Jerusalem rabbis 'condemn dog to death by stoning'


A Jewish rabbinical court condemned to death by stoning a stray dog it feared was the reincarnation of a lawyer who insulted its judges, reports say.

The dog entered the Jerusalem financial court several weeks ago and would not leave, reports Israeli website Ynet.

It reminded a judge of a curse passed on a now deceased secular lawyer about 20 years ago, when judges bid his spirit to enter the body of a dog.

The animal is said to have escaped before the sentence was carried out.

One of the judges at the court in the city's ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighbourhood had reportedly asked local children to carry out the sentence.

An animal welfare organisation filed a complaint with the police against a court official, who denied reports that judges had ordered the dog's stoning, according to Ynet.

But a court manager told Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot the stoning had been ordered as "as an appropriate way to 'get back at' the spirit which entered the poor dog", according to Ynet.

Dogs are considered impure animals in traditional Judaism.

Oh Dear, not only the UK that has its share of cranks!

What they did was against the law (law of the country anyway....) and they will be punished, these are the most extremists religious groups in Israel, they do not mix with other people and most people don't want to mix with them.

True story, den Buut.
When I was five, I told my mother that I am no longer going to Church Sunday School because I do not believe anything I cannot see!

What do you think is actually the percentage of Christian attending Church every Sunday?

I don't know, but it's always too high, just as people going to synagogues and mosques.
