Butchers Selling Dog & Donkey Meat in Okara

I just read that butchers in some parts of Pakistan are resorting to immoral acts once again by selling dog and donkey meat in various areas.

In Okara district, a police raid that was actually set to look for stray dogs at night that bit a few residents, the officers ended up discovering two brothers who used to capture dogs at night and then slaughtered them. In the morning, they sold the meat to local burger shops. The brothers were arrested and the raiding team checked a few kebab shops with a vet who declared that the meat was indeed dog meat.

Another team of officials arrested another butcher who was selling donkey meat. This meat is sold as lamb by hotels. “Sheikh Basti Okara has become the leading market for the sale of dead animal meat or that of animals that are not fit for consumption,” a doctor at the THQ hospital, Tanveer Athar said.

This is not shocking but sad. This is happening mostly because of the floods as most animals are either dead or those that have survived are not fit to be butchered. This is immoral and wrong since Muslims can't eat dog meat. And absolutely inhumane acts towards animals. I know that this post was written because the meat is not right for Muslims to use, which is true, but at the same time we, who are instructed in our religion to be kind to animals and all living creatures are so indifferent to the pain and suffering of these animals. It is not just these butchers who are wrong but even those officials in various parts of our country who often blindly kill innocent dogs calling them mad dogs and a threat to humans.

Butchers

One of my colleagues shared a few videos of Bakraeid. When we watched it together, we did even laugh a bit. Then we said, shit why do we even have to do this? Next, we are like this is not the way how it is supposed to be done.

But, I was so ticked off looking at those videos later. I am sure there are many unprofessional butchers who know jack about qurbani and the way to slaughter the animal in the right way with a sharp knife as quickly as possible so that the poor animal doesn't suffer much.

The misery is this entire concept of doing qurbani has just become very very disrespectful and inhuman. First, when people get these animals there is this showing off parade where mostly people lie about the price at which they bought the animal. In so called posh areas like defence they set up tents to put the animals outside their homes so that as many people can see what you've got this year. And then when the big day comes, unprofessional butchers come in town and slaughter the animals in a brutal way.

One of the videos was quite lethal where even after cutting the poor animal, it wasn't dead because the guy didn't do his job in the right way. The animal was on its feet and going mad in circles.

I had never seen a camel ki qurbani before so have posted the link. There were many videos for camel sacrifice also that seemed very unprofessional.

I don't know what else to say... and this has nothing to do with religious beliefs but looking at many of the videos one can say inhumanity rules here in a big way! And many of the poor animals are slaughtered in a wrong way I am sure.
