Reply To: Backyard Shechita

Wolf,

This was done in a private backyard surrounded with hedges. A mosey nelly violated their privacy by looking into the neighboring yard. Yes, it’s called ???? ????. The person at fault is the one who invaded the privacy with their vouyeristic nature. This was not done in the street, nor was it done in the front yard. It is like reading the Megillah in your house to yourself. Or like doing a private mitzvah in your Tom and someone peeking into your window c

I am unaware of any law that says it is illegal to slaughter a cow or butcher it, so long it is not a commercial operation. There is nothing in the Town of Ramapo ordinances that says its illegal. Yes, I looked.

Yes, I know a fine was paid, however that proves nothing except that it was cheaper to pay a made up fine than pay the lawyer to contest it. Which is how many fines are settled.

Which is all beside what my point was, which apparently was too subtle.
