In lots of nomadic Cultures, cattle was and is a statussymbol and an indicator of wealth. Killing cattle is seen as destroying wealth and status.

In hinduistic religions protectiong cows is a very important element. For most Hindus cows are untouchable. Even for those, who don't consider them holy, cows are important symbols and killing cattle is for most of them unthinkable.
