In a section entitled 'Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden' kind of reminded me of when some people would pull over and pick up roadkill no matter the animal, but mainly deer and at times possums or some such animal. The punishment in Leviticus is to cut off that person from the community. I do not think that would work today, but still I believe if one gets caught there is a fine of sorts, and actually unless you know that a certain person or family is really hurting that they have to eat roadkill you should offer help to them.

Leviticus 1
I have started reading Leviticus in the NIV Bible and I believe that in Chapter Six that these are possible ways for one to punished today in the criminal justice system, maybe. Maybe criminals and all who commit a crime should provide a Guilt offering of the crime(s) committed and to show atonement one must return what was stolen and provide some sort of restitution of the same or another proper value. Even if one sees as an accomplice that one should also speak up for, they are just as responsible, but depending on the punishment could be less. Pray.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The African Diaspora and History of Rhetoric: Learning to Learn
When studying the history of rhetoric, many groups were excluded from participating in power and were used, abused, and written off as inferior. Even today African nations have not recovered from being exploited by European powers.

In the old testament, didn't they believe many of those foods were unclean, leading to an unclean lifestyle for those who ate them.
This was such a balanced and fair thought, on whether road kill should be permitted or not, and how it might be considered in times of desperation. I liked reading your thoughts on this one.
