So here we are again… The Sacrifice Holiday in Turkey.
I will abstain from giving my own commentary here.. it would be too harsh for many to hear.
Instead I live you with this images.. and this video. Blood on the streets.
Turkey… 2009… There is little else to say…

Stupid, stupid people that are capable of doing this to another animal… I wish you went through this kind of suffering someday. I wouldn’t pity you a bit… You should not be in this world spreading suffering, you should have an extremelly painful death!
Lori Meitzen says:
I am far beyond HORRIFIED at this senseless and extremely cruel act against a gentle, innocent animal and how these human monsters say it is a “religious sacrifice”…
Surely God is NOT happy that humans do such EVIL and BARBARIC TORTURE to one of His creations and then have the audacity to call it a “religious sacrifice”
I am crying for the pure TERROR and PAIN this precious animal endured at the hands of this heartless bastard!!! This must be stopped and together, WE all must publicly oppose this brutal torture and do whatever we can to prevent another innocetn animal from being tortured like this!
Diane Ash-Smith says:
my blood is boiling with rage. I would like to take that knife and quite simply, hack his feet off and then cut his hands off so he would bleed to death. To add to this indignity i would like to do it in the middle of crowded street, so a lot of stupid morons would watch and get some sort of ?enjoyment? out of it. This type of bloodletting has been going on too long to these bulls, but to break his back legs… words fail me, i am sooo soooo angry.
Lili says:
Barbaric.
The only thing good about this video is that there were other Turkish men who were giving the barbarian knife weilding psychopath a hard time. Clearly not all people in Turkey adhere to this disgusting barbaric practice.
O, I feel so sorry for animals, be it in Turkey, or at so called civilized abbatoirs. Some humans are lacking in empathy and compassion and these humans are what I consisder subhuman.
Zizi says:
Only the most ignorant, barbaric and uncivilized of people would be capable of such unconscionable acts of cruelty. There is no benevolent, all-powerful God/diety that would be appeased or look favorably on such hideous acts…which is why these miserable bastards continue to wallow in the poverty, ignorance and suffering they create and perpetuate all around themselves. The governments in these countries (Turkey, Spain, Nepal, etc) exploit these primitive religious beliefs for their own purposes and refuse to forbid such “unholy” and “diabolic” acts because they prefer to keep the rabble under control and distracted from the reality of their own self-inflicted misery.
In the “civilized” countries of the West, we have “butchers” who perform these horrific acts for us in slaughter houses; factory farms imprison billions of innocent, sentient creatures (sheep, cows, pigs, turkeys, geese, rabbits, chickens) who suffer in silence and never see the light of day. This allows us to sleep well at night, go to Church on Sunday and proclaim our compassion and civility.
Grace Waszkiewicz says:
Nothing will change – never – if children are watching. They become desensitized and it all continues into the next generation. Education is the only way out of this vicious cycle.
Louise Odams says:
This is absolutely disgusting. It is time for this brutality to be stopped. How can people be such evil things and just stand there and do this to a sentient being? Eye for an eye, what comes around goes around, these people will get their come uppence. it’s called Karma.

Eres un hijo de puta asqueroso ignorante y todos los que festejais estas mierdas. HIJOS DE PUTA
isabel says:
Hijo de puta, porque no te cortan a ti el pito y los huevos y los cuelgan en la plaza pública.
Melissa Webber says:
THIS IS INHUMANE AND EVIL AND MUST BE STOPPED
Cruelty on animals is not acceptable,how come people can find the suffering of an animal entertaining !
MPANTI NTORA says:

Hijos de puta, yo os cortaba el pito.
Against the bad treatment to animals.

Isabelle Caron says:
It is simply horrible to make animals suffer like this.
laura says:
MPANTI NTORA, PART OF EUROPE? BUT SPAIN IS PART OF EUROPE AND SPAIN TORTURES BULLS TOO! THERE ARE KILLERS IN ALL THE COUNTRIES.. THE BEST OPTION TO RESPECT ANIMALS: TO BE A VEGETARIAN. GO VEGAN! MEAT IS MURDER!!!!!!
Maria Papadopoulou says:
I couln’t believe it if I didn’t see it with my eyes. These people are not humans. Poor animal, poor humanity…

Mike Vickers says:
These people who carry out such sadistic torture to an innocent animal are complete morons and the same should be done to them in the name of a so called ‘Festival’. Absolutely disgusting in this modern age.
Viktor Larkhill says:
Adrian… you are missing the point..
annmarie devine says:
how can these people think they have the right to be so barbaric and torture animals
Ma. Angeles Guasp says:
That assassin is a stupid one, does not have to torture, is not the guilty the bull, in addition he is a human like we, that assassin are a sickly one of the mental head, the police must catch that assassin to put the jail, that stupid…. I have desire to kill that assassin…. That killer man must learn that ” The animal are alive beings, who they feel and they suffer in the same way that we human them! HE WAS OUTSIDE KILLER TO PUT IT TO THE JAIL… IT IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH TO KILL THE ANIMAL NEITHER TO TORTURE NOR CRUEL IS ENOUGH
Ma. Angeles Guasp says:
My opinion is that it does not have to torture the bull, the bull is not the guilty nothing, did not do damage to him for anything, because that killer very ugly torture to the bull, I I have desire to torture that assassin to see as it feels, in addition the bull this undergoing, if it feels pain, you you must learn that the animal are alive beings who they feel and they suffer in the same way that we human them!
Victoria Peña Loredo says:
I find appaling to see the savagery of these bloody Turks! I think it is a mistake to even consider taking them into them into the EU.They are absolute savages!!
I hope people take the hint and refuse to visit a country of such cruelty and disregard for the animal suffering! They are worse than the animals themselves!!! They may call themselves ‘men’…but they are only cowards because they would not attempt such horrific deed if the poor animal had been loose!!! I hope they rot in hell sons of bitches!!!
Denise Bennett says:
I can’t watch this because I shall breakdown. To animals we must be the devil. Cruelty is in every country – China skins animals alive for fur, Spain has bullfighting, Most countries poison street dogs, Norway hunts whales and kills the few remaining wolves. The so called civilized nations have vast laboratories where animals are experimnented upon. Let us not forget Christmas when billions of turkeys are brutally slaughter to celebrate this time of “peace”.
Lila says:
Who’s that bastard?, How come nobody has done anything to stop it, and which had been standing there watching this man murdered the bull !!!!!, nobody did anything!! stupid, fucking idiot, but pays with blood as he did, and it will die from their own blood and will pay dearly for the damage done! will pay!
Antonella says:
There’s no word to expalin my pain on watching this images. I have been suffering for all these pour animals…. My dream? No more human beings in the world. They are a shame for all the world.
They have to pay for it.
Viktor Larkhill says:

Frank B says:
Dear friends! Don’t think that every act done with a religious title is a religious act. If we are to look at people’s act and label them as Islamic, Jewish, Christian or any other than we could see no good faith in the world. Because you will always find horrible and cruel pepole among the followers of any religion, faith or doctrine. Don’t forget that humanity comes from faith. If you say that this is horrible to sacrifice animals and call it a religious act then you have to name all non-vegetarians as horrible. Aren’t you one of them? If humanity is being vegetarian then you will suffer much to be able to keep your health. It is our nature to get the necessary nourishment from meat of animals.
If anybody would like to learn the history of sacrifice for God they should look for history. Before Islamic fashion had come to world pepole were sacrificing humans. Their own son or daughter. One other issue is that Islam says you have to obey some rules to eat animals. You can’t sacrifice some very young animal. Go to places where they cut animals for food. Compare it with Islamic doctrine. Then call it barbaric if you feel ok inside.
Frank B says:
Meanwhile I am Muslim as well. I also see it a wicked act. It is also taught me by my book that I can’t even kill any little fly or ant if they are harmless to me. I can’t make them feel pain by any means. So am I horrible because I share this faith with the man in this video. If you do, you probably have some kind of fascism and prejudice inside. If we are to call any member of any faith by a title because of the act of another follower of that faith then we are prejudiced. I suggest that if you feel so please learn tolerance. This will help you live in peace with any kind of people. For a source to learn it you may start with Mevlana, one of the best known model of tolerance for the human being.
Louise says:
There is something wrong with these people. “Civilised,” society my eye. Backward barbarians. Sick.
Fulya Ulusoy says:
To all those who have decided to judge a whole nation by the actions of a man and the bull he kills in the most terrifying way; you have missed the point. The post is not about Turkey and Turkish people and how horrible and barbaric we are. It is about what humanity is capable of doing to what it considers lesser form of life.
Visit your neighborhood slaughter house and the spectacle is pretty similar if not worse. In all the modern and civilized countries around the world, every minute of the day, millions of cows, sheep, goats, rams, baby lambs and calves, deer, rabbits, ducks and chickens, pigs and little piglets, not to mention millions of tons of fish are being slaughtered. And none of that is pretty.
It is very easy to hide behind your made-in-China monitors and swear and curse at an entire nation, then go back to your veal chops.
But reflect a little and tell me what YOU do to put an end to the cruelty around you.
This blog is produced in Turkey for an animal rights organization with over 27000 members, 95% of whom are Turkish. we work hard to change things, we refuse cruelty towards animals and humans alike and we are proud of our achievements. We look within ourselves in the hope that we can change what is wrong. We try, everyday.
That man is a brute, a murderer and a butcher. This is the only time you’ll ever see him perform his disgusting job of taking lives.
Now, walk down to the nearest butcher and ask him to let you see how he kills his animals. Let’s see if you’ll be having any steak dinners after that.
Criticism? I am all for it. There is no progress without that.
But if you REALLY want to do something about cruelty to animals STOP EATING MEAT ALTOGETHER, STOP EATING EGGS AND OTHER ANIMAL PRODUCE SUCH AS MILK AND YOGURT (unless if organic), STOP WEARING LEATHER AND FUR, STOP USING STUFF TESTED ON ANIMALS, STOP GOING TO ZOOS AND CIRCUSES, STOP BREEDING YOUR DOGS AND CATS, ADOPT INSTEAD OF BUYING A PET, RALLY FOR NO KILL SHELTERS AND FIRM ADOPTION POLICIES, RALLY AGAINST HUNTING, RALLY AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION OF HABITATS…
All that can be said about this incident has already been said. Now, it is time to do something, so that this animal and many others like him will not have lost their lives in vain.
Esther Hernández says:
Como se puede ser tan sumamente hijo de puta y salvaje y permitir tal tortura, atrocidad y crueldad.Solo el ser humano es capaz de algo así. Estas imágenes lo dicen todo de nosotros.A ellos les sajaba en canal!
ana teresa says:
cabrones , indeseados, no son dignos de vivir, se deberia castigar con la misma tortura y que lo vea la gente
Avril says:
Sometimes I wish that all the animals would simply disapear from this earth .. away from us humans !!
Does that man ..that murderer even realize how stupid he looks .. I would gladly smack that grin off his face.
Anyone who thinks eating animals is ok needs to rethink .. NO ANIMAL FREELY GIVES ITS LIFE TO US TO BE EATEN !!!
I am so angry right now, and ashamed of the so called human race : (

Nuria Querol Viñas says:
Posted and distributed all over my spanish and latin american contacts in FB
I have to words to describe the rage I feel to see these monsters torturing mercilessly an innocent animal
irene barry says:
i posted the video , it made so many people really feeling devestated , just made me feel sick , just wished there something i could do , xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Angela Gunn says:
This is disgusting and evil this world is full of suffering when is man ever going to wake up and realise what there doing to this planet as well all the animals I believe in Karma what goes around comes around and these son of bitches suffer in hell when its there time to come hope they rot for eternity.
Deana Hart says:
The only thing i can add is those mental so called sub humans need to have their throats cut, they do not deserve life, evil beyond words, i really hope and pray they get what the deserve, and it won’t be a place in heaven, those low life uneducated demons are somebodies sons, husbands, brothers, what must the parents be to have brought such evil into this world
Olga Bogdasheva says:
This ugly ceremony similar to execution, it is difficult to stop. Looking at them, including women and children, it is impossible to present that they will change something in the life. They do not consider themselves as fleecers. For them it to be the man and the person. Horror. Will struggle difficult. But it is possible.
Yu Li says:
I was and am still shocked beyond belief to what I’ve just seen. It has left me with nightmares of what people are capable of doing to innocent poor animals. My heart bleeds at the suffering or the poor animal. I pray that there will be judgement for those people who inflict pain on others. Let the animal be in a better place now where he knows no suffering or pain. I feel so sad & sorry for the bull. Tears cannot express the sorrow that I am feeling.
Deb says:
what is wrong with people or should I say sub humans who could do such evil things to innocent creatures of GOD??!! GOD will punish those evil doers and bless the animals. WE must stop the evil as best we can!
Roggemans Ghislaine says:
Une telle barbarie est inadmissible dans un pays tel que la Turquie qui veut rentrer dans l’union européenne!
Enfin, c’est inadmissible tout court, comment peut-on traiter les animaux de cette façon?????
Pauvre bête, qu’a-t-elle fait pour mériter pareil traitement….
Monstrueuse humanité…..
