According to tradition, the cow is the first animal to be seen by the creator Brahma and is considered sacred. This means that killing it is considered a sin in Hinduism.

I thought the cows were sacred because they were spiritually representative of something in Hinduism, I've never heard of what you said about Brahma. Can you link me to a source that backs up your claim?

Let me just check on that. Here’s a source: http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/10219/why-are-cows-seen-as-holy-in-hinduism

That link doesn't go anywhere, but it's interesting that the beginning of your link has the word judaism in it. Does judaism have any relationship with cows?
