i see your point with the veterinarian. but there are some differences i'd like to point out:
- killing hundreds (rather, tens of thousands) of animals is a given, well-known (if not often thought about) fact of our society. pretty sure most of dgz eats meat seldom thinking twice about where it came from. that hundreds of animals are killed, whether dogs or chickens, shouldn't be that shocking when thought about. - mouth to babypenis contact and babies getting STDs is shocking to most reasonable people, even "in context"
why should that it is brit milah make it any less shocking? this also assumes an acceptance of the practice (that relatively few people know about) as such, when any person can slap their own (dubious) definition, such as "medical procedure" on it. the title you proposed does not tell the reader about the reasonably shocking details that brit milah involves, so it could be seen as less shocking than it is
the point was to take off readers' cultural blinders and challenge their assumptions
would this title be "all-inclusive"?
"man sucks baby's bleeding penis as part of long-practiced jewish religious ritual, gives it herpes"
[edit] i find it quite ironic that dgz will rail against religion for saying homosexuality is wrong, but when i point out stuff like this which is directly caused by religion, i'm the bad guy
