Whatever one may think about the idea of treating a bull as sacred, I would rather like to know more about just why it was decided that the animal should be slaughtered. As I understand it, it was effectively quarantined, and would have remained so. So what precisely was the risk? I don't pretend to know anything about the matter, but I think the Department of the Environment, or whoever (you see, I don't even know just who was responsible for the decision), should put their cards on the table and make their case - if indeed they have one.
