Just read this on the BBC web site. They actually sacrificed the animal at the airport. This is a country that is trying to join the EU. It is soooo backwards???



A job well done is worth celebrating, but Turkish Airlines say staff went too far when they sacrificed a camel.
To mark the last delivery of 100 aircraft, maintenance workers clubbed together to buy the beast - and then consume it.

The sacrifice took place at Istanbul international airport.

"They didn't ask permission," a spokeswoman for the airline told the BBC, adding that the boss of the offending staff had been suspended.

He will remain off work while the incident is investigated.

Camel is eaten in Turkey, while the sacrifice of animals - usually sheep - is performed during the Festival of Sacrifice, marking the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son when God ordered him to.

"But it wasn't anything to do with that," said Belgin Alisan of Turkish Airlines, which was last week accepted into the Lufthansa-led Star Alliance.

"They went too far. We are really quite shocked."

Top-selling daily Hurriyet said 700kg of camel meat were distributed among the workers.

I've never eaten camel, personally but I have seen a few women with camel toes !!!!

I'm not disputing the fact you can eat camel. I'm commenting on the sacrifing in a public place and the fact it is seen as a benefit/bonus for good work!
