be milked for their own comfort, by pointing out that nature is self-regulating and that such arguments are merely excuses for human exploitation.
