Leviticus 17:13-14 is specifically Levitical (Mosaic) law given to Israel, and even within that law the Watchtower selectively ignores the parallel ban on eating fat (Leviticus 3:17).

Blood Transfusions: Facts, Fictions and Fractions - Refuting The Watchtower 00:29:45 – 00:31:17

Mike applies the same hermeneutical critique to the second Watchtower proof text.

Leviticus 17:13-14 requires Israelites and resident aliens to pour out and cover animal blood when hunting, because 'the life of every creature is its blood.' Mike notes: (1) this is specifically Levitical/Mosaic law given to Israel; (2) Leviticus 3:17 says 'you shall eat neither fat nor blood' — but JWs eat fat freely, showing selective application of OT law without consistent hermeneutical principle.
