One has to be part of the raiding team to understand the cruelty inflicted to the dogs. Their muzzles shut tied by strings, their tongues swollen because they have bitten them when their snouts were forcefully tied, dead ones piled up on by the weak ones and the stench, it never leaves you; it is as horrible as the sight before you. AKF almost always bury half of the number of dogs recovered from these raids.

On September 12th, Muslims around the world will celebrate the Eid al Adha by ritually slaughtering animals. But is animal sacrifice actually required by Islam? A number of Muslim scholars argue that ritual slaughter as practiced today is unnecessary and possibly even haram (forbidden).
Sheikh Muhammad Sayed Tantawi’s 2008 fatwa, or Islamic legal ruling, states unequivocally that cruelty to animals during transport or slaughter is haram (forbidden) under Islamic law. Animal People here offers the fatwa as a resource for Muslim practitioners, animal activists, scholars, and the general public.
