Surrounded by dead sheep's

I'm walking around Bardo. 4 kilometers from the capital city, where we currently live. I hear sheep's crying,actually I been hearing sheep's

crying for while now. It hurts me. I been asking from Kais ( my fiance )” Why people need to do this, don't they hear this sheep is screaming like crazy, He seem afraid, scared. He is suffering.. WHY they need to be so cold and cruel to him...” Billions of questions, because I just cannot

understand. In gratitude of God's mercy on this human being, the Muslims sacrifice one or more sheep every year, one third of the meat is

given away to the poor. I am just wondering can we not celebrate these occasions by freeing an animal instead of slaughtering one?

I have heard that slaughtering animals on happy occasions and religious gatherings has been encouraged by religious teachings. Slaughtering animals (like sheeps), for Islamic is a way of pleasing God by giving our wealth in His path and like I said part of the meat goes to poor people.But still Im thinking, how about doing it without killing no one. Isn't there any way to feed people in this world too, I do support vegetarian way

of living 100 present.

I have heard from our neighbor a sheep screaming around two weeks, from morning till next morning non stop. Today he is quiet and I look down there ( because each morning I check how is he), I only see his dead body hanging from rope. SHIT. I have no words ,I just don't feel good at all. So so so many times Kais saw tears in my eyes, because I knew so many sheep will be killed all over the world. How people can do this

to those innocent animals.

First of September, the big celebration for Islamic people. For me, something I really cant understand even I have heard and read about why

they do this. I'm usually very openminded and permissive for new cultures, rituals, traditions, etc... But this I don't wanna be part of. I cannot

have smile in a face and tell people happy aid. For me this religion ritual to kill innocent sheep is just fine. They told me this ritual has been

forever, each family buy a sheep, keep it at their backyards or even balcony and either kill sheep buy them own hands or book a some guy

who do it for them. Everyone watching. Babies, kids, teenagers, grandpapas. See how this sheep, who have heart and soul will be killed. Who

can say its the way of celebration, even there is story behind on it in Koran. First I told to Kais that I'm not gonna come back from Europe beforethis day is over and celebrations days are gone, but because of my work, dancing in one project and our rehearsals keeps continuing I cannot escape. My only escape is to lock my self inside the house for this weekend.

I have had few conversations with Tunisians about this ritual. For some it is piece of cake, they laugh in my face when I question this ritual... But luckily I have met also some people who don't wanna be part of this ritual anymore.

I might be sensitive and caring, but I feel it. Probably more strongly because I can see it on live and feel the energies around me. The killing

energy surrounding me. God bless those innocent animals and I wish they rest in peace. Meanwhile one little sheep gave a life for the family sothey can celebrate and eat his body, I hope his soul can run free in heaven.

In general, I don't support eating animals and I think using animal products is not needed... But I really do love the idea that Islamic people really help poor people and

invest little bit for them, I just don't like the way the do it. Still I think all the people should think about this, when did you help someone who has nothing?
