Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00747)

A friend of mine had a very interesting experience. He is from India and 
his wife is fourth or fifth generation Iowan. When they lived in small 
town bordering US and Mexico, many young goats used to come to their 
backyard which they used to pet and feed. My friend liked a Mexian 
specialty made out of meat of young goats. One day he wanted a young goat 
from the backyard to be caught and killed and the food freshly prepared. 
The wife though grown in a farm in Iowa, refused since she did not want to 
kill the goad and cook it. So one time when a Moslem friend of mine told me 
how they do not eat pork products, I told him to me whether the creature is 
two or four legged, they all the same when it comes to killing and eating. 
He laughed!
