Cow Shit Hits The Fan In Israel

To maintain ongoing peace with their neighbors, Israel is insisting on "deodorizing" a cow quarantine facility located on the border with Jordan.

Jordanian King Abdullah II has complained of bovine odors coming from the Israeli side of the frontier along the countries' shared southern border, Israel's environment minister said Monday.

Speaking to Israel Radio, Gideon Ezra said the smells, from a livestock quarantine facility, were blown across the frontier toward the king's palace in the town of Aqaba, on the Red Sea next to the Israeli town of Eilat. Jordanian officials contacted Israel last week and requested the odors be neutralized, Ezra said.

Jordan and Israel, enemies for decades, signed a peace agreement in 1994 and now enjoy close ties.

In response to the Jordanian complaint, Israel has ordered the owners of the facility _ where imported livestock is held in quarantine before being released to farmers _ to clean up large amounts of animal waste that had built up at the site, Environment Ministry spokesman Sharon Achdut said.

In other bovine news, Israel just released a new electronic product that once ingested by cows, helps locate them and monitor their health status. Hopefully this device will keep cows healthier and create less of a need for them to be housed in quarantine facilities that border with potentially volatile nations.
