[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband grew up in a Muslim family and he still talks about how traumatizing it was to see a lamb sacrificed as a child. I’m a meat eater and still find meat factories traumatizing. Animals to be eaten are generally not treated well.[/quote]

At least the Muslims got their hands dirty and weren't hypocrites about it.[/quote]

It’s not even just that. It’s the method.

The animal’s neck is slit, not enough to kill it, just enough to make it bleed. Then the alive animal lays there until it is completely bled out with spectators celebrating.

A slow, torturous death. Think about that when you’re eating someplace with halal meat. [/quote]

[b]Please stop making things up, this is not true. The animal is killed with a swift cut instantly to prevent any pain. Islam forbids torturing animals and requires kindness to all animals. [/b]Yes, we eat meat but it is no different than any other people, except vegetarians. I find it disturbing when people like you try to vilify Muslims for eating meat, the rules are similar to kosher. If you have a problem with Muslims eating meat then you should have a problem with anyone eating meat.[/quote]

I'm not the poster you are responding to, but I want to address your points because I LIVE IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY.  I have not only been here for multiple Eids, I see firsthand how animals are treated even as pets.  Whether or not Islam forbids torturing animals and requires kindness to them, I have seen more cruelty to animals here (pets and street cats/dogs, not just Eid sacrifices) than I ever imagined was possible when living in the West.  There is just not the same respect for animals at all.

Nobody here is vilifying Muslims for eating meat.  But the reality of the way animals are treated here is shocking and disturbing.  My friends and family in the US also refuse to hear this, saying it is "racist" to speak of the casual cruelty to animals, and this is so frustrating to me because they have never witnessed it firsthand or lived in a Muslim country.

I was considering starting a Youtube channel to show the pervasive animal cruelty, but my dh wisely reminded me that someone might try to hurt me for doing it, so I'm waiting until we leave.

To continue the previous post, to be fair, poor people and women are treated pretty badly too.  The workers, "maids", and "bearers" are essentially slaves and aren't treated any better than the animals are treated.[/quote]
