Looks like cows are sick

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 15 July 2015 12:06 PM

Those cows have more brains and will not vote for these buffoon politicians of SL. It is we, the proud patriotic buffalo citizens who will vote enmasse.

Why is this? Do they have any disease? to be dumped to Sri Lanka?

Jerome A Wednesday, 15 July 2015 09:29 AM

For a moment I thought more of the Rajapaksa Clan were returning to the country Pre Elections !

chandler Wednesday, 15 July 2015 02:36 AM

Please look at the eyes of cows, how scared these animals are. Hopefully, cows had been handled not in a cruel manner.

Like the port, airport, cricket stadium etc the cows too should be named RAJAPAKSE!

UnchiKun Tuesday, 14 July 2015 01:16 PM

Had it been the Rajapaksa regime, the cows would have been airlifted to Ambawela. Basil and his chairman then follows by helicopter. Oh! That is no more.

I think the God loves Hambantota people; when one old cow is removed from Hambantota to Kurunagala, it is replaced by stock of cows and that is from Australia.

Arjuna Ranawana Tuesday, 14 July 2015 01:06 PM

Unfortunately, the cows was off loaded at the Magampura, Hambantota Mahinda Rajapaksa Port for next election

Arjuna Ranawana Tuesday, 14 July 2015 01:04 PM

Jamis Banda Tuesday, 14 July 2015 01:03 PM

Amila Tuesday, 14 July 2015 12:53 PM

Hand over the cows who wasted 57000 million rupees to build useless this port to State farm, while 500 schools not having single toilet in the country.
