You are cracking me up MJ, with your 3 question marked question - why should you be so surprised?
I AM serious - of course I don't have any actual experience of it since I have never owned cows or lived in the countryside, purely anecdotal. Not even sure how many do it, rich vs poor. I am sure it's more prevalent now and you need to balance that with the fact that cows are also abandoned and let loose once they are old because there may be Hindus that don't want to have them slaughtered yet think it's a burden to take care of them. It's only during the elections that politicians raise these issues - may be wipe out a few people of the other religion so they could mobilize their followers - not sure how often this happens now since I don't follow the news in India - but there were several incidents where Hindus and Muslims would kill each other during election time, but otherwise co-exist fine. Especially the Hindu Nationalist parties and the Islam based parties. And Gurus like Amma hobnob with Hindu Nationalist parties - it's disgusting.
