Religious practices are only acceptable if it is a chicken or a turkey. Any other animal is called animal cruelty, and is ILLEGAL!

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.I AM AN ORDAINED SANTERIA PRIEST. OUR ANIMAL SACRIFICES ARE DONE IN A HUMANE WAY JUST AS THE JEWISH RABI’S SLAUGHTER THEIR ANIMALS FOR THE “KOSHER” REQUIREMENTS. WE DO IT IN A QUICK AND PAINLESS WAY.CUTTING THE CARTOID ARTERY. A MAJORITY OF THE ANIMALS ARE CONSUMED AFTER THE SACRIFICE.THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS WHEN IT IS DONE TO HEAL A SICK PERSON OR IN SOMEONES DEATH RITES. IN THE 21ST. CENTURY, AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE, IS GOING TO INTERFERE WITH RELIGIOUS PRACTICES?SANTERIA IS A RELIGION AS WAS DECIDED IN THE Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520 (1993).IT SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS SUCH…ITS FUNNY.SANTERO’S DO NOT LIKE BOTHERING ANYONE OR INTERFERING IN ANYONES PRIVATE LIFE, BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE LOVE INTERFERING IN SANTERO’S LIVES…RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED

This is obvious prejudice. I have known these people for over 10 years, been to their home numerous times, I do not belong to their religion and not ONCE have I heard any animals, seen anything dirty, etc. This home is cleaner than most homes I have visited of Americans..it’s cleaner than mine!
They are so very discreet and quiet that I didn’t know this even took place at his home until the news came out! By the way, the meat is eaten! It is no different than someone buying chicken at the grocery store…

UncaPaul:

I have considered creating a site for such contributions as a way of funding my kids college education. You must agree, however, that there are some jokes too bad to pass up.

I am not a lawyer, but I do have one statement, Mr. Turley. I refer you to the following line in your post:

If that is the case, the effort to ban such sacrifices would [be] “Euless.”

Please place $1 in the bad joke jar. Thank you.
