would you go to 'hell' for eating a holy cow? Very possibly, but because Hinduism is based on the idea of perpetual reincarnation, it ain't for eternity....  |

Hmm, eat diseased burger.. Die..... Get reincarnated as a cow..... Get adopted by Hinduism as a Holy Cow..... Wouldn't that be ironic. |

It would be if you caught TB and were made into a diseased burger...... ..and then get eaten with onions by a looney from a badpsychics web sites. And thus completes one revolution in the never ending and eternal circle of life... !! |

The Skanda Vale website now states that:
From what I can see, their whole argument with regards to Shambo seems to have been based around human rights, not the fact that Shambo was 'worshiped' (Hindus do not actually worship cows).
The Human Right issue was based on their beliefs being violated. They believe that all living things have the same rights as Humans and therefore killing Shambo would be against those beliefs.
I see no problem with that, except for the fact that nobody was forcing them to assist with the killing, or to kill the Bull themselves.
Working on their principle, every person and business who has killed an animal, has violated their beliefs and is in contravention of Article 9 of the Human Rights Act.

Im all for tolerance and relious freedom of expression etc, until it could cost somebody their life or livelyhood. If this animal was infected (and it was apparantly) it should have been destroyed regardless of what import the relious types placed on it. Religion will be around forever, but the infection that could spread to other people or animals needed to be destroyed.
If they found the hypothetical "true cross" and pilgrimmages were made to it, and they discovered for some ironic reason it was the source of ebola or west nile etc I wouldnt bat an eyelid as it burned, and I dont think any god would either, it is humans who place import on such things not deities.

It was quite interesting on the Welsh news yesterday. A NFU rep was talking about how there were no cameras at a farm where a number of calfs were slaughtered due to bovine TB not another farm where 3 cows were slaughtered for the same reason. The observation had been put forward by the distraught farmer's wife of the cows. She felt their animals were no less precious and the whole family were incredibly upset. She wanted it known that this happens on farms every day - for everyone's good - with no attention paid to it.
However. I'm glad they put the bullock to sleep rather than shoot it.
Personally, I don't understand in isolated cases why the animal can't be treated for bovine TB. Can anyone help with that please?

Haven't a clue, maybe it's down to the cost of the treatment, or the fact that it spreads so rapidly, they have to get a hold of it quickly by ending the animals life, thus controlling the contamination...?
