Guest (2): Why doesn't the Krsna consciousness movement stop cow slaughter? Every day five thousand cows are being slaughtered.
Prabhupada: Yes, we are teaching don't eat meat. So "don't eat meat" means don't slaughter cows and goats and everyone. You are after stopping cow slaughter, but you are advocating goat slaughter. But we are not for any slaughter. Don't eat meat, that's all.
