"Over a thousand Turks spent the first day of the Muslim feast of Eid
al-Adha in emergency wards on Sunday after stabbing themselves or
suffering other injuries while sacrificing startled animals.

At least 1,413 people – referred to as “amateur butchers” by the
Turkish media – were treated at hospitals across the country, most
suffering cuts to their hands and legs, the Anatolia news agency
