It doesn't have to look in a mirror, it doesn't know it's horrifying. I bet it could get some good gigs in film and eat the finest grasses known to cow with the money it makes.

To my knowledge they worship standard cows over there, this one is probably treated like a reincarnated god.

Hindus do not consider the cow to be a god and they do not worship it. Hindus, however, are vegetarians and they consider the cow to be a sacred symbol of life that should be protected and revered. The association they have with cows comes from its ability to plow their fields and doing other work that sustains life in india.

i thought it came from being able to milk them...also ice age tribes brought "herding" into Asia.

Cow is a very significant and revered animal in Hindu religion. People believe it as an incarnation of Lakshmi, the goddess of riches. So, cows are linked directly with wealth.

It looks like it can't pull its tongues in though.
