The BBC demonstrates how to milk a news story to death by running the Hindu cow story again today.
The bullock in question has tested positive for TB.
Perhaps BBC Wales will bring their brassy reporters and cameras in a few months time and televise bullocks coughing-up blood should TB take hold in the area.

In a bizarre twist common sense has been thrown out in a court case, the poison filled beast Shambo has been allowed to endanger the population with bovine tb.This is nothing more than a pc move designed to appease some Buddist types the health of the rest of the population has been put in danger by this action.More here: BBC reports on poison filled tb reactor being allowed to live.From David Miliband we have this piece of fluff: http://www.davidmiliband.defra.gov.uk/blogs/ministerial_blog/archive/2007/05/11/9431.aspxMahatma Gandhi, truly one of the great figures of the 20th century, believed that the protection of cows was one of the true signs of the Hindu faith. It is for that reason that the case of Shambo, reported in many newspapers, raises such a high degree of concern for many...
From The Sun:SHAMBO the poisonous tb reactor bull will live to see another weekend, another weekend where it threatens to contaminate people with bovine tb, as a decision on whether he should be put down has been bottled out of until Monday. Throughout today the Welsh Arsembly has battled in court with Hindu leaders over the tb reactors fate.Six-year-old Friesian Shambo - considered sacred in Hindu culture - was handed a death sentence after testing positive for exposure to bovine tuberculosis.

On Thursday the over paid talking shop(The Welsh Arsembly) decide the fate of tb reactor Shambo, a poison filled bovine that should have been slaughtered as soon as it was tested positive.Alas David Milliband, passed the buck onto the Welsh Assembly and so the law has not been enacted for fear of offending some people under the misguided belief the Shambo is some sort of God.Shambo the tb reactor lives in the Community of the Many Names of God in the Welsh Village of Llanpumsaint – the Church of five saints.Alas toss pot libelist Paul Flynn is spouting lots of hot air about how bovine tb is not leathal: I direct people to this. Fine the misguided comment to Flynn that bovine tb is harmless: Paul Flynn talks out of his arse...again. And even a bit on a death from the BBC: Report of...

At last. Finally this danger to the countryside is going to be put down. TB reactor Shambo to be put down. On Tuesday, rural affairs minister, Jane Davidson said she was minded to proceed with an order to put him down. - Well thats jolly nice of her, taken the woman long enough to do the right thing. A slaughter order in May, caused outcry among Hindus and others at the multi-faith Skanda Vale community. The Many Names of God is a monastic centre which embraces all faiths and includes three Hindu shrines. - Still theres always someone who thinks the law doesn't apply to them. The six-year-old black Friesian tested positive for bovine TB during a routine screening on 27 April. But Hindu monks at the temple in Llanpumpsaint, launched a worldwide campaign to save the animal, saying it...
Shambo the cow that has tested positive for tb should be destroyed, yet still nothing has been done on this. David Miliband passed the buck on the tb reactor Shambo, giving us this fine piece of fluff: http://www.davidmiliband.defra.gov.uk/blogs/ministerial_blog/archive/2007/05/11/9431.aspxMahatma Gandhi, truly one of the great figures of the 20th century, believed that the protection of cows was one of the true signs of the Hindu faith. It is for that reason that the case of Shambo, reported in many newspapers, raises such a high degree of concern for many British Hindus. Their representatives have written to me about their concern.Shambo is part of a herd of cattle cared for by the Skanda Vale Temple in Wales. Shambo has tested positive for bovine TB, which as many people know is a...
