| Delhi Cows? hi folks, i know that the delhi government is trying to round up as many cows as possible before the common wealth games: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/10/21/asia/delhi.php can anyone give me an idea (difficult i know) of just how well this undertaking is going? does one still find cows walking around in traffic? |

| The Supreme Court of Delhi (  ) said 'no cows on the road'.Unfortunately, those cows are outside their jurisdiction

| It's good to know they are rounded up and taken care of. Who pays for their care? The owners?
