Where’s PETA when the animals need them?
Large-scale animal sacrifices marking the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha combined with heavy rains have turned the streets of Bangladesh’s capital into rivers of blood.…
Muslims traditionally mark Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, by slaughtering livestock. Usually a goat, sheep or a cow is killed to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s test of faith.
At least the meat isn’t wasted. But given the requirements of halal meat, the animals do not die mercifully.
However, PETA is too busy attending to more important matters, like lobbying for Eggs and Bacon Bay in Tasmania to have its name changed to Apple and Cherry Bay, in order to comply with veganism.
