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 bull’s 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.”
DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO BULLS!
Please contact South African officials and urge them to STOP this bloody First Fruits Festival tradition immediately. https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=5137&utm_campaign=1113%20First%20Fruits%20Festival&utm_source=peta2%20E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert
I am horrified by the inexplicably cruel way in which teenagers are reportedly allowed to torture and kill bulls during the First Fruits Festival in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. According to reports, sand or mud is crammed down the bulls’ throats, their eyes are gouged out, and their genitals are twisted before the animals are kicked and beaten to death and their flesh is ripped apart.
Bulls are sentient beings who, like humans, experience pain and fear. Please stop allowing these animals to be tortured in a sadistic and archaic ritual. Please ban the cruel torture of bulls during the First Fruits Festival.
I believe there is a heavenly sanctuary in the parallel universe manned with angelic sentinels to which these innocent precious animal beings who have been tortured and slaughtered will be sent to live in love, peace , and happiness. This in no way will lighten the ghastley punishment the murdering abusers will receive – the difference being that their agony will never cease.
