News Delhi : Contradictory images went viral on social media showing the streets of Dhaka filled with animal blood. Prestigious media like CNN, India Today and The quint etc republished those photo shop images which misled audience on social media.
Later on it was proved the images were created by using photo-shop software to color the rainy water on the roads of Dhaka and many online media used these pictures without verification. It shows how irresponsible the media has turned these days.
Media misled the readers?
It may be noted that Media houses such as CNN and India Today had shared stories about Blood on Dhaka street without verifying the pictures.
The story titled,”Bangladesh: Rivers of blood run through Dhaka after animal sacrifices’‘ published by CNN is one such story based on Photo-shopped pictures.
India Today in its story, ”How Dhaka streets transformed into blood streams after Eid sacrifices and rain” falsely displayed, Horrific streams of blood were seen on Dhaka streets after Eid-al-Adha celebrations on Tuesday.
The Quint in its story titled, Paying the Price for Eid: Rivers of Blood Flow Through Dhaka also published these Photo-shop pictures. One thing in common is that almost all of these News Websites have taken Pictures from Twitter user Edward Rees without verification .
The main issue is whether en masse public slaughtering of poor and hapless animals in the name of “sacrifice” is ethical and desirable in today’s modern world? The animals being dragged and limbs pinned to ground, throat being slit, blood spilling, animal whimpering in pain, dead animal beheaded and skinned, is a gory site which should not be done in public with hundreds of animals being slaughtered and rivers of blood flowing, organs piling up and stinking. Such acts spread insensitivity and ruthlessness among people specially children. Sacrifice and helping the poor is a noble cause no one can deny. But the demonic way of doing it is unsuitable in modern times.
I don’t see the problem. Many other groups of people slaughter and eat meat. Muslims just do the same thing except they also give the meat to the poor for this special occaision. If you are going to call out muslims, you should call out ALL meat eaters/slaughterers.
Exactly! The things that Ajay described is basically done in every single part of the world, but in MUCH greater quantities, in slaughter houses. The “mass slaughtering” isn’t anything new or even unique to Muslims. The only difference is that muslims slaughter the animals to give it to the poor people. That’s why its called a “sacrifice”. Livestock is considered a part of a person’s wealth and killing one of your animals to give to the poor is sacrificing a huge portion of your wealth. If Muslims didn’t value their animals, it wouldn’t be called a “sacrifice” to begin with.
OK, I’ll call out all meat eaters; it is immoral to kill a creature, who is as capable of pleasure and pain as you are. Eating meat is not needed for human health, and is classified as a type 2a carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
What you want to prove from this news? You did not kill innocent animals on Bakri-eid? Bakri-eid is based upon violence. Muslims kill animals at their home itself.. it a height of violence. Hence we call islam a violent religion.
Perhaps India is only a region that recognizes animal rights & this is possible only due to Hindu, Buddhist & Jain religions. I am proud to be Hindu!!
@secular hindu…..a typical stinky hindutwaadi fffarrrttsss…idiot have you heard of narr bali…which your ugly n pugly kalii maataa is so fond of….have you heard of gataari festival preshravaan months in maharashtra…gadhi mai in assam…what about innocents women and kids hacked to death by your coward and proud hindu thugs in ..enginerred communal anti muslim riots …of sikhs slaughtered in delhi..of graham stains and his kids burnt alive in odishaa……ppprooouudd hiinnnnduuuu eeehhhhhhhh….shiltlump secular hindu…just empty of mental bowel in the mouth of mohan bhagwat and pravin togadiabhai…sure you will be rewarded a shaurya chakraa for your deed…..hell to hindutwaad…death to hindutwaadi bastards.
This proves that you can’t trust Media outlets, that they have published the pictures without verifying.
By the way, Before you complain muslims for killing animals and claim that India recognizes animal rights, lets not forget the hindus are top exporters of beef in India.
Just because the cows are not killed in houses doesn’t make the killing any different!
It is ironic to see hindus who happily devour meat acting like saints on the day of Eid.
Meat is obtained by sacrificing animals. If you are bothered by it, don’t eat it. No one is forcing you to.
As for Eid, animals are slaughtered and their meat is distributed to the poor.
Also, in India in the last week, muslims have been killed by so called cow vigilantes. The violence embedded in hinduism is there for everyone to see.
You’re an idiot. All they do is slaughter the meat and give the meat to the poor to eat. Muslims don’t do anything different than other meat alaughteres of other religions, infact muslims treat the animals better since Muslims don’t packk hundreds of them into a tiny room and force them to feed on each others rotting carcasses unlike western meat slaughtering factories.
“Perhaps India is only a region that recognizes animal rights & this is possible only due to Hindu, Buddhist & Jain religions.”
India can’t even recognize the rights of its people, especially women and female children, and you’re bragging about animal rights? Please. India literally has the highest rate of female infanticide. Pointing fingers at other when your own hands are bloody.
YouTube is full of videos of slaughter houses and white Christians slaughtering cows and pigs ruthlessly. Equally ruthlessly they kill human beings when they come in the way of their vested interests. Till date none killed as many human beings as white Christians did.
Dear Friend, processing of meat in an Abbattoir under scientific means and higenic condition is completely different matter. Also you people have the tendency to bring extraneous matters in any debate. One of the pet theme being western atrocities on Muslims. But you forget how many Muslims have killed Muslims. Anyway coming back to the subject, this kind of public animal slaughtering in streets is completely demonic practice. It is not any sacrifice by a human being but a torture on a poor animal and also show of ruthlessness and insensitivity which will develop violence and cruelty in children. It also doesnt help the poor because just by giving a piece of meat it will not change his life. There are much better ways to do charity and caring for poor people. Basically it is a beduin Arab practice where animal was only possession of human being. Today times have changed and India is an agrarian economy not animal based. Please do not just repeat a medieval Arabian culture in the name of religion.
@ajay…dare to prove me wrong in my previous coment to secular hindu….i throw a gauntlet..pick it up.
Dear ajay.whether the animals are slaughtered at abbattors or at homes the reaction of the animals remains same.By your logic butcher community should be the most ruthless community for they slaghter regularly.
Every act in islam carries deep logic.Islam means surrender also.Every Muslim should be ready to sacrifice everything at his disposal for the sale of Almighty,the ritual is basically to remind the act of prophet Abraham who readily agreed yo sacrifice his beloved son.
The basic requisite is to rear the animal for a period of time.so an attachment develops with the animal then personally slaughter or for the females to witness it.It’s basically training of mind for hard occasions. It’s wrong perception that whole lot of family takes pleasure in slaughter rather most painful moments for a while.
There are rituals which are central to faith.this is one among them
Resentment against slaughter at homes leading to hygiene issues is accepted.but talking about emotions and torture of animals reeks of hypocricy.
Even using animals for farmwork or using them for transport is also a torture in one sense.
Hindu goddess sitting on the lion.elephant being slaughtered to make head for Ganapati doesn’t constitute torture.
Mr ajay universe runs on logic not on emotions.Everything designed in, the universe has a purpose..
“Till date none killed as many human beings as white Christians did.”
LOL Bigoted and ignorant.
Well you are basically spreading lies. You are actually using a photoshoped images to deny the facts.
The first image was doctored by removing the red channel from the picture (to the left) and the bottom one is using a so called clone tool to make it appear as concrete.
Shame… then you wonder why Muslims and Islam are seen as frauds, sham and unthrostworthy..
@Secular Hindu
You are a Hindu and your religion does not permit animal sacrifice/slaughter. Are you sure hypocrite?
KFC is run by Hindus. They kill thousands of animals daily
Hindus eat meat in muslim restaurants.
On Bakri Eid, 90% people eating Biryani at my home are hindus.
Six out of four beef exporters are hindus. They ruthlessly kill animals. Online meat run by a BJP hindu called Pai who was infosys director.
Stop preaching hate and stop eating animals. You people dont have any agenda , only hate preaching against muslims/christians.
If you are a real hindu , can you stop animal slaughter in Venkatesh’s and Nooyi’s company?
@ Ajay
Go and teach your Hindu community to stop killing animals. KFC slaughtering thousand of animals, run by Hindus in India. Beef exporters are Hindus . Go and preach them man
Pathetic how you brainwashed bunch seek out the defenseless to honor your non existent gods. A sick bunch that want to force others and force animals into your sick archaic ways of thinking. Abraham had most probably smoked too much weed and hallucinated the voice of “god”. Religions all over has proven that it’s a violent belief system indoctrinated into children to make whatever you do wrong, right.
Pathetic human waste of oxygen.
YOU KNOW IN WHOSE HANDS MEDIA IS .
MISLEADING INFORMATION IS CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
MUSLIMS BE ALERT,BE CAREFUL
