It’s a belief in India, that before you pray for your wishes with Lord Shiva, you have to secretly say them to Nandhi(Holy Cow)’s ears. In Bragtheeswara Temple in Tanjavur, you can find a huge Holy Cow carved… the Nandhi is 12 feet high, 19.5 feet long and 18.25 feet wide. In Indian villages, the floors of the houses are sprayed with cow dung. Basically I think the dung has natural antibiotic characters. You can find this all the houses in TamilNadu villages.

Thanks for the interesting details. Here some additional questions: is it true that all gods/goddess in Hinduism have a designated area in a cow and therefore the cow is regarded as the temple of all Hindu gods? And is it furthermore true/believed that Mahalakshmi came latest when ’seats’ where distributed, so the only one left was in the tail of the cow and for that reason people like to touch the tail of a cow?
I know it sounds odd, but somehow it would explain certain rituals.

Solution is simple: temporarily, sedate the cow, then catch it and transport to cow friendly institutions who can care for these cows and sell milk to pay for expenses.
hey religious pundits: if you want to be nice to cowns, then remove them from the modern ciites. It is dangerous to leave the cows on the streets, they can get killed by motors, trucks ets.
