Important note:i am against animal sacrifice for no reason, i am against slaughtering an animal so that God get pleased and all that bullshit, i saw a post saying pagans when they killed an animal it was for the Gods to bless the meat then the pagan eats them, then i saw that compared to Eid kabir, i want to give you the berber perspective of eid kabir which is cultural more than religious, please read all before you judge , thanks.
One more time im against hurting an ant , let alone an animal.
I see many thing that muslims when they do Eid its for the God of islam etc, it may be the case in many muslim countries, but let me give you the Moroccan perspective
In Morocco in many families its less(and sometimes even not) about religion , its more about culture, the animal is stored in the fridge and the family eats it, and gives a part to charity
its more cultural than religious, children(really) love it(really! To the point if one tell his children he wont buy a sheep they will cry, every moroccan was like that when young) to see the sheep in the house they take picture with it and play with it, whenever they hear sheep sound in the street they look from window and watch it or go to the street to see it closely, also the same day the sheep is killed, there is a barbecue , add to that the same day and the next day families visit each other, believe me its more cultural rather than religious in many if not most Moroccan families.
Also the day the animal is killed it requires all family members to collaborate one has to clean one to do that the other has do this, its more of a culture.
Also in the south region of Morocco, in eid kebir, there is Boujloud festival, its also refered at as the berber halloween , which is a very very very ancient festival ( predating islam, which proves my point..)and muslims claim its haram, so its against religion, thats why im stating its more of a culture rather than religion, even the athiest moroccans enjoy the eid
And in above average or rich families the sheep is chosen wisely to guarantee the best quality of meat etc so its to consume, and meat sellers dont work for 2 weeks i think or more after the eid since no once buys meat at that period because everyone has it
Add to that , in islam eid is not 100% necesary , its but a "suna", and even if its only suna almost all Moroccans do it ,by the way i forgot a point, many during the eid they buy sheeps for poor families , who cant afford them, so its a time where some who cant afford meat during the year to get it ( i do it myself too i buy poor families sheep) and their children go crazy for it since they like to hear the noise of sheep and like the fact that they too got one and they play with it etc..
Let me continue, its only "sunah" but why almost all moroccans do it ? I said because its more of a culture , but why? Berbers have always killed animals in someting spiritually related, for example my grandfathers used to once a year buy a bull , take it to a shrine when its killed and given as charity to all people there , and in same time its for visiting the Saint.
The ancient Pagan religion of berbers made them tied to that, and thats why even if eid kabir isnt even a "Fard" they still do it and every single year.
I give you a last example, last year , for many reasons , eid kabir was canceled in Morocco, so no one had to buy a sheep, but still people went crazy over the liver and meat they bought it instead of buying the sheep and did the barbecue, i did it too, its more of a culture. In Morocco, other countries? I dont know.
Hail Satan!
