My parent's neighbor got a ticket for killing a goat in her backyard

You sure you aren't thinking of the movie "Devil's Advocate"? It was his first case in NYC.

I still remember fondly the day when my 4month old puppy came home dragging a half-bbq'd goat leg that she had clearly jacked from some neigthbors grill.

LOL - yeah, when art imitates life, right...that was a voodoo case IIRC.

No, this was back in the 80s, as the Hasidic community grew larger.

Or maybe it was in Lakewood NJ.

This is one area that I am still not sure about. Where do animal rights fit into a free society? Do animals even have rights? Would a libertarian, Constitutionally-limited government permit the slaughtering of dolphins or engaging in dog fighting rings?

Animals do not have rights. Government should not be involved in protecting them. If you don't like how someone is treating them, then don't support them; don't buy their products; don't hire them; don't run their commercials, etc. Vote with your actions, not by creating laws.

Maybe you are thinking of Rockland County, NY. We have a few hasidic communities here and they do a chicken slaughter every year:

Lol! I think most people would get freaked out at someone hacking a goat to pieces in neighbor's yard.

Not if they bring me a bbq goat fajita . Tasty .

She shouldn't be hacking the goat, just slit its throat. Dead in minutes with little pain. Young goats are delicious. I wish I had neighbors like that. I'm the one in the neighborhood coming home with dead critters.
