Sacked for sheep sex prank
TWO British oil workers have been sacked after simulating sex with sheep due to be slaughtered for a Muslim festival.
The animals were being killed for 30 foreign workers to celebrate Eid Al Adhha in the Algerian oil town Hassi Messaoud.
The men, who have not been named, were reported by stunned restaurant workers and guards — then sacked by their employer, US industrial giant Schlumberger.
They were accused of “sheep violation”.
A spokesman for the company — which provides services to oil firms — said: “The individuals have been dismissed because their behaviour was totally unacceptable.”
Meanwhile a police spokesman warned that local Muslims saw the sacrificing of sheep at Eid as “some-
thing very sacred”.
One ex-pat living in Algeria told The Sun: “If you relate this to teacher Gillian Gibbons they can thank their lucky stars.
“All she did was name a teddy bear Mohammed.”

They are indeed lucky that they aren’t in jail at the moment, waiting to be beheaded.

They were accused of “sheep violation”. In Waziristan, the sheep would have been accused of adultery and sentenced to rape by the village elders.

So at this point, would killing the sheep be considered sacrifices or honor killings?

It isn’t just slaughter, it is blood sacrifice.
And they were probably offended that a dirty kufir touched their sacred sheep.

They were accused of “sheep violation”. That's not going to look good on the resume.

So Christmas is now referred to as The Winter Holiday around the world but a company is getting into squables over not respecting the EID celebratory animal sacrifice?

On a related note, the sheep involved told a local reporter, “They never call, they never write. I can’t believe I shared a pasture with those infidels.”

This reminds me of my take on “Brokeback Mountain”...which was, “Why would two male shepherds have sex with each other when the job comes with a built-in harem?”
