Eid: When Sainsbury’S Just Won’T Do

[naomi24]

//A family have been filmed hacking up animal carcasses in their back yard in Dagenham. It is not known if the family — celebrating Eid al-Adha, the Muslim festival of sacrifice — slaughtered the animals at home or were simply butchering them. Sun columnist Anila Baig said Muslim families traditionally sacrifice a goat or sheep and divide it into portions for Eid al-Adha. But she added: “In this day and age, it’s extremely unusual for someone to do this themselves at home.//

Whether or not this family slaughtered the animals themselves, someone did. Animal sacrifice in 21st century Britain. Oh the joys of multi-culturalism!

What are you talking about, Ozzy?

I was talking about the link I have just put up of a cow getting skinned alive... But I guess that isn't animal cruelty, it is religious privilege........ Meh.

1ozzy, //Who really knows how the animal was killed? (something Zacs has being trying to point out)//

I’ll say again this is not about how the animals are killed …. something that Zacs, like you, has failed to comprehend.

//Now the thread, as per usual, has turned into the usual anti immigration carp.//

Not anti-immigration – anti-antiquated practices - like animal sacrifice - that have no place in the modern world.

Surely there are enough Halal places these days that they dnt need to do it at home.

Quick call the sun!! I have butchered a whole lamb and pig in my kitchen before.

[naomi24]

In the name of which God, Rockrose?

Skinning an animal alive is sick and barbaric. Sacrificing animals in the name of religion is disgusting.

Butchering a dead animal in your own kitchen is hardly comparable.

I'm glad I'm one of the more civilised members of society who can discern the difference.

1ozzy. // how do you know for a fact the animal was "sacrificed"? //

The meat was for Eid – but that’s already been said.

Try reading this:

I don’t dig.

[Rockrose]

In that day many God’s were mentioned

[Rockrose]

It’s obvious what this thread is really about, there is no evidence that the animal was sacrificed, but that doesn’t stop the usual crew and their anti Muslim rants!

[LadyCG]

Anti-Muslim or anti cruelty?

[anneasquith]

Do we think it was lamb being prepared?

//Whether or not this family slaughtered the animals themselves, someone did.///
Yes, there is no doubt that the animal being jointed/butchered in the backyard is dead.
//Animal sacrifice in 21st century Britain.//
Absolutely zero evidence of this.
Having bought a whole carcass from a (halal, most probably) butcher does *not* equate with 'sacrifice'. No doubt it will be argued that I can't prove this purchase; quite correct. But no-one can prove the reverse, either.
// Oh the joys of multi-culturalism!//
Ah.....the most telling phrase....

There is no proof of *when* the photograph was taken; it's simply convenient to hang it on the peg of 'Eid'.

Far from 'failing to understand', Zacs and I understand completely. Indeed we have been at pains to explain exactly what it is we understand.

"Jumpers for goalposts, eh....?"
Certainly makes them easier to move.

[Rockrose]

CG no evidence of animal cruelty is there?

[LadyCG]

Errr ... have you seen Talbot's link?
