This is a video made by the practitioners themselves. It's ironic that a video of the sacrificing of animals is set to a soundtrack of festive klezmer music.
How much more truly festive the occasion would be if it were done with money, instead of animals.

  • I hear they just throw them away afterwards too.

  • @TheWaterlily2012 , they are supposed to donate the bodies of the chickens to the poor, but this doesn't always happen. I've seen operations where they process the dead birds and actually have a refrigerated truck on hand to transport the flesh, but I've seen some that discard their bodies in dumpsters (dead and dying). Even at those which clean and prepare the flesh, many chickens are discarded due to illness or injuries (sustained in their crates), which renders their flesh Treif (unkosher).

  • Avian flu might put an end to this barbarism before compassion or sanity does... It's an absolute health hazard as well as a cultural embarrassment!

  • Shame. Terrible. How can Judaism be so cool on some things and terrible in others?

  • genecide

  • THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE.

    If you can't see what's wrong here.....

  • ... and as for getting old, sadly, it happens to all of us.

  • @ninchLOsomarichYO , Yes, I'm so anti-human, I've only devoted my entire adult life to helping people as a registered nurse (31 years and counting). Bigoted? Racist? Couldn't be further from the truth. I come from a family of civil rights activists and have been an activist against such abominations for my entire life... which may be long (54 years ... I'll give you that much).

  • @bekindtoanimals100 Just like the Sick Weirdos who think they can transfer sins into the body of a dead bastard???
