The other day I was walking down the Gulf road with the dogs.
Along the side with the Villas to your right and the beach to the left.
It’s a main road, quite a bit of traffic.
Beautiful area (for Fahaheel that is).

I was quite surprised when, while passing those well kept houses, I saw a stream of blood coming down one drive way.
I looked and saw the leftovers of a camel lying there. The fur from its back with some meat left on it, three grinning guys surrounding it,maybe waiting for me to turn green.
And the head in the corner at the wall. That one actually disturbed me most off all.

I kept walking.
Yes, I had the urge to take pictures and the guys probably would have posed for me.
But my dogs were close to diving into the blood and that was not something I wanted them to do.

I would have expected a sight like this in the rural areas (with a goat or such), but not at a place like this.
And what is it with meat having to be halal, but skinning an animal in these conditions?
Oh well, lots of things still to learn….

A bit of enlightenment from Jewaira on the topic:

Slaughtering an animal in one’s own home is regarded as a blessing for that house especially when blood is spilled.

The practice of sacrificing and slaughtering animals in houses is not encouraged in Kuwait and there are special public slaughterhouses. However, people still hold by the belief that it blesses the home.

In addition, according to Bedouins, camel meat has many benefits

Thanks a million!
Like I said, so much left to learn
