Slaughter of innocent cows

Referring to Jubel D'Cruz's letter in Asian Voice (14th March 2015), the majority government in India can decide on banning the slaughter of cows.
Cows are worshipped by the majority of indigenous Hindus of India and since ancient times, cows have been very useful in many respects to the farming nation. Plus, due to its beneficial and non violent role, it has permanently become part of the Hindu culture and religion.
It is absurd to think that a lot of Hindus eat beef; and incase they start to eat beef, the writer [Jubel D'Cruz] will not be able to buy the meat (whether it's cheap or expensive, tasty or tasteless) due to its certain scarcity in that event.
Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God has said, “If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.”
The writer has not even been struck on one cheek, yet in spite of this, he is prepared to strike hard blows on the cheeks of his assumed enemy!
