Pork Soup?

[Dilloduck]

Even if true, does that make it ethical to force a person in need to choose between upholding their religious principles or going hungry?

Would it be more ethical to just quit feeding all starving people ?

I can't believe how many of you are arguing that it is ethical to intentionally make it likely for a person to go hungry. Actually, upon further reflection, I guess I can.

I can't believe you would criticize anyone for feeding people for free.

I suppose vegetarians should never become in need of a food handout. They might become offended if someone offered them an animal protein.

Guess that's why you can buy everything from bacon bits to twinkies with food stamps.

Yeah, there's soooo many shelters where the only thing on the menu is meat.

Homeless, and going to a shelter for food? If they don't like the menu because of their faith then perhaps their faith can get them a job so they are'nt homeless. Screw em', find another shelter!

[Pale Rider]

I bet you'd scream bloody murder if a Muslim-run shelter demanded everyone swear allegiance to Allah before getting fed. Of course a person's religion is by their own choosing and they could eat if they chose to.

No ones asking the muslims to swear allegiance to Christianity before eating the pork soup either.

That wasn't the gist of the thread. The question is: Would it be ethical for a shelter to intentionally serve an all-pork menu for the purpose of excluding jews and muslims?

well---that's what YOU changed it into anyway.

Of course it would be unethical but I don't see that as being the original question either.

The original question was "is serving pork unethical?". I got disagreement when I said it depended on motive, that's why the question has changed. Care to take a shot at it?

I already did----how can giving food away be unethical ?

If they've served pork soup in the past, and it's only become an issue of late with new homeless muslims, then no, it's not unethical.

If someone decided, knowingly, that if they added pork soup to the menu, and hadn't served it prior, the muslims wouldn't eat it, then it's unethical.

Need more explaination?

Is it unethical to serve pork? not at all, if someone does not like the menu they can go elsewhere. And the original question had nothing to with motive, simply provoked the thought of it being handed out to feed the hungry as unethical, and again that is up to the person to choose when seeking a hand out.
