    Isn't the Weekly World News akin to the Enquirer? Hard to trust a news source that puts out stories about the Bat Boy and how to sell your soul, lol. Either that or it was meant to be funny and it went right over my pmsing head. If so, my apologies for being dense!

    It wouldn't load for me either, I had to go to the media directory and search for it. Oddly though now when I look Sabre's picture loaded within the discussion but it didn't load before, it only showed the link and when I went to it it was a black page. It shows now though. Strange.

    It is a picture of a cow and has text that says:

    The Bull That Cried

    Reported by Weekly World News, in Hong Kong, a group of workers took a bull to the slaughterhouse. They were about to enter the facility when the bull suddenly stopped and knelt on it's front paws.

    The bull was crying.

    Shiu, one of the workers, claims he started to shiver seeing those "scared and sad eyes" and, as much as they tried to pull the bull inside, it wouldn't move and just stood there sobbing like a child.

    The workers were not able to slay it, also tearing up at the sight, collecting funds to buy the animal and deliver it to the care of the monks of a nearby temple.

    Apparently, when they said they would not kill it, the bull got up and followed them.

    Interesting and sad, if true. Thank you for posting that clarification, karasti.

    We must have deep respect and gratitude for all we eat. Something must always suffer for another's meal, vegetarian or not.

    It was a pleasure to check out the source of this story, the "Weekly World News" where headlines also proclaimed, "Global Cooling Threatens Earth!" "U.S. Confirms Existence of Mermaids" and "President Obama Gets a Tattoo" (of his own face).

    I just knew I was under-informed!

    Okay folks.
    It was a nice story.
    Let's just forget it, ok?

    :D
