Hindus value all life forms, and respect the rights of all creatures. Instead of using and abusing animals, by slaughtering and consuming them, Hindus are compassionate, and are aware of the importance to live and let live. All Hindus do not touch beef, as it is Krishna's holy cow, the 'kaamdhenu', sacred and worshiped. Most Hindus afford the same treatment to most animals.
