I guess the annual Festival of the Disemboweling of the Infidels is out this year.
At the risk of siding with the Moslems, why aren’t they allowed to slaughter lambs?
I am waiting for those wimpering cowards over at PETA to speak up against the barbarians. And I hear?...
(sounds of crickets chirping)
Does six years really constitute a Tradition?
What state is this in. In case I’m traveling there I want to be able to stear clear of crowds and human bombs.
If it’s their private property, they can do what they want with it. Why don’t we spend our time fighting the Muslims who behead, stone, gas, blow up, and impale PEOPLE over in the Middle East instead?
I’m not siding with Muslims as Muslims, but what’s wrong with slaughtering lambs/pigs/goats, whatever?
I think they do what Orthodox Jews do, which is slit the animal’s throat and let it bleed out (which I believe happens fairly quickly).
I’ve seen this in Spain, where they slaughter hogs this way, btw.
I think that noted imam Denis Leary said it best:
“Meat is murder...”
Has the judge issued an injunction against all slaughter houses in the area?
This has nothing to do with Muslim or any other religion. This has to do with a judge that is a moron.
“State agriculture officials said the Rowes must build a custom slaughter facility. The two men say that would cost $740,000. State officials said mass slaughters conducted any other way are unsanitary and threaten an outbreak of disease.
The lamb slaughter commemorates the day when Muslims believe God allowed the patriarch Abraham to sacrifice a ram, instead of his son. Muslims believe the son to be sacrificed was Ishmael, rather than Isaac as recorded in the Christian Old Testament.”

There are the reasons. And, no, I didn’t notice any input by the PETA crowd. Guess there are still a few people left that they are respectful/afraid of.
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.
Allow them to do that and they’ll want to chop heads off and not be arrested for it. Wait, they already do!
Is the restriction because the Rowes don’t have a licensed abbatoir?
I know many families who “sacrifice” an animal every year. Will I be outlawed from raising, slaughtering and cooking my Thanksgiving turkey next?
If it is like our state, one has to build a separate facility to slaughter differant things. Chickens are slaughtered in a different building than beef for example.
In this area the Moslums have van trucks that have a hole in the floor of the bed. They park over a sewer and kill the animals and bleed them over the sewer. No one knows until the mess hits the treatment plant.
Bloodsport - and a creepy one at that.

There is no reason why these people should not be able to kill an animal and eat it. The judge is an idiot, and the ruling should be appealed.
On the other hand, if the reason is not “cruelty to animals” but rather a public sanitation concern, I can understand. From what I can tell, that seems to be the more likely reason for the ban.
“Slaughter” must not be the form of killing animals in meat packing plants.
Since when did our constitution protect the rights of non-humans. Animals have been considered the property of humans for all of human history - and the owner of each animal had the right to choose how it was exploited, barring damaging some OTHER persons property.
What changed?
