Eid-al-Adha - Meat or Sacrifice?

Food for thought. Unfortunately, the more humans that live on Earth, the more extinctions of predatory and other species will result from our activities, which means all-the-more "management" (i.e- slaughtering of other animals by humans) to balance and regulate the ecosystem. Besides, as the author points out, meat-consumption in a majority of the Muslim and developing world is well below that of the U.S, and therefore wouldn't necessarily qualify as extreme consumption like we have here in the States. Still, I find her proposition interesting and agree with what is said regarding the incompatibility of Islamic values with intensive animal-farming methods. Now pass me that corn-on-the-cob will ya?
