Here's another cow story on the blog.


April 3, 1996

Attitudes towards cattle are just one example of what happens when different cultures collide. Another one concerns funerals. A devout British Hindu is fighting for the legal right to be cremated on an open-air funeral pyre in Britain. (click here for the story).

Here is video of a sheep, which died of natural causes, being cremated in England. It was done to prove that open air-cremations can work without being offensive. It seem like an OK way to depart the planet.
