Cows, horses and donkeys are expected to march in Jerusalem next week, as part of a protest move planned by right-wing activists in response to the upcoming gay pride parade.
The beast parade will be combined with a mass prayer, which will include citing Psalms and asking for atonement in an aim "to explain to God that the desecration of Jerusalem is being protested."
Requests to hold the unusual parades have already been submitted to the police, which are examining it.
The gay pride parade is expected to take place in Jerusalem next week, and tensions in the city are high. Ynet has learned that in a meeting held in the capital on Monday by representatives of religious and right-wing groups, it was decided to ask to hold two demonstrations.
In a demonstration which will be held a day before the gay pride parade, right-wing activists seek to parade animals on the same route where the gay parade is to be held, with hundreds of their supporters accompanying them.
Simultaneously, right-wing activists are preparing to hold a parade which will in fact be a mass prayer, in which there will be separation between men and women. The participants plan to cite Psalms, ask for atonement and pray Mincha (the afternoon prayer).
Ohad Bart, the representative of the Yesha Council's religious education institutions, told Ynet: "We want to hold a parade of beasts because these people's acts are beastly."
According to Bart, there is no intention to confront the marchers but to do things in an organized way.
"We want to explain to God that we are protesting the desecration of Jerusalem. It's a disgrace," said Bart.
He added that "when they put a head's pig at the Temple Mount, the entire world went wild. And when they bring this abomination to the streets of the holy city, it is our duty to protest and call out and bless God's name."
According to Bart, former Chief Rabbis Mordechai Eliyahu and Avraham Shapira were also approached and asked to take part in the mass prayer. Bart also said that there were plans to ask Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef to take part in the prayer.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

I think the point might be lost on the general audience... Having read the explanation, I barely understand it.
Oh, this would be so much fun. Christians should start doing this after every parade. My last tolerance nerve has been severed.

This is just silly.
You could make the point, I suppose, that if the state can't legally define marriage, the state can't prevent you from marrying your livestock, either.
Not only silly but how will they be able to distinguish between the animal crap and whatever the gays leave after the parades are over?
I think the the idea of parading around making noise about any sexual preference is silly. I think it being followed by a bunch of farm animals is funny.
I would expect there would be several from the alternative lifestyle side that will be looking for dates from the animal parade.....
These people better keep a good eye on their animals , or some horny freak is liable to perform a sex act on them.
Are Christians welcome to the animal pageant?
I hope they have lots of loudly braying donkeys and lowing oxen.

They're just hoping for a "chance" meeting along the way....................
or maybe at a rest stop....................
It's hard to tolerate "in your face intolerant do-it-my-way or else tolerance" for too long.
The smell.
Doesn't Israel have a few more important issues to deal with?
Yes, that is why the gays have decided to display their "pride."
Yep, there's "Marryin'" stock and "Breedin'" stock, I guess...
