Is it legal?

It's certainly ugly, but so is any slaughtering process. I can't criticize because I eat a lot of beef. Since young children are exposed to it, I assume it is a traditional part of their culture. If they considered it shameful or even horrific, the children would probably be excluded. Certainly it can be done more humanely.

As an American, it is a no win situation. If I criticize, I'm Imperious, if I do nothing I'm uncaring.

I've seen similar things in Japan. I wonder what Hindus think of American slaughter houses. . . no, I think I know already.
