Poor drainage in city has meant that blood has combined with rain to form red floods in Bangladeshi capital
Animal sacrifices as part of the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha have combined with rain in Dhaka to form rivers of blood in the streets of the Bangladeshi capital.
Poor drainage in the city makes flooding a regular fact of Dhaka life. But the problem is rarely illustrated as vividly as it was on Tuesday, after thousands of sheep, goats and cows were slaughtered.
One of the two holiest events in the Muslim calendar, Eid al-Adha commemorates the willingness of the prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son at Gods request.
Authorities in Dhaka said they had established hundreds of designated sacrifice spots in the run-up to the festival to make it easier to clean away blood and animal carcasses.
But local media said most residents eschewed the special areas, preferring to make sacrifices in their garages or on the streets outside their homes.

I bet it smells good too.
No Bangladeshi Department of Health, I gather?
Not exactly what Enoch Powell was talking about, but not entirely irrelevant to his message either.
Where’s PETA?......................
The Bangladeshis are something else. I understand that their language is almost sing-song. They have, supposedly, great poets and singers in their culture.
Good grief. That is disgusting. Oh my goodness it must smell awful. Perhaps they’re used to that. Yuck.
Death-cult alert.
Somewhere in hell Mohammad and Satan are having a good laugh.
I hope these butchers get all kinds of diseases from their amateur-hour slaughter techniques and rivers of bacteria-laden blood.
Nothing like a good 8th Century religious celebration!
But who are we to criticize? We slaughter millions of babies and sell them for spare parts.
A Moslem’s Right to Choose.
Eid al-Adha= All-Muslims-Must-Kill-Something-Day
that’s just nasty.
It reminds me of the actress and animal rights activist in France, Brigitte Bardot, criticizing the animal practices of Islam and being prosecuted and fined by the French government for doing so......
Hindu people believe the cow is sacred and can never be killed. Cow blood in the streets must be really revolting to them.
That is a real, undoctored photo??? Gag.....
