1/11/2006: Cattle sacrifice

[Sun_Sparkz]

They dont look very neatly severed.

I saw how cattle were treated in Indonesia on my recent trip there, i think i'd prefer to be a (brutally) severed head too.

Im probably wrong - but i thought most indonesians were budhist? dont budhists worship bovine?

They don't.
Point taken.
I think you may be thinking of Hindus. The buddhist position on vegetarianism varies among the very many sects of buddhism and its practioners. There are probably as many, if not more iterations of buddhism as there are of Christianity. Generally speaking, the cow is not more special than a cloud to a good buddhist who is in the throws of the absolute. Relatively speaking, they maybe have more compassion for the cow than for a cloud. Depends on the mood you catch them in.
