Shambo and the Skanda Vale Circus

Not surprisingly, two more animals at Skanda Vale have tested positive for BTB, and we can expect the circus that so far has cost the tax-payer £150,000 to continue.

The Hindu monks have vowed to resist any attempt to have a frail 20-year old bull and a water buffalo calf killed, and once again we can expect nutters of every conceivable shade and creed to join up with the usual crowd of animal rights activists and hysteric animal-loving old ladies to make a real circus once more!

The easy way – to accept the necessity of the slaughter to protect other animals and ultimately the public – would be the last option considered by these people!

Indeed, the frontline people in this case are all westerners, and a spokesman for the Hindu Council has stated that it would be more in line with Hindu spirituality to sacrifice the infected animals for the common good…

But that would of course mean missing out on a second chance to media’s attention.
