Sheep Ike

The Animal Welfare Act has many exceptions. This also includes permitted slaughter. With this decree, the legislators wanted to show consideration for people who see the anaesthetic-free bleeding of an animal as the practice of their religion. But for us, the slow bleeding out of an animal while it is fully conscious is serious cruelty to animals. That is why we bought Ike and his fellow sufferers, who were brought to our attention by a sponsor, at the last minute.
