8) Funny but i thought the koran preached peace and tolerance to man and beast? just how thick is the book of Animal lovers of the east...?
I went to a big wedding in morocco some years ago and it seemed there that anyone wielding a knife could cut the throat of any animal bought to the wedding and then leave it to bleed to death..But i think a camel on the runway takes the oscar !! no its not the size of the animal....its the complete isensitivity of the act my friend..imagine being a visitor arriving in your country on a plane and witnessing that.......its almost as if theres a time warp situation existing here...
And please dont link this act to the lifestyle of the Kalahari bushmen..having met some of them they are the supreme survivors in a harsh environment...they kill to survive and swiftly - they use virtually every part of the animal they kill including the sinews in the legs....they can survive without the shackles of religion as we know it and carry all they need to live on their back...they are to be admired not looked down on.

I think camels got missed out in the version they were reading!

Besides, what the hell does it taste like?

Something that big has to be tough to survive for days without water!
Not exactly in the same league as some succulent New Zealand lamb!

Perhaps its some sort of penance, you must eat camel before you die!

My money's on the rabbit stew.

When desperation sets in you talk turkey with a camel. What a waist of forum space. Next time you puritans are sitting at the table eating meat make sure you bless yourselves before you start so you won’t go to hell. If you don’t want to see them being killed then stop eating meat. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Lana,
I don't think the Admin can afford a camel but perhaps you moderators can get a lovely small lamb to share between you. It makes nice shiskebab too. The best way to celebrate Xmas or the New Year. :lol: :lol:

Hi Elko

Maybe a donkey; we have lots of those, some in high places, both sides of the Green Line!

Lana,
You must have heard about the story of Clerides walking through a graveyard one day and Makarios calling him to bring him a horse. Not sure what to do, next day Clerides takes Kyprianou with him to the graveyard. The same voice says, "Clerides, I asked you for a horse, not a donkey."!!!!
