live cow fails to plug mud hole
Dec 30^th, 2006 at 3:54pm

In an effort to stem the flow of mud from a drilling operation gone wrong, indonesians have taken to throwing whole live cows and other animals into the boiling mud. Not just for fun, but in expectation that it would stop the flow. Maybe if they dropped a really big cow, or an elephant, from a great height it might do something. If anything, the sacrifices appear to have made the flow worse, and whole villages have been swamped to a height of up to two stories.

I thought indonesia was a strong islamic country. Does this go against the teachings of islam, or is it fairly tolerant of this sort of 'mysticism'?

I hadn't heard that. How sickening. What a cruel, ignorant world we live in - although I suppose human life means so little, who cares about animals. Well I certainly do being an ardent animal lover, but animal welfare seems to be waning these days as the mighty dollar becomes the single most important God in so many lives.

When you hear a story like this - another tragedy in a third world country, you wonder if the perpetrators of this mudslide will be brought to justice - or because of their wealth, get off with the usual slap on the wrist.

Re: live cow fails to plug mud hole Reply #2 - Jan 1^st, 2007 at 4:40pm The comapny responsible is being forced to pay compensation. An Australian company, Santos, has a big share in it. There was also a small earthquake in the area before it happened, which may have had something to do with it. The company is also part funding a soap opera set in the aftermath of the incident.

I hope the soap opera is not being made to portray this tragedy. Santos has been warned before - I didn't realise they were involved.

We always hear that these big corporations will pay compensation - but often it is never received.

This will no doubt happen in Australia eventually as more and more laws are relaxed for foreign mining companies and safety regulations for their workers are downgraded.

They only throw cows because FleaDriver is not available to the Indonesians.

FleaDriver has excavated a story that is decades old and for which there is no evidence.

Yes, Santos was involved in creating the mud volcano disaster.

Another act of hate propagation by FleaDriver.

Maybe next they will start throwing people down this hole to block it up.

Such is the world these days....... Angry

It is impossible for a man or even a group of men to "throw" a live cow. Lies and slander and hate propaganda.
