OMG, culture shock!

My neighbors brought a live goat home and are going to kill it for their daughter's wedding.

WTF?!?! cant they get animal control called on them, or does religion discount that?

Some parts of the world you can eat goat.

Yes, but PRockGirlScout lives in the USA. And just because they EAT it doesnt mean its legal to KILL it, from what I understand, in their house.

Thats all.

It's not like we have to see it. It isn't really going to affect us. They aren't sacrificing it so much as cooking it. It is illegal and I could call someone, but I won't.

All in all it's more humane than the meat industry's way of treating animals. It's just a trip to have it happening right here.

*sings* I dont practice Santeria!
I aint go no Crystal Ball!
But I had a million dollars,
but I, I spent it ALL!!

And If I can find my Hannah,
And that Sancho that she's found!
I'd Bust a Cap in Sancho,
And I'd slap her, YEAAAAAAHHH!!

Its just so odd to me. I mean, yes, I understand it, especially from a religious point of view, but maybe its the animal loving vegetarian in me.
oh well.

What? The bible says you're supposed to.

your basic farm goats aren't even remotely endangered, so unless they're capturing a wild goat they can kill one and eat it whenever they please!

You can buy goat at specialty shops in Canada.

And I know people who raise and slaughter animals. I don't see why the goat would be much different.

I am the Reaper of Toast.

Based on some of the comments in the thread, I realize I should have made it more clear. They aren't sacrificing it. I would find that appalling. They are killing it to eat it.

It's because it's in the middle of a suburban neighborhood that it shocked me.

The only thing stopping me from raising my own steaks in the back yard is an overwhelming desire to avoid cow stench.

They have banned foi de gras because of the way the animals are treated prior to becoming what looks like cat food to me.

Sorry to offend anyone that likes the stuff.

The Toast Reaper?

That sounds like a job I'd want.

Make sure you put extra butter on it, or you are going to end up with a real sore dick.

They can be brutal...

I don't know what shocks me more. You having a dick, or that you've apparently had relations with breakfast foods.

I have a dick?

Holy Shit, when did that get there? I spent too many years telling people to 'suck my dick' 'kiss the snotty end of my dick' and 'i've got bigger balls than you' and now...now I grew one.

And it's small.

*runs away bawling*

Goat's actually really good. I take it none of you have been to northern Mexico. Cause if you ate a meat taco there, there's a really good chance it was goat.

muslims in my country ritually slaughter sheep once a year during some kind of holiday, i imagine muslims in america do the same thing.

I ain't no meat eater or nothing, but last time I checked it was perfectly legal to slaughter domesticated farm animals for food. There's no difference between killing a goat or a pig or a cow at your home and having it killed in a slaughterhouse.

"I make death delicious" is the quote of the year
