Animal Rights Activists Disrupt Eid al-Adha Animal Slaughter In Poland
In Poland yesterday, animal rights activists disrupted Eid al-Adha celebrations that traditionally involve the slaughter of live animals. AlJazeera reports that in the village of Bohoniki, activists tried to require Muslim Tatars to comply with the requirement that animals be stunned before they are slaughtered. (See prior posting.) However religious leader Tomasz MiĆkiewicz said at least one animal was killed to keep the culture of Muslim Tatars alive.
