Stop camel sacrifice

Sun Mar 1, 2009, 4:54 PM
Ok this is going to be a big issue and i need everyone's help and i mean EVERYONE!

In the middle eastern countries there are these festivals and celebrations called Id and Haaj. During these celebrations people wear their nicest clothes, pray and have a feast. the feast usually contained of sheep, pig, cow, etc. but more recently they have been sacrificing camels.

The camels to be sacrificed should be out of work and older 25 and up.

The camels they are really sacrificing are young like 5 years old.
The camels are beaten and starved then led into the center of town, have one leg tied up so they can't run away and then have their throat slit. The people sheer and watch the poor camel bleed to death and try to get away.

I am setting up an orgainzation called Camel Guardians to put an end to this.
These animals, who give their work, heart, milk, and fur to these people are beign betrayed and killed. And i'm not talking one camel per festival, i'm talking thousands.

Some peopel say it's their religion but back in the torah and the muslim belief, camels should not be sacrificed or eaten becuase they are unclean.

The Word of God

Yahweh forbids camel meat:

"The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Say to the Israelites: "Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud. There are some that only chew the cud or only have a split hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you."’" Leviticus 11:1-4

"Do not eat any detestable thing. These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep. You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you." Deuteronomy 14:3-7

I need YOUR help to end this misery and cruelty! I am working with other camel enthusiasts to find a way to get our name out there and effectively stop the killings.

IF you know of anyway We can be more effective PLEASE let us know!

We are trying animal welfare sites, animal safeguards, and any other animal organizations we can find!
