Acharya Prashant highlights the deep interrelation between the dairy and beef industries, arguing that the opposition to beef in India is often hypocritical because the cattle slaughtered for meat are the same ones previously used for milk and farm labor. He explains that when cattle become old and are no longer productive for human consumption or welfare, they are sold to butchers for slaughter. He critiques the common justification that farmers must sell these animals to avoid financial ruin, noting that this cycle is a form of double exploitation where the animal is used first for its milk and labor, and then for its flesh.
