Give Me a Break

No. Source: From the fact that Noach was only permitted to kill animals because he spent many sleepless nights over the welfare of the animals, so they were indebted to him.

Sorry but this is completely krum. Where in the world did you get this from? A quote out of context from a medrash? You know full well that we do not pasken or hold according to anything remotely related to this.”

See Rabbeinu Bachaye, Parshas Acharei Mos.

havesomeseichel:

“Food for thought:

If you are worried about the animals being tortured during shechita, think about what the goyim do to their meat! We make sure that the knife is sharp enough so it cuts easier ect while they might hack it a few times (sorry for being graphic).

Furthermore, one of the “most humane butchers” in America is the shechita house in St. Louis…

(Sorry about my title- I didnt realize the pun when I wrote it… Just noticed it now when rereading my post before I sent it in…)”

I never said that gentiles CAN eat meat!

Please give me some examples of what you mean by “flipped.”

Bumblebees, genus Bombus, have also been hit.

anon for this:

Pro-choice generally means the right to abort, not the right to give birth, which is inherent.

intellegent:

“anon for this,

Firstly, please explain how we can use skins of animals for Mitzvos without torturing and/or killing them? Are we to look through the forests and find animal corpses with salvagable skins on them? Or maybe “Give me a break” will tell as that there are some shitos that allow human skins to be used?”

Without torturing them, not necessarily without killing them. Now you understand? And no, I’ve never heard of a shita that allows human skins to be used, but I’ve never heard of anyone that says you CAN’T use human skins. So there you have it.

“If you truly believe what you say, you belong in Cheirem.

BS”D

Not cheirem, Chelm. “

Why?

“BS”D

I have explained why the Korban Pesach was allowed – we took good care of the animals,

so they owed us their lives.

Source? Medrash Shtussim Rabim perhaps? I would mention what letter goes before tzaddik in the siman that you need to look up in said sefer but this is a G-rated site. “

No. Source: From the fact that Noach was only permitted to kill animals because he spent many sleepless nights over the welfare of the animals, so they were indebted to him. Very few slaughter animals today are in any way indebted to us, and, if anything, we are indebted to them because of the horrendous torture we put them through from birth to death.

How about if we start this up again?

intellegent:

Where in the Torah are we “encouraged” to eat meat?

Is that the latest?

SJSinNYC:

What’s your Rabbi’s name? Dr. _____?

I’m not about to trust a rabbi who I don’t even know over the most prominent scientists. Sorry.

havesomeseichel:

“3. Is your comment that it is not murder according to halacha or your emotions? Besides, Obama wants 3rd trimester babies to be aborted and it has been noted that when the child somehow is not killed and lives (is BORN)- they are thrown away to die.Left alone, without food, water, incubators, or a caring hand. Not given the proper care they need to live, when they could live just like the thousands that are born prematurely every year… Now, is that not murder?”

My comment is based on my emotions, as I do not use the halacha as a reference guide for the whole country. But yeah, 3rd trimester abortions ARE murder. But so far it’s illegal.

“2. A mother who does not want to raise their own child- something is wrong….”

That is false. Besides, in these cases the woman is not really interested in child-rearing – it’s just the byproduct of something she IS interested in. And are YOU basing that on your emotions?

Oh, I forgot – you’re still unmarried.

Sarah:

I know, but it’d be nice if we could get back on topic.

havesomeseichel:

“How can you be a frum Jew (and I am making an asumption there that you are both) and belive in abortion? It is MURDER and is against halacha!!”

First trimester abortions are NOT murder. Besides, you’re a woman. Don’t you ssympathize with other women who don’t wish to carry a baby to term and through life?

{I’m NOT a woman.}

Good point. But although I have the “audacity” to look on Britannica.com for a picture of Sarah Palin, YWN should post a picture of Palin for all the “tzaddikim tehorim” who won’t veer away from the kosher YWN.

If the ad is for an organization that is hoping to stop abortions, why is the ad “PRO-CHOICE means THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE?”

Just to clarify: “Apis mellifera” is the scientific name for the honeybee – “apis” means bee, “melli-” means honey, and “-fer-” means to produce. Thus, “Apis mellifera” – “honey-making bee.”

Joseph:

Yes, thank God I still have a vivid imagination.

Maybe the sun really DOES go around the Earth, and the telescopes at NASA are all wrong?

Just kidding. I am a “believer” in neo-Darwinism as well as a lover of animals.

You people are veering SERIOUSLY off topic.
