Jeddah, Dec 26 (NNN-APP) The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) has made arrangements for sacrificing of about 710,000 animals including 700,000 sheep and 10,000 cows and camels, so as the pilgrims could perform the main rite of sacrificing animals during Haj with ease.
“A website www.adahi.org has been designed to enable individuals intending to buy sheep or any other animal for scarifying or Odhiya to do so through a credit card or money transfer in collaboration with the National Commercial Bank,†said the President Islamic Development Bank (IDB) Dr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali.
700,000 Sheep and 10,000 Camels and Cows were sacrificed during the blood ritual.
Where is PETA when you need them? Oddly, they seem strangely quiet in the face of these sacrifices celebrating hajj.
Throwing paint on the fur coats of wealthy women in Manhattan is a little bit safer than protesting animal sacrifice in Saudi Arabia. I have to say, I’d have a lot more respect for PETA or other protesters if they’d take their protests somewhere besides the United States where there are no consequences for protesting and free speech.
Go protest in Iran - now THAT would take guts!

Peta knows that any complaints will put them on the Muzzie hit list.

And yet another reason I’m thankful that the Lord paid the ultimate price.
