Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, May 20 at 11:47 AM

The Oregonian’s movie critic Shawn Levy has turned his hand to culinary pursuits. It’s worth heading over there…just…before…lunch…hpppplerghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I thought of you, Matt, when I ripped out its kidneys....

He did.

Your attempt to be funny in regards to cooking a pig on Passover is, to say the least, distasteful (no pun intended). Not to mention the fun you have talking about how you wrestled the pig onto the barbecue - and producing a video that documents the act! You know, Shawn, as a Jew I expect more from you! Unless of course, you are utterly and completely devoid of a conscience, let alone the knowledge of the pain and suffering factory farmed animals endure each day at the hands of those you could care less about it. Let's not forget the holocaust that OUR ancestors endured because these animals live a holocaust EVERY DAY of their short lives. You need to get some education and inform yourself about factory farming and the sorrowful and oppressed lives these animals lead. For instance, did you know that in "making" veal, a calf is put into a pen in which it is unable to lay down or turn around (this is done so that there is no bruising and the meat stays tender)? This "lovely" situation lasts for about three months and then the calf is slaughtered. What a life, huh? You should be ashamed of yourself and the lack of concern and education reflected in that ridiculous article. Considered yourself boycotted, for I will NO longer read your submissions.
