NEPALESE GETS 12 YEARS JAIL FOR KILLING COW

KATHMANDU: A court in Nepal, the world's only Hindu Kingdom, has jailed a woman for 12 years after finding her guilty of killing and eating a sacred cow, local media said yesterday.

The cow is the national animal of Nepal where the crime of killing one is, punishable by up to 12 years' prison.

Kripa Bhoteni, 50, was sentenced last Tuesday by a district court in Sankhwasabha, 470 km east of here, the daily Kantipur newspaper reported.

She was arrested some two weeks ago after he police found DRIED BEEF in her house. - AFP.
 
lol, even if you kill a human in a western country you don't get 12 years...lol

12 years in jail for killing a cow..haha
 
Good Grief, I hope Ronald Mc Donalds doesn't get sentenced there, he would get a million years.

Thanks

Was thinking that too.

But Heigou i agree with you if she lived in a Country where the Cow was Sacred then she should have respected thier beliefs. This dont seem strange to me personally i feel that if you go against the law of religion in that country then you should be punished.
 
I'm all for animal rights, but this seems a bit excessive!
 
assalamu alikum...

loooooooooooooooooooooooooool

im glad i aint livin there...i eat cow !!!!
 
Kill a cow, go to jail? Seems primitive doesn't it? Well some religions believe have consenual sex with another person you not married to or try to worship another god- get killed by tortureous stoning- seems even more primitive to me.

I don't know but someone in the Gulf wants to jail a Western business manager for accidentally throwing what he thought was old waste paper into a bin. It turned out they were copies of parts of the Quran.

What people decide is Holy is, surely, up to them?
 
Actually when it's come to Quranic verses, even Muslims or arabic literate people sometime couldn't differentiate between Quranic verses, or romantic novel written in arabic.:rollseyes
 
this is beyond hilarious!!! Its like something out of the twighlight zone. The more i read it the more ridiculous it sounds!

people ridicule us saying such things as we say "adultery is worse then murder" but look at that, killing a cow is worse then murder LOL

:sl:

Killing a cow in Nepal is worse than murder in Britain perhaps. But then you would have to ask whether she will serve that sentence (all murderers do a notional "life" sentence is Britain) and what the penalty for murder is in Nepal. Compare like with like.

Why does it sound ridiculous? The comparison is with the Westerner who has had to flee the Gulf for accidentally throwing away a Quran or the response of Muslims to the cartoons - I assure you neither incident looks much more sensible than this one to someone from outside the Faith. Only the wearer can know where the shoe pinches. Only the Believer can know what is blasphemous. I suggest if you want respect for your sacred objects, you need to show respect for others'.
