The ridiculous farce surrounding the slaughter of an infected bull in South Wales demonstrates that irrationality and intransigence are as much characteristic of 'enlightened' beings of a higher caste as they are of the 'ignorant'. Read this and laugh, and note, yet again, that those who vigorously assert the right to respect for their own values, morality and opinions (recte superstitions) see nothing at all incongruous in showing complete disregard and profound disrespect for the values, morality, opinions and, more importantly, the health and safety of others. Respect for the 'sanctity' of Shambo's life might be commendable were it not for the threat Shambo's continued existence poses to so many others.
Religious zealotry is just another form of bigotry, and is no more respectable than any other.
