KIlling an animal is the taking of a life and isnt Allah supposed to be compassionate and merciful? Where does the mass murder of animals fit into the compassionate theme? Why are the animals who's fear is clear for all to see, who deserve to be treated with mercy, compassion and respect, instead treated as though they are nothing? Many Muslim families now opt to give money to charity, an act which is better for the environment, better for the animals and much better for the soul. Allah the merciful would approve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
