*Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics*
In this lecture, HH Krishna Kshetra Swami, also known as Dr. Kenneth R. Valpey, introduces _Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics_ and examines the distinctive place of cows in Hindu philosophy, ritual, and daily life.
He reflects on their sacred status, their central role in yajña through milk and ghee, and the traditional significance of their other products.
Cow protection is presented not only as a religious ideal, but also as an ethical, ecological, and social concern.
Overall, the lecture portrays cow care as a practice that fosters health, prosperity, moral formation, and a more harmonious way of life.
