fight, has been killed After a positive test for TB, an order was made for his slaughter, in keeping with the law However, the multi-faith community where he lived went to court to try to save him as he was a sacred animal to Hindus A High Court judge said that the order to kill him was unlawful, but the decision was overturned in the Appeal Court Police had to be called in as worshipper had formed a human shield around the animal to stop him being taken away Opinion is very divided on the issuesome believe that he was a danger to the national herd and needed to be killed, while others feel that religious beliefs should be respected and the community had offered to provide sufficient measures to ensure that he would not infect any other animals if he contracted the disease as they planned to isolate him The authorities cut through the security fence and led the bull away The following morning they announced that he had been given a lethal injection The debate on the issue is unlikely to end with the death of Shambo and may widen into a debate about the policy of killing cows that test positive for TB Read the passage and decide if the following statements are TRUE (T) or

covered the Earth Modern man has only been around for four hours During the last hour man discovered agriculture The Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just six hours ago During the short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth In one minute, he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals He has
