Slaughter for amusement . . .shame!!!

@humanity Judging people without proper research is always cause Shame!!

Beautiful moments. I can't wait to celebrate my eid with full joy and spirit.

@humanity, Bull Fighting is torturing animal to death for amusement. This is for FOOD for the needy.

@humanity, open your eyes and see how well taken care of these animals are. and compare this to the way chicken and turkeys are raised in US and Europe for food. They spend their entire life in a cage just big enough to stand or sit. Hatred is a disease that make you go blind.

@Shoaib - why can't the needy eat vegetables...if they are dying of hunger? Why kill unnecessarily in name of God?

Why kill in the name of God? Please sacrifice bad thoughts and ego instead of killing these beautiful and innocent animals!

Very tasty .

@philosopher, you want to go veg ? that's fine. But if someone decides to eat meat for food is just fine with me.Just take a look at mother nature and see how it works.

@Sam, at the end of the day these slaughtered animals are food. as for the beautiful animal, we all be worm food in few years.

@shuaib We will be food for insects after we die naturally. But here....

All the animals are the food of each other’s if you are vegetarian; it means that you are also killing some lives to fulfill your requirements. Modern science proved that when you are cutting plants, they are feeling the same pain like animals, but what should we do? If you want life you have to destroy one life. This is the reality.

@philosopher vegetarianism is too much to ask for in present times.just ask if they could stun the animal before slaughter as they do in western countries.also,only people who are willing to sacrifice their kin for god should be allowed to do qurbani as this is what allah allowed

@Sam, that's true for human but not for some other animals. Meat consumption played a vital role in human evolution. By some research, its the meat consumption that made us "Human", yes meat consumption is responsible for the size of our brains.

@Hazbullah thats why one have to get out of cycle of death and birth by working on how to achieve that. when life is made simple and at latter part renouncing everything like sages in himalayas do, including minimal food to water and get NIRVANA.

@Hazbullah and yes plant do feel pain too. dharma is very clear that you are born to fulfill karmas both good and evil. even good deeds tie you with karma in accordance with "bhava" you felt doing so. and hence to get nirvana should be the goal. NOT EASY...............

@shuaib ..... but why it is celebration. No human can celebrate killing. God does not require anything from human being because he is self sufficient ..... so don't justify it by saying that it pleases god.

@anony : For your joy, why kill innocent animals?

@philosopher Mr. philosopher, bear in mind that vegetables and plants are also living creatures. Research shows that they also feel pain. Why kill vegetables for food?

@Hussain Yes, plants are living beings. But is there any alternate if you dont eat them ? By not killing animals you have an alternate !! Let them live and then die natural death rather than killing them immaturely for fun.

@humanity Although we are under no obligation to justify the act of Qurbani. Still i thought replying you is little necessary. Qurbani has multi benefits apart from Spiritual marking of memory. Primarily Muslims celebrate this day by sacrificing animals in the memory of our Prophet Hazrat Ibrahem (Jews & Christian also follow him) who on the command of ALLAH tried to sacrifice his son (its was test of Ibrahim if he will sacrifice his son on the command of ALLAH). While Ibrahem sliced the neck through knife to slit the throat open, ALLAH replaced his son (Ismail) with a sheep. In deed ALLAH is most kind and powerful and knows it all. Ibrahim passed his test, and ALLAH rewarded Ibrahem with this sacrifice by making all of his believers to sacrifice the animals as a memory and tribute to his act of sacrifice. This Qurbani teaches Muslims that before the command of ALLAH the whole world is secondary (including family, money, job, ect). The secondary purpose of this Qurbani is that people who dont eat meat throughout the year, through this event they get a chance to eat meat. Just to add here, these animals are well taken care of, for health and as well as for looks. So that best animals are sacrificed, people spend money on animals to purchase, this itself tests Muslims to spend money on this event instead of sacrificing their other social/personal needs to uphold the command of ALLAH. thank you!

@John... You must be joking right? Yes we do have an alternate for vegetables and i.e. meat , yummmmmm food , or well you can eat sand or stones if you want.

These animal are prohibitive

God doesn't drink blood and eat meat. He doesn't want you to kill anyone or even the animals. If you don't kill these animals, still you can survive. So, there is no reason to kill them. O ye who believe in God, someday you will realize the truth, but though it may take few more centuries to wake up from this trance.

@Rafiq thank u rafiq bhai jan for ur humanity to people like these

@asim : That's correct. It was a test of strength of faith and not a blank check to kill all these animals. Total misinterpretation of the message.

@All: There are more than 100 Billion animals slaughtered each year for food consumption according to WHO. If everyone on this planet becomes vegetarian on January 1st, 2015 then in just couple of years these animals will multiply rapidly and go beyond trillions. You will find these animals everywhere even in your back-yard. These animals will even eat your food i.e. so called Vegetables, Plants & Fruits. You have no choice to follow the nature's path i.e. eat Non-Veg food too. One can become or want to be vegetarian without any reason but nature has given us both choices and that's why we can digest Veg & Non-Veg food too. Stunning an animal may be good for animal but not for human as animal retains blood in flesh due to stunning and blood does not drain out completely. So, best way is to slaughter an animal with sharp knife & just one deep slit. Animal dies painless (not Pain Free). I hope that it is clear now.

Misnomer in the heading.It will shortly be a dead stock market!

If money of war was spent on betterment of Afghans, I am sure they had been converted to best of humans, these people are very strong both mentally, physically and emotionally

@philosopher Plants are also alive, why to kill them????

@KS009 If we stop giving birth to more children then we can control our population too, because there is no natural enemy to huamans

Sad to think that these animals will be no more in a few days !

@Bilal: You are missing point. There is huge difference between Human Beings production Vs Animal production. God has created all His creatures for some reasons. Animals give birth more frequently & quite often too because their life span is very small. Goats live hardly 1- 2 years, Lamb/Sheep live hardly 6 months - 1 year, Cows/Buffaloes live hardly 2 - 4 years, etc. Let me ask you simple questions: What shoe do you wear? Made of leather. Right. What belt do you wear around your loin? Made of leather. Right What crockery do you use? Made of Calcium Phosphate. Right. What Jacket do you wear? Mostly Leather Jackets. Right. Why use animals for Medicines Lab Testing for the benefits & cure of diseases? and list goes on & on & on ... So, where does this Leather come from & Calcium Phosphate? They all come from animals. You don't even realize that even Vegetarian people use lot of animals products and they themselves don't know or just ignorant. You simply cannot live on this planet by just becoming Vegetarian and leaving animals like that (Period). It's God way and this is how He has made us & all creatures and for each others. I hope that it is clear now. May GOD bless you & all of us.

@Bilal: Just to make it clear that I did not mean you to become Vegetarian.Here I used "YOU" in general as All Of Us.

@KS009 You are very right; I appreciate your idea and arguments.

@Sam For me it's Allah's order. Nothing beats that. It's not about killing to please God. Allah doesn't need blood or meat to be pleased. It's your taqwa and niyyah that will be rewarded. So with due deference, all those who 'so called Muslims preach otherwise and think this to be a barbaric act; you need to speak more responsibly. Thanks

@Brijesh Not joy!!! Don't sound thick please. Our Creator knows what's best for us. It's about unconditional surrender; total submission in front of Allah subhan Ta'ala.
