Yeah I get that as a civilized society we should probably be working toward respecting all species of animals but every time I see this 'how is it different than eating any other animal" argument, I cringe.

There are legitamately cultures who live with a cow in their homes as they provide a natural way to warm up the house.
Another perspective to look at how domesticated the animal is. A cow, alone will barely survive in the wild. A dog has a higher chance of survival. Does it mean that the Cow is more domesticated than the dog? Cows dont compete with humans on food, help till land, provide manure for crops.
