I hope people forgive the whole tongue in cheek heading. I for one, am glad that the same law of the land applies to the Hindu’s as well as the farmers who have lost their cattle in the Bovine Tuberculosis culls. Why should an animal be allowed to live, whilst posing a potential threat in terms of infection? Since when did religion give way to common sense?
We as Christians have a responsibility. To live by the law of the land, until it conflicts with the law of God. How can we live in the face of such injustice? That many farmers (I am related by relationship to some organic meat farmers) should suffer at the hands of our government and yet the hindu ‘god’ should live. That is not right. I for one applaud the strength of choice taken by the court of appeal. Yes, I understand that animals suffer, and so do men. God gave us a command to have dominion of the animals of the land. Think about this - natural selection - we should have lost (if) we were cavemen, trying to develop weapons… No, God kick-started farming and everything associated with it. Meat and all.
I know some people will find this offensive. If it makes you think about the state of things, then good. Try this:
Animals have never developed political, judicial and economic systems. Why have we? Whether this leads you to God, I do not know. But…
Can you imagine Lemurs becoming Maoist? Or Wildebeest adopting a democratic system, and peacefully protesting about the crocodiles that eat them during their migrations?

No.

I’m sorry, but many people go on about equality for all, and yet this goverment panders to the needs of the minorities - I am glad that someone had the balls (pardon my language) to stand up to this tide of ‘equality’ and say no.
Strong words and opinions from a strong minded Christian? Yes. There could be more. But I hear the sound of pitchforks being sharpened already. Get over this. It’s a cow. Animals don’t have faith, cannot save you, and do not have any influence over you (unless you’re worshipping them). Jesus came to be a sacrifice, a blood offering to stop all blood offerings. Jesus was not a cow, a dog, a sacred frog. He was God, in human form, come to save mankind from his sins, and in His resurrection we have victory.
Now it’s late, I’m going to sleep.
