[edit] Neutrality

I've been writing about this story from the day it happened and this article doesn't really show the RSPCA side of things. Words like "lovingly" and the fact it's mostly written by a username linked to Bhaktivedanta manor also don't do it any neutrality favours. I'll try my best to clean it up a bit as it's quite a big issue that deserves an article as big as the Shambo. Jellypuzzle | ^Talk 16:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you are right that it is a big issue and deserves an article as big as Shambo. However I am not aware of any factual inaccuracies in this article, plus they have all been properly sourced. If you feel that there are, please point them out.

Also the word "lovingly" can also be sourced and frankly is not really disputed by the RSPCA or by anybody else for that matter. This is a animal sanctuary donated by George Harrison. The point is that Gangotri was akin to a beloved pet dog or cat as opposed to the vast majority of cows in Britain which are raised solely to be slaughtered for food. So a statement like "Many Britons treat their pets like family" or "Many Britons treat their pets lovingly" would be a factual statement which can be sourced through polls and other evidence. However if you feel that the statement should be reworded that can certainly be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.186.169.33 (talk) 16:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
