<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->TB is a nasty disease, on the increase, with
increasingly drug resistant starins. The control
measures for TB in cattle were not lightly
introduced. There are there for the health and
safety of cattle and humans. Hindus knew the
law of the land when they set up the temple. If
they now say they will only obey those particular
laws they like and ignore the rest, then they will
do themselves irreparable harm in this country.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> Shambo's owners appear to put animals and humans on an equal footing. If so, they're barking mad. They should be told the difference between humans and animals. We are their masters and we are entitled to kill them, especially if its for the protection of ourselves and other animals and the livlihood of the farming community among whom these people reside. If I was a local farmer in that part of Wales, I'd want to take a shotgun and despatch the blasted animal myself.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I believe this issue is simple. Carry out the slaughter of this bull! Reasons behind my statement are also simple. Religion is a belief! A belief which changes with each individual and in most cases are also tweaked to suit individuals needs etc. With this in mind, and knowing the implications of TB being transmitted into humans or other farm animals I don't see why a new healthy animal wouldn't suffice and be just in this situation. Oviously this bull isn't sacred, or it would never have gotten this disease in the first place! I hope our country and people living within it will see that common sence is a great gift to have. And with that, a simple choice will be made!

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->There is nothing to discuss. It is the law and must be applied to all equally. It is for the Govenmental authorities to determine if this bull has TB, not temple-appointed officials. If it has and the law requires its slaughter, it is outrageous that anyone would consider circumventing that law for any religion, <b>let alone a foreign one.</b> Personally I consider it equally outrageous that Halal & Kosher slaughter techniques are currently given special dispensation to operate outside our normal laws that animals must be effectively stunned before cutting their throats.

Oh!! So maybe there are certain domestic religions of inglistan, while Hindoo is foreign!
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->You come to our country, you abide by our laws. Simple as that. The law is the same for everyone, what could be fairer than that?
Tolerance of other beliefs is healthy and right. But Britain is the only country I know where it's taken to such a ridiculous extreme, where the "rights" of ethnic minorities seem more important than keeping the law of the land and protecting public health.
Hindus have a responsibility to obey British law while living on British soil - just like everyone else who lives in Britain.
Common sense? Apparently not to our lily-livered government!

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I'm sorry but the Hindu population of this country should be reminded of where they are. If the animal poses a health threat, it must be destroyed. This is the result when 'foreign' cultures clash with those of the adopted country.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I am an atheist from a Hindu background. Why do some Hindus create a situation where other Hindus are criticised?
The people who dont want the bull/cow to be culled should take responsibility for the anti-Hindu feelings it evokes, because they are treading many boundaries. Is the cow a Hindu? Why dont the same people protest when other cows are killed?

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If a group of 'Druids'(a very old religion) from the UK settled in India, what do you suppose would happen if they chose to carry out some of their religious beliefs, like:
Publicly slaughtering a lovely great cow on a stone alter in New Delhi.
Yes I can imagine the tolerant, respectful and peaceful Hindus wandering by in multicultural bliss, as the British pagans Slit the cowâs throat, smear the blood over themselves and dance around the fire.
We are not in INDIA this is the UK. As such we get to live by our rules. If you canât put up with them well thatâs tough.
