Fiberaddict's Fiber Fumblings

I should add the caveat that I'm not Jewish, but I am nosy and we have a few Jewish ladies who attend the Tuesday knitting group at the LYS :) An interesting tidbit that I found out, Jewish people are not supposed to have their animals neutered, it falls under the don't cause an animal pain clause again. However, there is no law against their owning a neutered animal, so it's okay for them to adopt or purchase one that is already neutered if that's what they want. I really wanted to ask if it was okay if the Rabbi neutered the animals for them, but didn't feel it proper so I kept my mouth shut. They do seem to spend quite a bit of time wielding knives though so maybe...shutting up now :)
