One thing that the bull/Bush thing brings to mind is animal sacrifice, because I believe that is part of some Muslim religious occasions.

Follow-up questions would be:

- Are there any such occasions occuring in the near future, which would provide context for this image?

- Are bulls ever used in these sacrificial ceremonies? I would assume that goats and lambs would be more common.

A quick search found reference to a Muslim "holiday" Eid-ul-Adha, which apparently involves animal sacrifice. I will continue too look some more to see what else I can find.

Yes, that is right. The brutal islamist "holiday" of eid invilves the slaughter of innocent animals.

Yes, that's what you're looking for, it begins Feb. 1 or 2 depending upon calendar and lasts 3 days.

It's been discussed elsewhere on this thread.
