GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A Gaza health official says that a panicking cow has killed a Palestinian man who was trying to slaughter the beast during the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha.

Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats during the four-day holiday to commemorate the sacrifice by their forefather Abraham. But accidents are common as people frequently buy animals to slaughter at home instead of relying on professional butchers.

Official Ashraf al-Kidra said Saturday that another 150 more people were hospitalized in Gaza with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals attacking butchers or bystanders.

It sounds so FESTIVE. Bring home a terrified animal and try to kill it without knowing what you are doing. The perfect holiday gore and fear.

These people are crazy.

I grew up with my family killing animals periodically during the year. Goats, cows, pigs and especially chickens. No one in my family was ever injured by one of the animals, nor did we cut ourselves with the knives. These people must be truly inept at what they do.

My point exactly. I didn't grow up on a farm, but had cousins and uncles who ran farms. Gaza has a mere 1.6 million people, yet 150 are injured or killed each year ritually slaughtering animals - only once a year? It shows a truly frightening level of incompetence and ineptitude, as well as lack of knowledge of (and respect for) the animals. To me it also shows some kind sick blood-lust for the slaughter which allows the animals to remain conscious and kicking during the process.

Why so surprised? The answer is simple: They love to KILL people and animals with swords and knives and have been doing it since Mad Mohammed started their blood cult so-called religion. The good news is that sometimes the “victim” rebells and doesn’t want their throat cut and ends up killing the one with the bloody knife.

I grew up with my family killing animals periodically during the year.

My dad leased and managed a butcher shop on a small town main street when I was a kid in the 1940's- early '50's, and he often went out to nearby farms where he bought and slaughtered steers for his market. I usually went along and watched him shoot the steers between the eyes with a single shot .22 rifle, and the animal invariably fell straight down as though his legs had been jerked out from under him.

Those muzzie clowns are so adept at slaughtering innocent female family members for trivial violations of some ridiculous muzzie code of proper dress or conduct that you would think they would be equally as good at slaughtering innocent animals. Maybe they aren't very good at it because they have more experience at slaughtering innocent girls and women than killing cows and goats.
