"When Bea Arthur speaks, people do listen," he said.

It's that deep voice of his...

LOL!

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, alleges that Agriprocessors Inc. has violated state law that requires the use of humane methods of slaughter.

But if you consider all slaughter inhumane, who cares what the rabbi says!

[MisterRepublican]

Oh yeah. Washed up, leftist TV people should be obeyed at all times.

[martin_fierro]

Obligatory gratuitous Adrienne Barbeau image.

[Buck W.]

If the slaughter is inhumane, then the meat is not kosher by definition.

She did have slick daughter in that show.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.........no they don't!! At least not on purpose!!

[Lizavetta]

and I am concerned that it has not moved more quickly to publicly affirm that Judaism does not tolerate the kind of cruelty that PETA has documented,"

Tell us what Judaism says about the cruelty known as partial birth abortion, Ms. Arthur.

And then tell us with a straight face that you support it.

Why do leftists think their opinions count for anything more than chicken dung?

[Savage Beast]

Good for you, Bea. Keep it up!

"When Bea Arthur speaks, people do listen," he said.
Back in the day I saw many a hog get its snout broken before loaded on the truck to go to the slaughter house. This was to keep them from fighting and ripping each other to shreds before getting to the slaughter hauz. They would hit them with a bat while in the loading shute. I wonder if the ole boys that performed that procedure are laying awake at night wondering what Bea Arthur thinks. If they had to listen to her rant they would probably break her snout as well.

Arthur, a Jew and longtime PETA supporter,

as long as she doesn't go naked.

[Lionround]

Those standards provide for equipment, employee training and post-slaughter procedures to reduce the discomfort of animals who are killed without prior stunning.

I don't understand why any "post-slaughter procedure" would in any way "reduce the discomfort of animals". Isn't the animal already dead?

[mtbopfuyn]

If she were so concerned, she'd be a vegan.

[Hank Rearden]

That old dieseldyke was gross during the days of "All in the Family" - I can't imagine how crinkled she must be by now.

[Netizen]

Agriprocessors, along with rabbinic leaders, scientists and kosher certification groups, have defended the plant's slaughtering techniques.

Exactly what were they doing that the rabbi's and kosher certification groups okayed, yet Bea Arthur found offensive? If rabbis and kosher certification groups gave the okay then can there even be a violation?
