Cow drowned in the sea for being impregnated

To cut a ridiculous story short: man gets cow pregnant, cow killed, owner of cow forced into penury due to lack of income from cow, man forfeits his trousers!
And this is a ritual ceremony that has gone on for generations! I suppose they do love their cows in that area and it's no biggy?

But hey! it's their religious belief and we should not mock in case it causes offence and hurts their feelings.

"Villagers from Julah in Tejakula, Buleleng, tow a pregnant cow behind a boat into open sea as part of a local traditional ritual.

The cow, which is five months pregnant, was thrown out to the sea about 3 kilometers from land Monday. The villagers believe the animal was impregnated by a village elder.

During the ritual the man, who was caught red-handed having sexual intercourse with the cow two months ago, joined the boat trip in order to throw away his clothes to to symbolize him discarding his sins.

Julah customary village head Ketut Sidemen said the ritual, called gamya gamana, or freak weeding, and had been conducted there for generations. The decision to perform the ritual was made a local residents meeting.

In line with customary regulations, the perpetrator, identified only as PS, 70, was sanctioned to fund the expensive ceremony, which aimed to cleanse him of any bad influences.

Luh Ketut Suryani, a professor and activist, deplored the sanction against PS.

She said drowning a cow was baseless because sexual intercourse between a human being and am animal could not cause pregnancy due to the different chromosomes and genes of the two.

"The cow is not guilty, why should it be drowned? Why don't just use a symbol like what was done by the perpetrator?" she said.

Suryani's said she was concerned dealt with the financial situation of the owner, who lives below the poverty line.

"The cow, which has a high price, had to be thrown away. It will be a pity for the owner, who is already poor and is now forced to lose his priceless belonging." -- "JP/Alit Kertaraharja

ostrich!

He was OK, until the ostrich took fright and shot off across the desert - he couldn't keep in step.

Messy business ... sh*t and feathers everywhere, mostly on him.

This is a load of crap. Inter species pregnancies between human and anything other than primates are totally impossible. *EDIT* oops if i read the whole thing I would have seen the point was already made hehe *

Having said that, it would actually be quite nice if your steak dinner could also do chores in the house before hand.

But it will be fun if cows start revolting. I mean they should revolt. Look at the way they are treated.

This wonderful song @ the results of cows reading "Che Guevara" philosophy is inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm".

When my ex girlfriend proclaimed that she was pregnant, I took a boat ride from Blackpool pier and discarded my clothes as a mark of penance.

This ofcourse absolved me of all blame and I can now live in Doha without guilt or having to pay child support..
