Absolutely horrible sight I must say. I'm a lot like you in that I don't believe in animal cruelty. In my locality, the local butchers taunt the cow before killing it; sometimes you'd see them slapping it, hitting it with blunt objects and all that. Its not right at all.

This religious festival is not only horrible, it is stupid and wasteful. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do with their money or buffalo but when I see bullshit, I call bullshit. That meat could have fed some hungry people in their immediate society.

Its the same thing that grinds my gears about Christians in Nigeria; every sunday you see then adorned in expensive outfits, driving to church in honour of Jesus but ignore people that can be helped. I know they say we're suppose to allow God judge but sometimes man, reality is a cruel bitch
