State Blocks Muslim Celebration Involving Animal Slaughter

The article ends: “Eddie Rowe said sending the lambs – which cost around $32,000 – to slaughterhouses is not acceptable option, because the families then could not watch.”

Why not give each family a DVD of their lamb being slaughtered? They could watch it every year.

Do the children also watch this? It’s a wonder that they don’t turn out twisted. Or do they?

Gov’t is way more dangerous in this case.

The next step will be outlawing Muslim homeschool, then Christian homeschool. Ya get the picture?

[Jeff Chandler]

On the one hand, if they have lambs to slaughter, maybe they’ll leave us infidels alone (cathartic release.)

On the other hand, what if they are merely PRACTICING??!!!!

[live+let_live]

And require all animal shelters and dog pounds to go ‘no-kill’.

Maybe even ban killing babies? No, never mind that wouldn’t be enlightened.

Where’s PETA?

Same reasons pagans can’t sacrifice animals...

First lambs, then goats — NEXT US. If they want to live like this, they should return to their natal and ancestral hell countries and get the hell out of here.

Free The Lambs...Kill the Rats.

This isn’t a progression where first they slaughter lambs, then things suddenly grow and they start slaughtering their children. The two are independent of each other. If they kill their own daughter, the a-hole should be arrested, tried for murder, and given a just sentence. If they want to slaughter lambs on their own private property, so what.

Historically Christians sacrificed lambs too. Would this judge put a stop to that as well?

[Jeff Chandler]

So it’s not the slaughter itself, but the magnitude of the slaughter and the public health ramifications.

[Note: ramifications is the appropriate word to convey the intended meaning, and is in no way intended as a sheep pun.]

Historically Christians sacrificed lambs too.

Uh, no. Animal sacdifice is not part of the Christian faith.

[Jeff Chandler]

Historically Christians sacrificed lambs too.

The very first Christians did, but I am not aware of that practice carrying forward to the Gentile Christians.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Allow them to do that and they’ll want to chop heads off and not be arrested for it. Wait, they already do!

[G8 Diplomat]

God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac to test his faith, so he tied him to the alter but an angel stopped him before he did anything. Afterwards, he found a ram caught in the bushes to sacrifice instead.

That’s what I was referring to.

[G8 Diplomat]

I meant the very first Christians

[lastchance]

Is the restriction because the Rowes don’t have a licensed abbatoir?

[lastchance]

If Orthodox Jews can find a way to slaughter animals that meet both State and Jewish law I am sure Muslim can find a way as well.

[Yorlik803]

sometimes the jokes write themselves....

[Digger]

And this is bad, why? When the animal is "sacrificed" it is EATEN by all involved! They make it sound like they are torturing kittens or something... I am not a fan of Islam (as a matter of fact, I despise that faith), but this is ridiculous. Let them enjoy their mutton!

Me thinks ist's about time for them all to move back to whatever backward country they are from where they would have the freedom to do their thing. I'll get them a one way ticket.
