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.

[1ozzy]

Shame you didn't make yourself clear Talbot.

"The link" explains your desires as to what I should watch very clearly.

Sorry, failed "Mind Reading 101".

Plus I'm not sure that an animal being skinned alive in another country carries any relevance to the OP of some people carving up meat in their "backyard" in the UK.

But, I am a bit slow ;-/

[naomi24]

In the name of which God, Rockrose?

[1ozzy]

From the Sun link you posted Naomi how do you know for a fact the animal was "sacrificed"?

//I’ll say again this is not about how the animals are killed//

// – anti-antiquated practices - like animal sacrifice - that have no place in the modern world.//

Make your mind up then keep digging ;-)

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

[1ozzy]

//Whether or not this family slaughtered the animals themselves, someone did//

Just possibly a licensed slaughterhouse.

Was it "sacrificed" in a humane manner Naomi, or just plain old everyday slaughtered?

Something you will never know for sure

Plenty of people say a prayer for the food they receive.

[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?

[1ozzy]

//Oh the joys of multi-culturalism! //

;-)

[1ozzy]

Apart from Talbots link there is no evidence of animal cruelty.

Someone carves meat outdoors and it's an affront to society.

[anneasquith]

Do we think it was lamb being prepared?

[jackthehat]

//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.

[1ozzy]

Doubt it would be pork Anne.
Doesn't look big enough to be beef.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Bambi for awhile.

[Rockrose]

CG no evidence of animal cruelty is there?

[LadyCG]

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