Why can't I feel compassion for an animal and still eat it? When I go to kill an animal I make sure the knife is already sharpened and never do it in the sight of the animal. I pet the animal, give it water or food, whatever it needs to be calmed down. I look the animal in its eyes when I slit it's throat before saying "Bismillah." I don't tie it down or anything or beat it. What's so uncompassionate about that?

And I mentioned the Bedouins because they are one of the only groups of people that are nomads the "old-fashioned way."
