Refrain from cow slaughter on Eid, clerics appeal to Muslims.

[Yeti]

It is not a Sin. Period. There is no objective morality at play here. Everything is subjective. So you might consider it a sin, I dont.

Also, Slitting the throat of the animal, to bleed it, ensures the fastest death. It immediately cuts blood supply to the brain, after which the animal becomes unconscious and immediately dies. Although I wouldn't mind stunning the animal before killing. That would be even more humane.

That is not always the case it all depends on the blade used as sometimes the animals suffer because the knife used is blunt. Stunning is the best method though.




In 2003, the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC), an independent advisory group, concluded that the way halal and kosher meat is produced causes severe suffering to animals. FAWC argued that cattle required up to two minutes to bleed to death when such means are employed. The Chairperson of FAWC at the time, Judy MacArthur Clark, added, "this is a major incision into the animal and to say that it doesn't suffer is quite ridiculous."

Great to see Indian muslims enjoying the fruits of heavenly secularism.
Those who love cow meat and chopsticks should come here for eid.

First thing : There is nothing wrong with muslims in India, you can see 100s of BEEF shops in all major cities & cow-slaughtering area alloted nearly in all states except 1-2.

Second Thing : Is ability to SLAUGHTER COW are more valuable than other prospects indian muslims have?? Other prospect as Freedom of speech, No abuse of terrorism in global community, No drones , No threat of blashphemy executions, No risk of sending their daughters to schools, No electricity failures obstructing growth of bussiness & economy etc.

HOLY COW

I was thinking about buying two goats at first. But the thing is, they don't provide a lot of meat. And poor people do want a share. It'd be pity if we can't share the meat sufficiently.

That being said, as long as the meat is being shared, I think it should be fine.

Hey! I have no issues with people munching pork!

I agree with safe, hygiene slaughter houses practicing humane methods. We could use Temple Grandins methods. The slaughterhouse itself has to be designed in such a way that the animals feel no stress while going to the place to be slaughtered, and then it is stunned before being killed.

Problem is in India we fall way behind in animal welfare to countries in the west, I mean is there even a overall body which inspects these slaughterhouses to make sure they comply with health and safety? I very much doubt the Indian Govt even cares.

Another example of how Muslims are discriminated and marginalised in India that they are now forced to change what is a normal practice for Muslims elsewhere in the world. I am sure the estimed cleric will be extolling the virtues of Hindu practices and very soon ask Muslims not to say the shahada just incase Hindus are offended.

However rest assured hindutva goons all those cows will be given a descent send off in Bangladesh when they turn up here.

Why do Hindus worship the cow?

Hindus don't worship cows. We respect, honour and adore the cow. By honouring this gentle animal, who gives more than she takes, we honour all creatures.

Hindus regard all living creatures as sacred - mammals, fishes, birds and more. We acknowledge this reverence for life in our special affection for the cow. At festivals we decorate and honour her, but we do not worship her in the sense that we worship the Deity.

To the Hindu, the cow symbolizes all other creatures. The cow is a symbol of the Earth, the nourisher, the ever-giving, undemanding provider. The cow represents life and the sustenance of life. The cow is so generous, taking nothing but water, grass and grain. It gives and gives and gives of its milk, as does the liberated soul give of his spiritual knowledge. The cow is so vital to life, the virtual sustainer of life, for many humans. The cow is a symbol of grace and abundance. Veneration of the cow instils in Hindus the virtues of gentleness, receptivity and connectedness with nature.

What does a common Hindu man think of the cow? Does he consider it a deity or just a sacred animal in the sense you described?
