Dozens of Gazans injured as they torture, slaughter cattle for Eid (video)

Palestine Today reports that 125 Gazans were injured, one seriously, as people tried to slaughter cows and bulls in the streets of Gaza for the Eid al Adha holiday.

Videos show that the people are torturing and taunting the animals in the streets, and the beasts are responding the only way they can.



Watching these videos, you can't help but to root for the animals. (The four-legged animals, that is.)



Meanwhile, so many people slaughtered cattle in the already overcrowded streets of Gaza that people were complaining that it is a health issue, as the slaughterers were leaving blood and bones and animal skins on the street. The carcasses were attracting dogs and mosquitoes.

The Hamas government did nothing to regulate or control this mass slaughter. While Gaza has five official slaughterhouses where people could go for a nominal fee, the waiting list was hours long so many Gazans decided they would prefer to slaughter animals on the street.






Israel allowed over 2000 calves to be shipped into Gaza over the past two weeks.
