"The widespread practice of showing the Eid Al Adha slaughtering to children can desensitize them to violence, as many families take pride in this tradition."
"My objection to the notion that children should witness slaughtering is rooted in the belief that it undermines compassion and promotes a harmful understanding of life."
The practice of animal slaughter during Eid Al Adha in Egypt often involves children witnessing the act, which can desensitize them to violence. Many families take pride in this tradition, but some, like the author's mother, oppose it for psychological reasons. The author became vegetarian at 21, facing social and religious backlash for their choice. This personal journey highlights the tension between cultural practices and ethical considerations regarding animal life and compassion.
