this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay back at it let's talk about uh hunting let's look at hunting in halasas is it an issue of Tsar Valley science there's a concept according to Jewish law you can't cause distress to an animal tells us by the way an amazing ramban what's the source that you can close distress to an animal The Ramones is the the myth the source is why do you make a bracha what Mitzvah are you by slaughtering an animal the answer is you're behind the Mitzvah of relieving the animal of any distress that you would cause it by taking its life in any other way shrito is a painless way for the animal to die by the way there's an amazing thing that in all kosher animals by severing the two Simone you immediately cut off the oxygen flow to the head so the animal experiences no pain in the process in non-kosher animals the animal still has oxygen going to the brain from other sources so shifting a non-kosher animal will actually cause the animal a lot of distress that's why we only eat kosher animals thrombin says the source of tarabale rice is the Mitzvah of shrita so is hunting a violation of causing distress to an animal absolutely not is only a problem if you keep the animal alive but if you take the animal's life you're not causing the animal to stress you know people always make a mistake don't kill it so that is a very compelling way to demonstrate amaratus meaning Jewish illiteracy there is no issue of the time and taking life to the animal the issue is what ramosha says that it's considered cruelty so it's an issue of a person's own character as opposed to Sarah now the remote tells us in Ebenezer Simon hey anything that is needed for a medicinal reasons for a fua or any other human need there's no sarb so if somebody needed a feather to write a secret thyroid to write anything one could pluck a feather from a bird from a goose there's no issues says we don't pluck the feather just straight off because that would be I'm sorry us so the question is what is the Makar what's the source that for human need there's no issue of Sarah ballet Scion is uh and he says the Raya that for human need there's no way so he says how could you plow with the ox but it's uh it's there's a lot of work it's painful it's in the blistering Heat and the Torah allows you to plow it speaks about plowing there are many different silken that discuss plowing that shows time is permitted for the sake of human needs if and the kids could go in and he says it's not Araya he says animals love to pull like we saw yesterday at the uh kennel animals enjoy pulling they're trained to pull kilocake so what's the dasculation's permitted for human need for the fact that you'll add a plow animals are trained they're groomed they enjoy pulling so there's interesting the Swedish has a chuva that he defends the Raya of the Das kadoshum he says yeah animals like to plow but the Torah doesn't put any limit on up to what point you can fly with an animal what if you've already plowed with the animal for nine hours and the animals having a very hard time and he's in great distress is there any uh prohibition or limitation that you have to give the animal an hour off no you could plow with an animal without any limit that demonstrates that for any human need that supersedes so that's an important you saw it when it comes on the other hand has a certain limitation of what is considered human need so there's a type of cast that is fattened in order to produce a certain white quality in the meat what is it called I think it's called Whitefield what do you say it's called so with a boxing the animal and they stuff the animal with all kinds of foods that the animal has no interest in and the animal doesn't enjoy just not to make the animal healthier merely to make the animal appear a plumper and the meat should be wider and ramosha says it is Usher even though uh the person stands to gain from it because for this with the soul intention is a arbitrary uh benefit where people are convinced that this meat is more delicious it's not more delicious it says uh most of the animals that are fat in this way are Trey voice and even if the animal is not a tree from the lung it's a tree from the intestine and a very small percentage of them are healthy so for this type of human need which is an arbitrary human need it's merely tricking people into a delicacy that is not really based in reality ramosha says this would not constitute human need that would supersede sarabalikai so which means in principle there's a concept of not causing distress to an animal there knowing to be who this says this does not apply when you take the animal's life although there is an issue of the actorial cellulite and gender in the uh in the one who commits it but nevertheless there is a certain guideline that the human need has to be a legitimate based reasonable human need but under those circumstances uh animals were created for the service of men and actually alpikabola we know we have a concept that animals would like us to eat them in fact you know many many people don't understand animal language but actually when a callus says move what the cow is saying is please put me in in your children's please eat me because we know how people have all of their four categories of matter there's no names and the highest elevation is when an animal is consumed he's elevated to the status of Madame so yesterday the animal is just sitting there he couldn't speak and um now that you've consumed him the animals elevated to the status of madabird s are ships the kale is on a higher match rigger than they were so taka they should not be eating the meat stuff you've just experienced another Torah class brought
