RE: BBC - Slaughterhouse: The Task of Blood (2005) [Documentary]
"The facilities of the abattoir are used by both Jewish and Muslim slaughtermen for kosher and halal killing - their attitudes to work and the world outside contrast with those of the other abattoir workers."
Are you saying that the practitioners of Babylonian voodoo kill animals on higher moral ground than Western followers of Babylonian voodoo? Slaughter is slaughter.
You said, "It's a film about white, working class men" and "the shocking attitudes" of these white, working class men regarding "race and immigration." You describe these white, working class men as "killers and cutters" with "sharp knives," whereas you portray the "Jewish and Muslim slaughtermen" as holy butchers following their religious beliefs. The implication about white, working men is pretty obvious. When it comes to slaughter, none of the naked apes wreaking havoc on this planet have a monopoly on morality--we just have different delusions and an assortment of flimsy justifications for our egregious behavior.
Very sorry for the confusion, the description it that from the documentary author himself.
I agree with you, seems like a very biased statement.
This was from the description, I didn't really think much about the religious aspect, I thought what was interesting was that since most people eat meat they shouldn't have a problem looking at how the animal are being prepared.
