I do feel sympathy for farmers who lose livestock, for whatever reason. I
wouldn't be surprised if many livestock farmers were to feel sympathy for
the Hindus, either, since they know what it is like to lose animals. This
particular case has additional cause for sympathy, however, because it
also
includes an act of sacrilege and the desecration of a place of worship.


There is a difference. Farmers are putting animals into the food
chain. The Hindus were not. It is unlikely that Shambo would ever have
been eaten by humans.



The farmer's motive for keeping a bull may well be different from the
Hindu's, but that doesn't mean the farmer wouldn't be upset if some
bureaucrat came onto his land and killed his bull.
