GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – A spooked cow killed a Palestinian man who was trying to slaughter the beast on Saturday during the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha, a Gaza health official said.
Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats, during the four-day holiday that began Friday, giving away much of the meat to the poor. The Muslim holiday commemorates the sacrifice by the Prophet Ibrahim, known to Christians and Jews as Abraham.
But accidents are common as people frequently buy animals to slaughter themselves instead of paying professional butchers. The festive atmosphere at the site of the slaughtering also tends to make the animals fidgety.
The 52-year-old man who died was trampled to death, and another three people were seriously injured when the cow ran wild in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, said health official Ashraf al-Kidra.
In all, he said some 150 people were hospitalized in the Palestinian territory with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals trying to break away.
Two similar incidents occurred in Pakistan on Saturday.

and mango salsa, black bean soup and fresh corn tortillas to go with it.

I am, I am! I went to chic fil a tonight before heading into work. I stopped heating beef and pork. I’m down to chicken, turkey, and seafood.
Obviously that was a typo. I stopped EATING beef and pork. Which I guess means I stopped heating it too. ;)
Good cow! Must be one of those cows on the Chic fil A billboards.
“In all, he said some 150 people were hospitalized in the Palestinian territory with knife wounds or other injuries caused by animals trying to break away.”
Knife wounds? Were the cows armed?
“I proclaim this meat to be halal oh ow ow ow.”
kil mor muzzies.
Thanks for making me laugh this morning! I sure needed that.
It is all a Zionist Plot! That cow was purchased from the English who conspired with the Zionist Entity to breed a violent variety of Jersey cow known as the Jewsey Cow. This eeeevil plot was a Moosad secret project.
Allah is all seeing, all knowing.
Now you know.
;-)
Must have been a Chick Fil-A cow.
When the muzzie raised his knife & yelled “Allahu Akbar!!”, ol’ Bossie replied “Eat more Chikin, Arselifter!!” and charged with flying hooves.
The last thing the muzzie heard was the terrible death moo.
;^)
There's far more to this than it appears. I'm betting "Lover's quarrel".
This is the result of DIY butchery practiced only once a year. It might be comparable to the occasional house fire caused by deep frying a turkey.
1 down, 5 million plus to go.
