Yes it can , from what I read. This defense case took place somewhere in India justifying the sanction of wild cows on farm lands while the owner of the land tried suing the city/jury office for unreasonable tresspass . The issue was of wild cows tresspassing on farming lands and ruining the till , in India this is acceptable because cows are religious/spiritual guides to Hindu-ism . The case was dropped on religious terms because you cannot rule Hindu IN India as unjustified. The cows are spiritual guides and can roam where they please.
NOW- in the USA you CANNOT rule religion/orientation as a first class defense justifying your acts (such as the cows running wild on private property) so this would NOT be able to be used to argue in the jury system. The cows would be poached or sent to farm lands.
Explanation:
In many places in present-day India,"wild" and stray cattle are serious problem to farmers. The sacred-cow concept contributes to a significant waste of beef and inefficiency in cattle breeding. Homes for old cows are basically religious institutions that divert funds from other needs of the nation.
Several Medical and Law experts gathered together and debated the formation of a new half government half privatized department to assist the Fire Department and Police in the field faster than the hospital could. In fact back then even experts debated to make a law that drivers must yield to emergency vehicles. However that law didn't become official until 1996 when a Paramedic was struck and killed by another vehicle.
