Bakr-id
Bakr-Id is on November 28th. The word bakr means a goat or sheep. Vast numbers of sheep, goats and camels are sacrificed all over the world. Camels are walked for a over thousand kilometres to die a slow, harrowing and painful death.
It is a re-enactment of Abraham’s slaughter of the ram in lieu of his son. When god gave Abraham permission to sacrifice a ram instead of his son, he did not ask Abraham to make it an annual ritual. Nor did Abraham do so.
Can something be done to stop it? Please write and sensitize local Muslims everywhere. We must stop this cruel practice.

People ! how do you even feel like harming/killing the animals just because you feel that God will be happy about it !!!! NO WAY .. God has never asked for such sacrifices. Its applicable for all the Castes and Religions. For those who sacrifice animals to satisfy GOD, do sacrifice yourself. He would be even more pleased.. Let the Animals at peace. After all, It’s their world too !!!!!!!!!!!
