Many of you know about Kurban Bayram, the Muslim holiday of the sacrifice. A common practice is for the family to buy the animal they will sacrifice ahead of time and have it live with the family while they take care of it. Several of my Turkish friends have said how traumatic it was for them when their new "pet" was killed. Apparently, Turkish Psychologists are starting to agree:
"A research by Dr. Degirmencioglu and his students reveal that the children establish an emotional bond with the animals that are brought home to be sacrificed. The research also shows that the children aren't informed that the animal will be sacrificed."
Sacrificing Should Be Concealed From Child
