The 'eid Sacrifice [06:25]
Sacrificing the hoale sheep for 'eid al Kabir, the big sacrifice. I helped in a small way in the purchase of this haole. It is facing qibla (Mecca), and the ritual butcher says "bism'illah" (in the name of God), while offering a prayer for select family members, as he cuts it. He is Muslim, so it is halal (kosher). I asked why the sprinkling of salt on its neck. I was told it is merely tradition. And this is not considered a propitiatory sacrifice. It is only in remembrance of Abraham's (unnamed) son. It is not as painless as I've been lead to believe. The haole takes a good four minutes to die, drowning it its own blood. It is however a good deal less messy than working with fish, with their slime. This video is not for the faint of heart. If you do not want to see animals in pain, you should not watch this.

Morocco 2010 Video Diary - Video 14 - To Taxi [00:10]
Morocco 2010 Video Diary - Video 14 The man pulling the cart is taking us to our driver. Our bags are in the cart. The medina is such a maze it's very hard to find your way around. We probably could have gotten to the taxi on our own since we'd spent the past couple of days exploring, but it wasn't worth the risk.
