[quote=Anonymous][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]

What the heck?!?!?!?

Why isn’t it done humanely?

This PP is just stirring up Islamophobia, that is not how it’s done.[b] It is done humanely.[/b] [/quote]

You think?  Does this look humane to you?  These are two clips from Youtube.  Don't watch if you don't want to see animal cruelty.  The jaunty music in the first clip, and the way they tie up the camel's one leg is sickening to me; the fact that kids are gathered around in the second clip is super disturbing.

They do this twice a year for Eid in the Muslim country where I am living for my job:

Tell me, why is it OK for kids to see this kind of thing and respond this way in the name of religion, while if you heard that some teens were doing the same thing for kicks to an animal in their garage or whatever your reaction would be quite different?  Remember Don't F*** with Cats on Netflix?  What that guy was doing isn't much different from the way all of these animals are killed and treated.

I have asked all of my students and Muslim colleagues in this country to never, ever speak to me about their Eid animals.  It really bothers me to hear them speak so excitedly about Eid, and to see children's faces glow as if waiting for Christmas morning or something when I know that this is what they are doing in their celebration.

In the poor Muslim country that I was born in, poor families ate meat just twice a year: during each Eid holiday. In Islam, you are required to share the slaughtered meat with poorer neighbors and family members. I bet many of those kids watching in the video are about to have meat after months of going without. These are not western countries with their huge animal slaughterhouses and daily meat consumption. Many of these Muslim countries are poor and the Eid holiday is the only time of the year that they get to eat meat! [/quote]
