Killing sacrificial animals before children

During Eid-ul-Azha I always have mixed feelings as I suffer terribly when I see that animals are being slaughtered in a festive mood right in front of our children. Even the young madrasa students help in slaughtering sacrificial animals. These slaughtering is done in open places where people can watch. I just wonder if we ever studied the impact of such slaughtering on our children's psyche. Such slaughtering should be done after making sure no child is watching. We should be sensitive to our children if we want them to be better humans. Dr. Md. Kamrul Hassan Professor Department of Physics Dhaka University
