Cow drowned into the sea for being impregnated by human
2008-10-29
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 sancation 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.
Always the scientist, huh perfesser ...
"The cow is not guilty, why shoud 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."

#16  He wasn't having intercourse with the cow, he was just trying to push her through the fence.

#12  It's really the cow's fault. This wouldn't have happened if she was wearing a burkha. With one eye blacked out, of course.

Or if the temptress was accompanied by a male bull relative.

#7  The bad news is if you get caught doing the huma humpa you can do the "traditional" gamya gamana in expiation. Dumma dumma.

The bad news is you get to pay for the good times.

They forgot his middle name: P. Of S.

#6  tu: of course not. He's a man. Money will solve any problem of his which isn't associated with an actual [shudder] woman.

#3  I guess ALL rape victims are persecuted in that part of the world.

#2  Sure it does not sound fair the cow is raped then executed for being raped. But this is still a step up from Islam where this same law applies to women.
