The body was found on Shabbat, according to The Lakewood Scoop, and the local police department is treating the incident as a bias crime. Pigs are seen as the quintessentially unkosher animal and have long been used as an anti-Semitic symbol.
“We will not tolerate such acts in our town,” Lakewood Police Chief Greg Meyer told The Scoop, a local publication in the South Jersey township of 106,000.
The New York-New Jersey office of the Anti-Defamation League tweeted that “This incident is beyond horrifying & should be condemned by all.”
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has reached out to the Lakewood Police and the ADL for more information.
Did they donate the pork to a soup kitchen or homeless shelter?
So was it a Halal pig?
A turkey, chicken and pig take a stroll. The Turkey says I’ll sacrifice myself for Thanksgiving. The chicken says I’ll sacrifice myself for Shabbos chicken soup. The pig says, if it’s impossible for me to marry into the Jewish nation, then I’ll sacrifice myself on the doorstop so that I can at least be a pigelesh.
Can we be don lkaf zchos that whichever tzadik brought the chazir to the Rovs house didn’t know that it was shabbos and sincerely wanted to help the mishpacha during this covid season.
DISGUSTING, Unfortunately the Jewish community thrives on this kind of attention….They love being the victim.
