Monks to sue RSPCA over cow

Saffron-robed monks are due to serve legal papers on the RSPCA, as part of an ongoing dispute over the charity's slaughter of a sacred cow.

Gangotri, a 13-year-old Belgian blue-jersey cross, was put down on welfare grounds in December by vets from the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals.

But campaigners claim the "mercy killing" was illegal and took place while members of Bhaktivedanta Manor, near Watford, Hertfordshire, Europe's largest Hindu temple, were at worship.
