The judge said the cow’s death would interfere with the community’s right to “manifest” its religious beliefs under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

**************************************

• Evan Thomas, who represents the Farmers' Union of Wales on the Welsh Assembly's TB action group, said: "This ludicrous ruling contradicts the principles upon which successful TB eradication programmes throughout the world have been based for generations.

  "It seems that the British justice system is now content to put human health and animal welfare at grave risk.

  "What will happen if in six months' time this animal is coughing up blood and is so emaciated that it cannot hold its own weight? Will the judge make a similar ldecision?"

  Mr Thomas said tests on other animals in the Skanda Vale herd had already shown worrying signs of potential infection.

  He said: "This area has suffered the ravages of TB for years and this ruling has infuriated all those farmers who have lost thousands of animals to this disease.

  "The fact that the judgment will now place their farms at greater risk will further dishearten an already depressed community."

Farmers have condenmed a "ludicrous" High Court decision to reprieve a bull infected with TB because it was worshipped by a religious community.

I was under the impression that they thought cows were reincarnations of their relatives or something. They worship cows too? I'll wait for confirmation before taking a reporter's word on it.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

DNR - Bovine Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious disease caused when bacteria attack the respiratory system. There are three types of TB - human, avian, and bovine. Human TB is rarely transmitted to non-humans, avian TB is typically restricted to birds (pigs and occasionally other animals have been found to be susceptible), and bovine TB - or cattle TB - is the most infectious, capable of infecting most mammals. Bovine TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) which is part of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.

the same judicial system that prevents a teenager from wearing a small and unobtrusive ring to school (citing religious markings on it) imposes this unhealthy cow upon the citizenry?

just incredible!

so...um...is it a bull or a cow? It’s refered to as both in the article. There is a bit of a difference between the two that should be noticable... LOL

the slaughter would contravene the human rights superstitions of the Skanda Vale Community,
