goyim can be so
For 150 years an English peasant could be blinded and castrated for eating a deer that was standing in his own barley.
William the Conqueror declared whole counties "forest". The word had nothing to do with trees. It meant the king's larder, and at its peak it covered a third of England, villages and farms included.
Inside it, a peasant could not:
- Kill a deer or a boar
- Carry a bow
- Keep a dog with all its toes
- Fence the deer out of his crops
- Gather fallen wood without paying
- Clear an acre to grow food
The penalty for taking a deer, as restated in 1198: both eyes and both testicles.
Inside the same boundary, the king could:
- Eat all of it
So the deer ate the peasant's crop, the king ate the deer, and the peasant ate what remained, which was oats, beans and cabbage boiled in a pot until it gave up.
No English king ever had to order the poor onto plants. Owning every animal did the job for him.
900 years on, the people most anxious that you eat less meat are, once again, not planning to join you.
Every three years in medieval England, the king's men went from cottage to cottage cutting the toes off the peasants' dogs.
It was called lawing. The dog's forefoot went on a block of wood, a chisel was set across three claws, and they came off with one blow of a mallet. The Charter of the Forest, 1217, records the correct method: three claws of the forefoot, but not the ball.
A dog with three toes missing cannot run down a deer. That was the entire purpose. A third of England was royal forest, every animal in it belonged to the king, and a poor man's dog was the one piece of hunting equipment he could not be stopped from owning. So they left him the dog and took its feet.
If the inspectors found yours intact, the fine was three shillings, about a month's wages. Before 1217 they simply took your ox.
No law ever told that man he could not eat meat. The law took his bow, his dog's toes and his right to the wood, then left him entirely free to work out the rest for himself. He worked it out. He ate oats and beans, and he raised children who ate oats and beans.
That is how it is always done. Meat is never banned for the poor. It just becomes, by one sensible regulation after another, impossible to get.
Count the sensible regulations being drafted for your dinner this year.

this time a jew who left mitzvos
"At the age of 74, Joe DiMaggio was sitting with the American League President and ex-teammate Dr. Bobby Brown at Candlestick Park when the 1989 San Francisco earthquake hit.
Joe DiMaggio was next spotted seeking aid at a Red Cross shelter, holding garbage bags in his hands. "My home has been pretty badly damaged,” DiMaggio said. "And right now they won`t let me back in. They won't allow it." Richard Cramer wrote in his book, "Joe DiMaggio: The Hero's Life", that the garbage bags DiMaggio was holding were full of about $600,000 in cash from memorabilia signings. The "Yankee Clipper" was known for trusting people less and less as he got older, and it seemed to be another sign he was looking out for himself. Joe DiMaggio was held captive for five months by his lawyer, Morris Engelberg, while he died in the hospital. Engelberg had the legendary ball player's 1936 World Series ring pried from his finger moments after he passed away. Engelberg built a trust with DiMaggio by making him more money than all of his previous business partners. However, the deceptive lawyer was hoping to take much more without DiMaggio ever knowing. Engelberg stashed hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of DiMaggio's memorabilia, like lithographs, balls, and canceled checks, without DiMaggio's knowledge, hoping to sell them and pocket the profits.Don Siegel
According to Clint Eastwood, during the filming of "The Shootist" (1976), director Don Siegel got into trouble with John Wayne. He asked Wayne to shoot the villain in the back in one of the scenes in the movie. After a long pause, Wayne asked, "You mean I shoot him in the back?". Siegel said, "Yeah, just shoot him, because he has four other guys with him". Wayne replied, "I don't shoot anyone in the back". Siegel then told Wayne that Eastwood would have shot him in the back. Wayne's face turned purple with fury and he said, "I don't care what that kid would have done, I don't shoot him in the back". An aggrieved Eastwood felt that it was a terrible error on the part of Siegel to say that he would kill a man with no warning.

Siegel was born in 1912 to a Jewish family[4] in Chicago; his father was Samuel Siegel, a mandolin player.[5] Siegel attended schools in New York, then moved to England to study at Jesus College, Cambridge and Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.[1] For a short time, he studied at Beaux Arts in Paris, but left at age 20 and later went to Los Angeles.[6]

Muslim Turks
In 1822, Muslim Turks captured two Greek Christian women in Naousa and attempted to force them to convert to Islam. They smeared them with honey on the head and tied them exposed, so as to receive the stings of wasps and of passersby.
The first woman, wife of captain Zafeirakis, was then built into the wall up to the neck in the church of Hagia Sophia in Thessaloniki. She was left there for days for the entertainment of the wild mob that went there cursing and hitting her head with sticks as it protruded from the wall. She did not back down for a moment, strengthened until her last breath by prayer, and she never abandoned her Christian faith. Her martyrdom lasted five days. A passing gypsy woman, to hasten her end, threw a large stone at her, and thus the blessed one delivered her heroic soul into the hands of God, Whom she did not deny.
The other woman, Maria, refused to change her faith, and for this Ebub Lubut enclosed her in a sack with deadly snakes, where she was martyred.
The historian Eustathios Stougiannakis writes:
"The acute venom diffused into the veins of the martyr from the bites, however, killed her in sweet lethargy, praying until the last moment for her executioners and invoking the Most High and the Virgin."
And Pouqueville describes in the darkest colors to the civilized world the dramatic scenes he saw with his own eyes there:
"Many women naked were put up to the neck in sacks with cats, snakes, and mice…"
The lifeless bodies of these holy women were eventually thrown into the sea.
These events took place during the Naousa massacre.
13 April 1822
409 Greeks killed and over 400 enslaved.
