This is a World Cup of beef-eating countries

• DENISE Bennett writes about ritual slaughter of bulls at all stadiums of World Cup Finals (Letters, June 4).

Slaughter of cows is a source of global warming as it emits methane. 

Therefore I am rather surprised that the world body of football allow slaughter of bulls.

Beef-eating countries contribute to global warming. As almost all the countries who are playing at the World Cup Finals are 

beef-eating countries, world football authorities should give publicity as to how global warming can be reduced by not eating beef. Hindus are usually ridiculed in the west and by other beef-eating countries.

Besides other benefits in not eating beef, they are not contributing to the global warming. 

Imagine how much additional global warming the world has to experience if one billion Hindus also ate beef like the others.

Those who are against additional global warming must unite to stop ritual of slaughter of bulls at the World Cup Finals in South Africa to give a lead.
