Animal sacrifices
During the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha, animals are sacrificed in a
ritual commemorating the biblical account of God's provision of a ram
for Abraham. Over a thousand Turks ended up in hospital being treated
for injuries related to the ritual and 3 died of heart attacks trying to
restrain animals. Although illegal, even some people sacrificed animals
in their backyards and on roadsides.

Celebrating God’s provision shouldn’t entail causing unnecessary
suffering to animals for God prefers righteousness, not sacrifices. We
can celebrate God’s provision by choosing a plant-based diet.
