Stop the annual chicken slaughter by Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn

The Issue

The U.S. government must do something to stop the annual slaughter of 50,000 chickens in the streets of Brooklyn by Orthodox Jews in the name of "religion." This is a brutal ritual against innocent animals that must not be allowed to continue. We are a despicable, savage nation if we do not do something to stop this brutality.  How do we look at our young people and say we did nothing to stop this?  Why don't you propose a bill in Congress to make this ritual a crime with severe consequences?  This is unbelievable. Shame on our elected officials if we don't put an end to this holocaust.  It is immoral and disgusting.
