Cow is just an animal like a hen or goat… then why is it revered and why one should not kill and eat it?” Though cow is an animal, it has many specialties unlike any other animal (not even human beings) has in this world. This is the reason why Hindus worship cow as ‘mother’ calling it “Gow Maatha”.
