Bull Kills Cape Town Boy

[Mbuzi]

Yes, they normally use electric shock or some other form of instant kill for commercial slaughtering.
torturing an animal until it bellows then slitting its throat is hardly humane.

So electric shock is not inhumane

Do you understand that pain/suffering is not a singular and static concept. There are varying degrees...

Pain is pain. Whether it lasts 5 seconds or 5 minutes, it is still pain.

This is what happens when the Blue Bulls lose.

I suggest you look at the definition of "humane"

What is this I don't even...

Being pinched can be painful, being burned with a blowtorch is more painful.

Being pinched twice in 5 seconds can be painful, being burned with a blowtorch on and off for 2 hours is worse.

Let me ask you this question then.
Would you prefer to be shot and killed instantly or stabbed multiple times over a a period of say an hour until you died?
Assuming that those are the only two options.

I choose neither.

What difference does it make either way, in the end you're dead. People act like getting stabbed or shot is going to affect the rest of their afternoon

I expected some lame answer like that which was why I put the part about is being the only two options.
So you would be ok then judging by your answer to die a slow and painful death?

I was attempting to be funny(reference to Adventure Time).

I have no problem being "humane" towards animals we're going to kill, i just don't understand the irony in which way you die is going to improve your life

This person was shot in the head, this person burnt to death. What is the difference between them now? They both no longer exist

I give up, thanks. You are a genius

The latter can't have an open casket but on the plus side he's already semi-cremated.

IF you die, you die. Might as well make it interesting

I disagree, the guy who was burned to death is obviously better off since he got to live longer.

:wtf:

You really believe that? Seriously? :wtf:

"As it ran down the street, people moved out of the way and shouted for kids and drunken people to get out of its way."

Condolences to the boys family but wow...the statement above just makes you think about the people who live in this area.

Right, it's a bit odd. I imagine the kids running around playing and trying to avoid the constant stream of zombie-like drunks.

Daily Sun (August 1 2013) - IT WAS going to be a ritual slaughter of a bull to mark the death of Jackson Ntandiso . . . But his family chose the WRONG day, buried Jackson in the WRONG place - and they didn't LISTEN to the BULL!

THAT WAS WHY THE ANIMAL WENT MAD AND AYANDA MKENKU (10) WAS GORED TO DEATH! This is according to Ayanda's grieving family, who say the ancestors must have been angry to allow it to happen.

They say Jackson (58) was not buried according to his own wishes when the funeral took place last Saturday. Ayanda's uncle, Temba Nyama (51), told Daily Sun: "The Ntandiso family should not have held the slaughtering ritual on a Sunday. It is forbidden in Xhosa culture.

"We heard that the dead man had asked to be buried in the Eastern Cape and they did not follow his instructions. We were also told that when the family spoke to the bull, it shook its head, meaning the ritual was not blessed," said Nyama. "The ancestors must be angry with them."
