LORD HAVE MERCY! Bulls Tortured and Ripped Apart by Teens! Can you imagine if, for your birthday, instead of a fun party with all your friends, you were expected to torture and kill an innocent animal with your bare hands? This is the reality for teenagers as young as 14 years old during the First Fruits Festival, an annual event in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, intended to celebrate the coming of age of Zulu warriors. According to reports, approximately 40 young men push sand or mud down a bulls throat, gouge out his eyes, and twist his genitals before kicking and beating him to death and tearing his flesh apart with their hands—all of this to prove their courage. Any “tradition” that is built on a foundation of extreme animal cruelty, exploitation, and suffering, and which inflicts pain and fear on innocent, sentient animals, is neither justified, nor an expression of historical or manly pride. There can be NO HONOR, but only SHAME amongst those who condemn animals to such depraved actions! HELP STOP THIS HEINOUS ATROCITY! URGE South African officials to STOP this bloody First Fruits Festival tradition immediately! PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE WIDELY! Any religion or philosophy which is not based on a respect for life is not a true religion or philosophy. ~Albert Schweitzer https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=5137
