During the holiday of Eid al-Adha thousands of sheep and cows are slaughtered for a feast. Most of the slaughtering is done in front of an audience so the animals get nervous. Since cows are so expensive, people take pride in killing their own cow and sharing it with their neighbors and also the poor. They like to make a spectacle of the event and put on a show for anyone who will watch. On Saturday, a Palestinian man was trying to slaughter a cow when the cow got scared and literally ran over the man, killing him. A few other people were injured by the escaped cow as well. Two similar cases occured during the holiday as well, in one case, a boy and an untrained butcher were injured by a runaway bull that was recaptured an hour later, and in the other case, another young boy was lightly injured by a runaway bull that was also captured just hours later.
