Hahah, this happened here in Ogden? Doesn't surprise me.
My next door neighbor and his relatives had a side of beef hanging from a tree branch last Thanksgiving. They were literally butchering it and throwing hunks onto a barbecue. I was shocked by the spectacle but more concerned with the sanitary aspect than the raw gore.
Having a side of beef hanging isn't even as bad as butchering a live cow in your driveway.
Neighbors are idiots for calling the cops. Should have invited themselves over for dinner. There is a massive amount of beef over dare just waiting to be eaten.
Bulk beef indeed.
Holy Cow, that's just nuts, I would understand if it's out in the country side or something but in the city/burbs area?
I disagree with you. Once upon a time, virtually all children in the country grew up and at one point or another, actually participated in "where there food comes from" - often something simple in the form of chopping the chicken's or turkey's head off and helping to pluck feathers. Just because most of society gradually has moved away from that stage of preparing their food does not give them any right to be completely insulated from the reality of where their food comes from.Slaughtering animals in your front yard is not something I care to see. Can't believe there are some here defending it...actually, I can believe it. The idiocy of ATOT never ceases to amaze me.
I used to regularly slaughter deer in my driveway when I lived in the city. Where else was I going to do it? In my living room??

i.e. at one point, close to 100% of families butchered their own meat.
Your claim is that now that the percentage is closer to zero, that gives those who aren't willing to go to through the extra work the right to tell others that they can't either.

kids are not dumb they know steaks come from cows and cows die to give us that meat. its a whole other story to be 7 years old and watch your neighbor kill a cow and cut off its head. if you dont understand how that can be traumatic to a child in the suburbs who has never been around animal slaughter then dont have kids.
I shot my first hog at my aunts farm when i was 9 and it was not a very pleasant experience. but i understood the hog was food and it was part of life.
Where did I claim that?
I don't care if people slaughter animals themselves. Just don't do it in you driveway where your neighbors can see. Better yet, if you're going to slaughter your own beef as a practice I'd recommend building a slaughter house.
I know where my food comes from and I've been inside a slaughter house before.
I don't know where this guy lives but I live in the suburbs, nobody slaughters any animals in their driveway around here. I'd be quite shocked if I saw that and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. Maybe this is acceptable in rural areas but not in the suburbs.
BTW-There are plenty of farms, with cattle, in SoCal and none of them slaughter animals in view of the public.
And that is precisely because there are so many over-zealous ninny panty-wastes who were over protected by idiot parents and don't have the faintest fucking connection to a reality that isn't prepackaged Mcdonalds hamburger or Veal.
These are the same worthless fucks that couldn't fix their own cars, start a decent cooking fire, or care for a garden. Their idea of getting food is stopping by Starbucks and picking up a double mocha latte with extra cinnamon and whip cream on top.
You have any relation to this guy?

That would seriously mess me up as a kid.You are truly hilarious. Do you have children?
Let me give you a hint. Children don't get upset over this sort of thing unless they are TAUGHT to get upset.... by well meaning over-zealous parents.
It's much like sex. Boys don't turn 12 years old and become allergic to the sight of female breasts. Likewise, the sight of a naked female body won't send a kid into a fit of horny rage where he screws everything in sight.
My parents were up in arms when I let my 6, 8, and 10 year old watch 9/11 videos. They similarly didn't like it when we took the kids to funerals.
It's the same damn mentality at work here. Kids don't NEED to be protected from these things. They need to be shown. Explain it to them. If you feel the need to hide it from them, you better believe they're going to pick up on it. That repression shows up later in life in all sorts of ways.
It's like the United States and our idiotic fascination with alcohol. Why does it suddenly become 'ok' at 21? Idiotic.
You keep acting like kids are small breakable packages that can't see the slaughter of cows. Mine's already slaughtered his own dear at 10, knows how to shoot rifles, thinks breastfeeding is an absolutely awesome thing, doesn't get embarrased when he sees me or my wife naked, and has tasted alcohol and declared it 'nasty'.
I can't wait to see your precious over-protected baby in 15 years.
kids see a lot worse shit on tv and movies these days.
get over it.
What shows are you watching?
TBH is my neighbor shot a cow in his driveway and started butchering it, i would walk over with an apron on asking him if i could get some steaks if i helped out
I've never butchered an animal before and one day came home to my residential area and saw a pile of deer hooves and skin in my neighbor's driveway. I went over to watch the rest of the butchering.
