Yet another example of Western thought coming into conflict with Eastern culture. In this case there is a solution which might allow the Hindus to keep their Sacred Bull and will also protect humans and other animals from infection. The Animal Health Act 2001 allows for ill animals to be treated rather than slaughtered in all cases. Slaughtering Shambo would 'violate' tradition say Hindu forum |

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1anyway the foot and mouth thing... was isolated to a lab in England, owned by a US concern.
The aer rianta controls are something else with bristling security and pads round the place.
our last outbreak in 2001 saw the cancellation of St patrick's Day parades and the Horse
Show.
There is , as yet, no release on whether criminal charges will follow regarding the release
of toxins into the Uk Countryside.
My understanding, from reading "Private Eye" is thus:
Farmers won't support an exemption for the sacred bull, because they see this as a complete double standard - they are under the same rules. I know that in Ireland, domestic pets are not regulated by the department of agriculture - would there be a possible loop-hole there in the UK?
Also: my understanding is that a more thorough test to see if an animal actually has the disease for sure (this current test is by no means proof positive, but more a statistical correlation); however, Private Eye's "Muckspreader" says that this could then be used to zone in on infected Badger setts, and since this is politically unacceptable, the poor bull has to be sacrificed.
I know I count on poor Irish peoples' support, because your lives are so without glamour and fun you need me - and also because my press team have checked your justice records and noted drink driving is ok if you're rich or powerful.
I'm both.
