Less Bloody Eid
This morning I read an article in Al-Ghad (Arabic) about sacrifices made for the Adha Eid, and the hygiene problems and the scenery associated with it in the city of Amman. Living in Marj Al-Hamam made me associate the Adha Eid with the bad smell and blood on the street (sheep blood) that I saw for years at the entrance of Marj Al-Hamam, where there is a butcher store, and a temp cattle and sheep pound is set.
The good news is, this year, the 2 buildings and stores at the entrance of Marj Al-Hamam are brought to the ground, as part of the construction of the “Royal Village” that is taking place at the land of Amman International Exhibition (where Global Village was held for the last couple of years). So no blood spilled on the streets on our way to visit relatives in the Eid. Infact, I hope I won’t see any of those places around, I really can’t understand why do they insist to have them in open places where people can see it. Why not in some remote areas? Anyhow, I hope I won’t have a bloody Eid.
I suppose it is part of the hypocracy and the importance of mazaher and what people would say, we kill the sheep so that everyone knows that we have done that. So we kill them in the street and the blood can have virus and bacctaria, but that is not important as long as the people will see.
lol , when i read the topic , i thought that it has something to do with politics ………………… but i agree with u its really bad what do they do by having sheeps everywhere and the smell ………
Isam i hate to tell you this… but since they moved the shop to the other side they’re going to move the sheep too to the other side… there’s nothing that we can do…
mabrook the new theme… labeglak :)
People this butcher Isam is talking about is really sick!
It’s not about cheep and Eid only, even in regular days this stupid butcher kill cows and hang their heads within his shop entrance and put carrots and BAGDONES inside their noses.
Crap I hate meat and I really haaaaaate that psycho butcher.
We are in winter, imagine how situation will be when Eid comes in hot day in Summer! eza rbna 27yana.
It seems that indeed they had a tent for slaughtering sheeps near the street right where they are used to have it every year. which is in the land that now have the “Royal Village” project, I am not sure why they continue to allow it. What a Royal Village it is..
