Dothead cow "god" is turned into steak
Backwards cultists weep as their false idol becomes so much beefburger.
I suspect this is the liberal media putting their PC spin on their story: more likely, Sambo was HIV-positive after having been enthusiastically mounted by one of these heathen Hindaloos. Still, one has to marvel at the sheer idiocy of these cow-worshippers: venerating any old cow just wouldn't be moronic enough, they had to seek out the most mangy, disease-ridden old beast they could find!
[quote]For the authorities and police, simply getting close to Shambo was always going to be problematic. The 20 monks and five nuns who preside over the temple ceremonies, known as poojas, vowed to do everything they could to stop the authorities getting near Shambo, who had been isolated from the rest of the herd in the entrance to the main temple since his test.
PRAISE! People often stereotype bureaucrats as having no sense of humour, but the folk over at DEFRA must be comic geniuses! 
Much as I hate to admit it, the pagan has a point: it'd have been much simpler and cheaper to just pull a Waco on these dotheads.
Another important lesson: when Jesus has it in for you, He really has it in for you.
And this is why we're not racists: these stoned white children make even Mehijixicans look smart. This Delyth Howells person deserves to be nominated for a "worst Christian ever" award.
This cow AIDS or whatever it is is clearly spreading like the Dickens among this unwashed cowcult. I'd say the decent, humane thing to do is just to bomb the place (I would say "into the stone age", but that's pretty much where they're starting off from anyway) now.

Supporters said yesterday that the timing of the operation to slaughter Shambo was particularly insensitive because it coincided with the temple's largest annual festival, a two-week devotion to the main presiding deity, Subramanium.

Brother Francis, 38, who became a monk 15 years ago, said: "It's bad enough that they've come to take Shambo but to come during the middle of our most important festival is horrendously insensitive."

Sister Carol, one of five women to have taken the Franciscan vow of celibacy, poverty and obedience that makes a Skanda Vale devotee a monk or nun, was particularly critical of the money that she believed had been wasted by the government fighting over Shambo.
"They never wanted to negotiate from the beginning," she said. "But what exactly have they managed to achieve? Ultimately it's cost them almost a quarter of a million pounds to kill a bull."

The loss of Shambo is the second significant blow to the Skanda Vale community this year. Earlier this month, as the fight over Shambo first went to court, the temple's founder, a man known to his followers as Guru Sri Subramanium, died.
He had been ill for some time and had been staying in the hospice that the temple provides for both followers and locals.

For more than 30 years, deep in the heart of Western Wales, a small but dedicated group of largely Western-born men and women have chosen to forego their societies' materialism in favour of a life of poverty, chastity and worship.
Despite Skanda Vale's isolated location-it lies four miles up a potholed track and mobile phone reception is non-existent-more than 60,000 pilgrims make their way to the temple each year.
Although the gods worshipped there and the form that worship takes is noticeably Hindu, like the first temple in London Skanda Vale is nondenominational.
It is one of the few places in the world where the priests administering pooja are predominantly white. Yesterday's crowd were a typically eclectic collection of believers. Swiss Hindu converts sat next to Asian Hindus from London, who sat singing next to local Christians.
Delyth Howells, who described herself as a Christian but one that had "learned more about Christ in Skanda Vale than from anything taught in church", said she had been visiting the temple for more than 20 years.

Last night the battle was lost. But three other members of the temple's herd of cattle are showing signs of exposure to the TB bacteria. Whether DEFRA and the Welsh Assembly will have the stomach for another fight like yesterday's remains to be seen.
