So, you went by some other person’s opinion.

Did you ever read the book. “Old Yeller” as a kid?

The problem I’m having the narrative you push is the astounding hypocrisy!

After all, some cultures have no problem with parboiling a senior dog that is conscious of stir fry newborn puppies on a wok.

Have you ever smelled, puppy breath? Just asking.

Islam practices slaughter, guess what animals are on the list and considered, whoa, a big list. Some prefer the animals be stunned first, (poor chickens get strung up by their legs and then run through electrified water), bigger animals are hoisted up off the ground where their defenseless and either get a stun shot or rod to the heart. Gruesome business. But, I believe it’s the Sunni who prefer the old tradition of leading them to slaughter where a fatal blow must be made to gape the large arteries in the neck for bleed out. I wonder why though, they must leave the spinal cord intact??
Odd.

I believe I would have to leave the dining table and go shutter somewhere if a huge platter was set before me of a rotisserie pig with its head still attached.

Oh, slaughter houses and auctions. Do you know that beautiful young horses are taken there because they proved not to be championship capable? I have an acquaintance who bought recently purchased two beautiful mares who had won money on the track, just not enough. She will use them as brood mares.

Any way, since you are so interested in the welfare of animals, perhaps try to bring attention to a bigger picture than just one tidbit of evidence for cruelty from one member of Donald Trump’s cabinet member.

Its hypocrisy, low and ripe with TDS
