PROTECTACOW BULL
By pious activities in the mode of goodness one is purified; therefore the sages, who are free from all illusion, are situated in happiness. Similarly, activities in the mode of passion are simply miserable. Any activity for material happiness is bound to be defeated. If, for example, one wants to have a skyscraper, so much human misery has to be undergone before a big skyscraper can be built. The financier has to take much trouble to earn a mass of wealth, and those who are slaving to construct the building have to render physical toil. The miseries are there. Thus Bhagavad-gita says that in any activity performed under the spell of the mode of passion, there is definitely great misery. There may be a little so-called mental happiness--"I have this house or this money"--but this is not actual happiness.
As far as the mode of ignorance is concerned, the performer is without knowledge, and therefore all his activities result in present misery, and afterwards he will go on toward animal life. Animal life is always miserable, although, under the spell of the illusory energy, maya, the animals do not understand this. Slaughtering poor animals is also due to the mode of ignorance. The animal killers do not know that in the future the animal will have a body suitable to kill them. That is the law of nature. In human society, if one kills a man he has to be hanged. That is the law of the state. Because of ignorance, people do not perceive that there is a complete state controlled by the Supreme Lord. Every living creature is a son of the Supreme Lord, and He does not tolerate even an ant's being killed. One has to pay for it. So, indulgence in animal killing for the taste of the tongue is the grossest kind of ignorance. A human being has no need to kill animals because God has supplied so many nice things. If one indulges in meat-eating anyway, it is to be understood that he is acting in ignorance and is making his future very dark. Of all kinds of animal killing, the killing of cows is most vicious because the cow gives us all kinds of pleasure by supplying milk. Cow slaughter is an act of the grossest type of ignorance.

Oh what a sweetie. Growly guy. What breed is he? My heart goes out to you. He looks happy, content and free to be himself. Love to you and to him.

Thanks for your kind words.Kuppy was/is a guernsey bull.His daughter is Krsnai by my jersey milk cow Vindi.Kuppy was a very spoecial guy,proud and determined.Now that he's gone from my material vision it amazes me how much he dominated my thoughts,always wondering how he was doing,if he was satisfied,and he was so loud even in the middle of the night you couldn't forget about him.I'm not very sentimental but when I close my eyes I see Lord Krsna embracing him in unlimited green pastures.

[Caitanyadasa]

Kuppy was a super fine bull. I remember him licking Noah's face.

Good bye Kuppy, you have gone on to a better place. Although it is a better place, the place where you called Home, for the last so many years, was an incredible place. Your home was a happy and peaceful, safe place. Where a real cowprotector lived, finding happiness only in that protection.
