How many of us have Lamb on EASTER.... think about what that symbolizes.

That's all I'll say about that.


Eid... I celebrated it with my ex boyfriend, who was from Egypt. It was a wonderful celebration over here. We got our meat from the halal store. I hope your Eid was a happy one, Sana!

Yes, mine went great, Thank God because I didn't want mine to be like my class fellows, she doesn't really like animals so she doesn't enjoy Eid. She is also afraid of animals, Thanks for asking

Ok! caseysmom, Cataholic, pomtzu, lizbud. Listen up! Have you never eaten mutton or a goat's meat? Huh?! Well, I am dead sure you have! Have you ever thought where it came from? You must have eaten, pork, goat's meat, beef, camel's meat, chicken's meat or mutton. You must have eaten any ONE! Think of where its coming from..yes from the meat shop or you have an animal slaughtered..well, same here, so, on our Eid, we remember an ancient story, a great story from the past and we celebrate this day, don't YOU celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday?! You do RIGHT?! So, we celebrate this day in remembrance of a story from Ibrahim (Abraham)'s life! We celebrate this day by something he did, he was told to slaughter his son but Allah had better plans, He sent an angel down to put the son side and a ram in the place. So we were told by Allah to slaughter an animal (cow, sheep, goat, camel) in remembrance of the Prophet Ibrahim's act. We do NOT do butchery or we don't do cruelty to the animals! We are happy to see them because WE TOO are animal lovers, I am an animal lover and I love cows, sheep, goats and camels a lot! So, Allah told us to sacrifice something we love dearly for Him! And we sacrifice a goat, cow, sheep or a camel. From this we learn patience, self sacrifice. We like sacrificing things for Allah.
And if any of you have a problem, then don't post anything here, this thread is for those who have sense, a brain and a heart, people unlike you! Some people who have good thoughts like Karen, sparks19 or Freedom or moosmom who had enough sense to not disagree to another person's religion! People who know how to control their feelings, they might have some disagreements against my religion but they keep them to themselves and don't just blabber out! PM me if you wanna continue this argument, I'll be glad to help.

You must not have read my posts very carefully, I was defending you. I only agreed with Cataholic that this is not the best place to post this.

ooopss....Sorry about that I was too angry over "some" Pters I am sorry to have said that to you I erased your name.

[pomtzu]

Ditto!

I certainly hope we aren't going to see pics of the sacrifice, or the end result!

Excuse me young lady, but you need to get down off that high horse of yours, and read what is posted before you go off on a rampage!

Take time and read again what I said!!!!! I said that I hoped you were not going to post pictures and that was all, since that's what you indicated you intended to do. If you find that innocent comment offensive, then so be it!!! I have sense, a brain and a heart, and I don't appreciate your implications toward me.

If you want to come here and play with the big people (adults), then grow up and stop acting like a whiny little teeny-bopper.

[Cataholic]

I allowed this post, it is in The Dog House for a reason, as it deals with religion, and can be upsetting to people. Sana was posting that she was happy and excited to see the animals, but sad they would be slaughtered. In no way does she seem gleeful about the slaughter, it is just standard practice in her religion. These were not pets, but livestock raised for this purpose. As the thread title mentions slaughter, I thought that would be sufficient warning to anyone who might be upset about it to stay out of the thread and not read it.

Is that the newest rule? That as long as the thread title warns people off, that it is appropriate to post? Wowsers.

This has nothing to do with what I think is right or wrong for others, and I just knew the religious cloak would come on. Knew it.

This is a pet site. You just gotta wonder why people continue to leave....

[Catty1]

Cataholic - sana explains how this is a part of her faith. No one is cloaking anything here...it just seems it is a fact of that faith.

[sasvermont]

I think the thread should be closed. I don't know that it is going anywhere nicely.

I, too, agree that this is a pet forum and slaughtering animals doesn't fit!

You hit the nail on the head Johanna - and you know what I'm talking about. How silly of me to come back with the hopes that things might have changed some. They haven't, and never will, I'm afraid. This place just isn't what it used to be, and the change has not been for the good. Sad indeed!

[Karen]

I have always asked that folks be respectful of each other, and I am sorry that people posting about a beloved religious tradition has upset you.

Please folks, let it drop.
