A Syracuse man who butchered two goats in his basement has been charged with unjustifiable killing of animals, city police said.
A neighbor called police after he heard what he thought was a woman screaming, police said. The neighbor went out to investigate the noise and saw Sharif Aden, 33, of 229 Maplehurst Ave., slitting the throats of the goats in the cellar, police said.
Aden told police he butchered the goats for their meat. Aden said that his religion forbids him to eat meat from an animal killed with a gun, police said.
SPCA Investigator Betsy Puffer told police Aden was already being investigated by her agency and that Aden was instructed to take the goats to a butcher and to not do the job himself, police said.
Aden was keeping the live goats in his cellar in violation of city code, Puffer said. The SPCA inspected the animals about four hours before Aden killed them, Puffer said. He was told at the time to get the animals out of the home and to not butcher the animals himself, she said.
Unjustifiable killing of an animal is a misdemeanor in the state's agriculture and markets law.
Killing them? NAAAAH, I’m just dresing them. I hunt wild goat and this one wan’t dead so I put it out fo its misery. I will dontate some of the meat to homeless. It for my religion.
The libs must be in melt down.
But...but.. religion bad.....muslim religion good....killing animals bad...animal euthinasia good.... homeless....religon...(sound of gurgling and lib ‘brain’ melting). PLEASE some one reduce what I’m supposd to think to a bumpersticker!
But most importantly. Thank you Grandfather for leaving Syracuse around 100 years ago.
But were the deer living in your basement before you took them to the garage? I don’t have a problem with slaughtering animals for food. With a little luck I’ll be doing it myself next week. I just don’t like the fact that this guy is making suburban America look like downtown Kabul.
“Aden said that his religion forbids him to eat meat from an animal killed with a gun”
Seems to me that they just keep making up rules as they go.
It is also illegal to raise livestock in your basement.
All that raw sewage is put into the storm drain system, which in most cities is separate from the sewage systems.
Most towns/cities have by-laws preventing the raising of farm animals within city limits and on property not zoned for such use.
Goat milk is mostly used for lactose intolerant babies, not 'organic markets', which your friend would not qualify for anyways, for several reasons, one being having her back yard certified toxin free. Then there are feed issues, which she would not be able to prove is organic, and can't certify since she has no control over growing it. No doubt there are niche markets for goat cheeze though, and it' relativly easy to make. You have to aquire a taste for it though, and some goats are better than others for making it.
A couple of goats wouldn't make a whole lot of milk and goat cheese however.
For Mohammad, it was all about slitting the animals throat and letting it drown in it's own blood. Mohammad knew Jews did this, but he didn't know why. But Mohammad didn't just copy what the Jews were doing, he had to do it "better", So extra gruesomeness was in order, plus a better name. "Halal" it is called.
Even a hundred years ago New York had other groups that individuals complained about too. Complain about Muslims because they oppress women, wantonly murder in accordance with their Sharia Law and force ignominious mediocrity on humanity.
I think it is very shallow to be to disgusted by what a person eats. Watch some Andrew Zimmern episodes and refocus your abhorrence.
No, he wasn’t just “preparing his food. He was torturing a poor animal for his sick cult’s required pleasures. No doubt he had sex with it in the weeks leading up to the killing day as well.
???? Any basement I've ever seen has only a common sewage system drain. How could a private home be built with a separate basement drain to the storm system? Storm water would backup into the basement every time it rained hard.
Are you thinking about a naturally dug earthen root cellar that may allow ground seepage into the water table?
In the 1960's my family sometimes went to visit some elderly relatives who lived in Syracuse. During the 1990's I often flew into Syracuse on the way to another city in upstate New York. One time I decided to go find the street where my relatives used to live. I discovered that the neighborhood was now essentially a ghetto.
Although Syracuse has built a brand new mall, it was surrounded by a decaying industrial zone that looked rather like a nuclear bomb had gone off.
It appeared to me that Syracuse had lots of problems even before any Muslims showed up.
All new developments have these systems isolated to avoid sewage backing up when flooding occurs from heavy rain, floods etc. And to prevent dumping of raw sewage into rivers and lakes.
It stops all that poo from filling up your basement during storms and spring floods as well.
Most Cities have to replace the single pipe system in accordance with clean water treaties by certain dates.
Old houses, yes. Look a little harder in newer homes.
A simple check valve in your basement floor drain prevents ground water from backing up during storms. Install one if you don't have one. (your insurance co. probably requires you have one)
If you have an older home with a single pipe system, and you have a toilet in the basement, the check valve is only effective until water levels rise to the level of the toilet bowl. Then ground water and flooded sewer pipe pressure will blow all the sewage and ground water up through your basement toilet. And any other drain without a check valve.
How could slitting the throats of the goats be torture?
Humans have done that for at least ten thousand years and possibly as much as seventy thousand years. The Masai tribes of Kenya regularly bleed the throats of their cattle to mix the blood with milk. A hunter often tracks down his prey to kill it by hand when the arrow or bullet does not immediately bring it down.
I'll let you check the carcass for bestiality. I don't even want to think about that.
the problem is I don’t want PETA types to do anything against the right to use animals for food.
“No, he wasnt just preparing his food. He was torturing a poor animal for his sick cults required pleasures. No doubt he had sex with it in the weeks leading up to the killing day as well.”
You have a sick twisted mind.
I agree. It’s not a problem owning a domesticated cat either...but a change occurs when you have 100 or so craping all over. It’s called public health.

I live in an old home in the South. I have no sump hole or floor drain. I have no corner tiles, french drain or link to the storm drains. I suspect that your Northern building codes may just be different.
There’s more to it than that. There is a ritual involved, and depending on the sec/tribe, it can last weeks.
No basement?
I have seen some very old homes that have no weeping tiles and floor drains/sumps. It depends on the area as well, and how much ground water there is, and what codes were in place at the time. Sometimes you see basements floors badly heaved from ground water pressure, and foundation walls badly damaged. Codes vary from city to city, and of course location. Up here, towns/cities began installing a two pipe system in the mid sixties, and upgrading older systems as they reach the end of their life expectancy. It's flat here however, the prairies. Seperate sewer systems are a must.
Sometimes the old Red river floods turns the entire region into a lake which joins up with Lake Winnipeg further north to reform the old glacial lake, lake Agassiz.
Then you need a houseboat.
No, but Mohammad did. So does the Ayatollah komieni, who published in his green book affirming Mohammad's teachings that having sex with goats, camels sheep etc. is ok. How could any Muzzie with a goat tied up in his garage for eid dinner resist?
