"Our arguments are still the same. We still believe in the sanctity of life. Killing is not an option for us."

A spokesman for the Skanda Vale temple.

An eight-month-old water buffalo calf named Dakshini and a 20-year-old Friesian bull called Bhakti now face the same fate as Shambo.

A further five animals at the temple have given inconclusive results after being tested by Welsh Assembly Government vets.

Six-year-old Shambo was slaughtered last week after Hindu monks lost a three-month legal battle to save him.

A spokesman for the Skanda Vale temple in Carmarthenshire said: 'We hope the Welsh Assembly takes a cooperative approach so we do not get the same outcome as with Shambo.

'Our arguments are still the same. We still believe in the sanctity of life. Killing is not an option for us.'

Shambo was taken away by animal health officials last Thursday and was put down by lethal injection.

"Our arguments are still the same. We still believe in the sanctity of life. Killing is not an option for us."
