I asked a question recently about the juror who was "allegedly" (I use the word advisedly as I was NOT present there at the time of incident...) listening to her mp3 under her hijab.. and wondered if our judges are "extra mindful" of not upsetting any religious groups...

Today, I am asking the same question... only re the judge deciding that it's ok for ALL farmers whose cattle have a negative tb test to be put down... EXCEPT THIS ANIMAL.. on the grounds of QUOTE "But a judge ruled it would infringe the community's rights under Article Nine of the European Convention on Human Rights covering freedom of religion. "

Whilst I accept other faiths and thier cultures, nevertheless, farmers in West WALES and other parts of UK and Ireland have lost valuable livestock over the YEARS from not only a negative tb test, but QUESTIONABLE tb negative tests also..

There is a reason for this test.. but not for this particular bullock..?
