I disagree with that. Cows are sacred to Hindus, pigs are abhorred by Muslims. Most (all?) Muslim countries have minority groups that eat pigs. That’s fine. However, a Muslim eating a cow in India could easily lead to a really bad time.
There is no actual Islamic punishment for eating pigs, at least not one that I heard of. But who knows with the way people “laissez faire” do religion these days [see conservative Christian Americans calling some of Jesus’ teachings too woke].
P.S even if they occasionally get things right, islamqa.info is a fundamentalist site that follows a very recent ideology that isnt what most muslims believe, and against the established schools of law in islam. Best not to use it.

Is there an alternative that you can recommend? Thank you for your advice.
Aren’t cows what you reincarnate into if you fuck up enough? Like they’re the lowest of all, so being kind to them is virtuous.
Interesting. I have never heard of that. I heard of a Hindu diety once being a cowherd in a specific incarnation however.
Honestly I don’t know if it’s true, hence the question. I saw an Indian person talking about it once, but it’s a hard topic to research in English.
I don’t know myself. However, it does seem unlikely that being a cockroach is somehow an improvement to an animal that is treated and protected well.
