This is the sickening moment a group of men thought to be U.S. soldiers cheer on a man as he beats a sheep to death with a baseball bat.

The horrific video, which was posted on YouTube, shows the cowering animal suffer a merciless assault that lasts less than 30 seconds.

It is claimed that the footage was shot in Afghanistan last month.

I saw this video and while I think this animal should have been killed more humanly.. I'm more bothered by the stupid Anti Americanism and hypocrisy of the British press

stuff like this and much worse has being going on in Islamic countries for hundreds of years ...its only because Americans are involved that this has got attention

There’s something really disturbing about people who relish in and take pleasure from either the suffering of an animal or another person. I’m not going to subject myself to the video, but it saddens me the pain this sheep had to go through for a Muslim holiday festival and the twisted pleasure of some onlookers.

Being from a farming family, killing animals happen. Common sense approach is to make it quick.

In 1485 Islamic Arabs invented the first condom by using the lower intestine of a goat.

In 1867 the English improved the invention by taking the intestine out of the goat before using it.

Those who object to this brutality don’t fully grasp what Afghanistan is. Human life has zero value there, and animals are food, if you are lucky enough to have animals. Pain and suffering mean nothing there.

It is a horrific place, really. On the plains, in summer there can be 120F temperatures with 100mph winds and the sand will strip the paint off a vehicle. In winter, the mountains are covered with thick snow, and you survive or die based on the supplies you have when stranded, because you can’t get out, and nobody can get in.

The average life expectancy is 45 years, the worst in the world except for Angola, for men and women. The have the world’s highest maternal death rate, their infant mortality rate is #2 behind Angola.

Only 28% of Afghans are literate. They get an average of only 9 years of schooling. Much of this is just memorizing the Koran.

man beating to death a sheep with baseball bat

If I saw a sheep with a baseball bat, I might beat it to death, too.

On a more series note, I wonder if the sheep was hanging around with Christians.

ID AL-ADHA - THE FESTIVAL OF SACRIFICE
Falls on the 10th day of the Islamic calendar’s last month
Muslims celebrate by slaughtering sheep, goats and cattle
It marks the end of the annual hajj pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia
The celebration is in commemoration of the prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son Ismail to show obedience to God
While part of the meat of a slaughtered animal is consumed by those involved, the other part is donated to the needy according to religious practice.

GUESS WHICH MONTH IS THE LAST MONTH ON THE ISLAMIC CALENDER.

Check out the old videos of what happened to the Russian soldiers that were captured. Brutal. Stone aged. No mercy.

While I don’t see the point in beating an animal to death with a bat I don’t have the same consternation if one was used on islam.

You should have used single quotation marks. You also forgot to double space between sentences.
