Farmers in India are giving ibuprofen to their cows to stop the pains of arthritis and old age. Cows are not killed for food in India because they are believed to be gods, and they also embody the person of the farmer's ancestor. So, killing an animal because it is suffering could well mean that the farmer would be killing his grandmother who was reincarnated as a cow.
The irony is, grandmother may have come back as a vulture after she died as a human. So, the farmers are conceivably killing off their grandmothers or other family members in their new incarnation.
Hinduism is a tricky religion. You just cannot seem to win. Mahatma Gandhi once said of the Hindu doctrine of 12,000 reincarnations, "It is a burden too heavy to bear." Gandhi was bored and troubled by Hinduism, but he refused to confess faith in Jesus Christ.

Psalms 75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
