Now they're Amish, Mennonite or similar and they just sell good cheese and well-built sheds at market value and don't really bother anyone.
So... we shouldn't check child abuse and domestic violence?
I haven't heard about it and it might be a bit before I can look closely at what you shared. Can you tell me how their rates in those specific crimes compare to other groups and/or the general population? I'm not saying you're wrong but we see those same things at alarmingly high rates among police officers for example.
Why would you compare rates if you claim that they're so different from the average?
What about the allegations of animal abuse by the Amish?
As someone who lives in Amish country it is well known that you don't buy a dog from them. The worst health, most abused dogs I've ever seen came from Amish farms. I'm sure fighting dogs are worse but I've never dealt with those.
A friend rescued an Amish bred golden retriever that was deaf because it's ears got infected that bad and never treated. The dog was covered in shit and had it compacted in his ears. Who knows for how long. It took a long time to get that dog back to full health.
link?
Despite what he did to the cuccos, Link isn't Amish.
