One Question about animal sacrifies
by Shesh Lak on Feb 24, 2008 09:13 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I want to know something about barq-eid.

Why muslim scarifies animals on baqr-eid. I'm a hindu and in Hinduism also we were sacrificing in the name of god. it is no more in practice and if it is done then I totally oppose it because you can't make god happy by killing a living being and it is inhuman.
Can any muslim friend please come forward and answer me? I would appreciate that. Please answer logically, if you talk illogically taking your holy book as reference then it wont make any sense. I'm not waging a war here. Just need a clarification. but your answer must be justified with all the facts.

It has been scientifically proven that even plants are living beings just like animals and people. even the molecules in the air are living and we kill them by breathing in. this is how we all survive. If killing goats is wrong, then so is eating plants and therefore we must not eat anything and starve ourselves to death. Can we blame a lion for killing a goat for food? No, because it is their way of suviving just like our way of surviving is killing and eating animals and plants(which are also living creatures) and a goats way of surviving is to amputate the roots of living plants and gobble them up. Therefore, it is justifiable for humans to eat non-veg(including goats).
When Muslims sacrifice goats of Eid, a third of it is for the family, a third for friends and neighbors, and a third for charity for the poor, many of whom suffer malnutrition and benifit from Baqri-Eid. So, the sacrificing of goats is not inhuman.
