Cow protection – interview (audio)
HH Krishna Ksetra Swami: Here’s an interview I gave a few days ago on NewBooksNetwork about “Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics”
What does cow care in India have to offer modern Western discourse on animal ethics? Why are cows treated with such reverence in the Indian context? Join us as we speak to Kenneth R. Valpey about his new book Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). Valpey discusses his methodological odyssey looking at ancient Hindu scriptural accounts of cows, to modern Hindu thinkers (Gandhi, Ambedkar) on cow protection, to ethnographic work on individuals engaged in the modern Indian cow protection movement.
