Bakri Id is a festival I've attempted to understand. However, it's one I have failed to. Every year, thousands of goats are brutally slaughtered. A ritual practiced by the Muslims, wherein they 'sacrifice' a goat or sheep in the name of God. The goats are bred, brought up, fed, fattened and in fact, loved by these people all year round only to face their inevitable fate. I definitely think it's high time they came up with a better alternative to these ridiculously barbaric practices. This mass slaughter is simply not done. It's inhumane and bloody. It's foul and morbid. It breaks my heart every year to see a bunch of goats tied together a few days before this blasted day, being escorted to their respective murder houses. If only they knew... Today I happened to see some terribly dreadful sights. Carcasses of goats lying on the ground. The details are too painful to describe. I was left nauseated with a sickening knot in my stomach.
To all those innocent goats who were made to sacrifice their lives in the name of God, I mourn for you. May your souls rest in peace.
