Hindus worship cows. Many Orthodox Hindus drink cow urine. They believe cow’s urine cures all diseases.
Many Muslims drink camel urine.
Muhammad asked his followers to drink camel urine. Islamic holy books have talked about camel urine.
Narrated Anas:Some people from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine).
Anas b. Malik reported that some people belonging (to the tribe) of ‘Uraina came to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) at Medina, but they found its climate uncongenial. So Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to them: If you so like, you may go to the camels of Sadaqa and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right.
‘A tradtionalist told me from one who had told him from Muhammad b. Talha from Uthman v. Abdul-Rahman that in the raid of Muharib and B. Thalaba the apostle had captured a slave called Yasar, and he put him in charge of his milch-camels to shepherd them in the neighborhood of al-Jamma. Some men of Qays of Kubba of Bajila came to the apostle suffering from an epidemic and enlarged spleens, and the apostle told them that if they went to the milch camels and drank their milk and their urine they would recover, so off they went.’
Muhammad believed camel urine had medicinal value and prescribed it to cure diseases. Probably he learnt it from bedouin Arabs.
Let me know if any other animal urine is considered holy.
yeah muhammed own urine is considered as holy see this
Imam Jalal al-Din Suyuti reports from Abu Ya’la, Hakim, Dar Qutni, Tabarani and Abu Nu’aym from Umm Ayman May Allah be pleased with her, who said, ‘the Prophet got up one night and urinated in a bowl. During that night, I rose in the state of thirst so I drank whatever was in the bowl. In the morning I told Him what I had done to which He smiled and said, ‘surely you will never have pain in your stomach’’. Abu Ya’ala’s wordings are as follows, ‘you will never feel stomach pain as of today’

I don’t know that there are any religious rituals involved, but Reindeer urine is drunk because it is hallucinogenic.
Ooooh, how sophisticated! I am happy that they find cows to be sacred, though. I am an avid vegetarian. The less slaughter of innocent cows, the better.
