Do you kill your own goat?
How many people do you know that jump on the “qurbani is against animal rights” bandwagon? Are they right, or...
Do you kill your own goat?
No
Why?
It’s gross
Hmm… so where do you think your masala ribs come from? An organ donor?
How many people do you know that jump on the “qurbani is against animal rights” bandwagon every year around Bakra Eid?
How many do you know who blindly accept that children being exposed to acts of slaughter has no deterimental effect on them?
Reading the heated debate going on underneath the post “10 things I hate about bakra Eid” inspired me to go out there and shoot some reactions myself.
While those against the practice of animal sacrifice presented “gross” and “cruel” as supporting arguments, those in favour of it had interesting responses.
The sanest voice seemed to be the one that said that the spirit of Bakra Eid is lost on us; there is no bonding with the animal and no real sense of loss minus the hefty price tag that the goat/cow comes with.
How do you feel about the slaughter of cattle in one's home?

"You kill your own goat" is the outcome of a superficial study of the unprecedented event in the history of the human race.It shows lack of insight to appreciate the underlying submission and resilience.Sacrifice is claimed in every walk of life and in every religion and creed even but according to the status of the person from it is desired. Here the person ordered to sacrifice is not an ordinary person. He is a Messenger of Allah. Allah distinguished him from other prophets by calling him His Khalil.He acted upon the revelations from Allah in dream even. He laid down his 6/7 years old child on the ground to slaughter him. He put knife on the throat of his son and applied force execute the order of Allah but the knife did not function.Angle at the order of Allah brought a sheep under the knife in place of the child..Roll played by the child is not less astonishing, He gave his willingness and readily accompanied his father to the altar willingly. This is the first and the last occasion and history cannot quote any such example.More you meditate upon it , more its significance and splendor will be unfolded. In view of this fact it has been perpetuated so that this splendid sacrifice may remain fresh in the memory of the man kind till Dome' day. The plea of Animal rights is also baseless. Firstly the animals have been created to feed the human beings. Secondly innumerable animals are slaughtered every day with out any justification by the upholders of animals rights.
