The “Crow Down” is a “hunting contest” where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days.

The University of Puerto Rico, an "1862" LGU founded in 1900, operates a slaughter facility killing small ruminants -- typically goats and sheep, cattle being large ruminants. Some key words are in English at the website, which gives clear instructions for streaming. There's an Archive icon for possible later listening.

Environmentalists recognize the meat industry as extremely ecodestructive – including fish, dairy, eggs, feed crops with their massive use of water & topsoil and toxic runoff killing rivers and oceans, and the killing of billions of free-living animals to protect farmed animals and feed crops.
