On Wed, Oct. 16/2013 the NY Post reported a story about a terrified sheep that escaped from a slaughterhouse and ran for her life. Sadly she was captured and dragged back to the death chamber to be killed.
WHAT THE SHEEP SAW:
In her tiny corral her body pushed tight and with her brethren she fights for breath.
A neighbour is lifted upside down and back feet tied. Her hanging head almost touches the fresh blood on the floor of her newborn. Bleating.
Panic and smell of terror.
Bowels puke, fear and stench and terror...bleating. A mans hand a swipe on neck, cutting, blood pouring, eye blinking, weaker, weaker run...run.

Please understand that Halal as well as Kosher animals are strapped upside down, their throats slit and are then left to bleed out still alive and conscious as the next animal in line watches. You should do some research on Wiki about this practice.
As an aside to the article..if you see a running, scared farm animal loose in the city please do not return it to the place of death and horror from which it ran.
P.S. To Coke O'Neal who saved the sheep. You tried to do a good thing. In retrospect, which is always easy...next time offer to buy the damn sheep from the slaughter guy and take it to a petting zoo.
