Cattle slaughter in India, especially cow slaughter, is a controversial phenomenon due to cattle's status as adored and respected living beings to adherents of Dharmic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. Also, many of the Zoroastrians/Parsis living in India stopped eating beef out of respect, as it is sacred for the people of Dharmic religions; while it is an acceptable source of meat in Abrahamic religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Cow slaughter is shunned because of the cow's association with Lord Krishna in Hinduism, primarily due to Krishna's role as Gopala or Govinda, meaning "protector of cows" or "cowherd." This association reflects the importance of cows in Hindu culture and spirituality and because cattle have been an integral part of rural livelihoods as an economic necessity. Cattle slaughter has also been opposed by various Indian religions because of the ethical principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) and the belief in the unity of all life. Legislation against cattle slaughter is in place throughout most states and union territories of India.
