Hari Bol,
Well I have a question which cropped up in my mind after pondering over the the topic of action and reaction. Is it like that the cows which are getting slaughtered is because of their previous misdeeds/karma. Does it mean that they will get slaughtered no matter how hard we will try to save them.?

Dear devotee,
Please read Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1, Chapter 17 "Punishments and rewards of Kali".
Here it is given how the cow killing started.
Hare KRsna PRabhuji,
PAMHO.
There is no karma in animal yoni. One gets an animal form of life becuase of karma done in human form and consciousness developed when as a human being. Then from one animal form to the next, as a progressive succession, till one gets a human form. Cow yoni is a very pious yoni and is considered the last birth before a human form - the most coveted body form for all.
To answer your question, it is not the cows' karma that it is getting slaughtered, it is our karma that we are slaughtering cows, who is go mata, most sacred animal.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Rashmi
