Brigitte Bardot Sparks Controversy with Harsh Criticism of Eid Al-Adha Practices

A few days before the celebration of Eid Al Adha, also called the Feast of Sacrifice (of the sheep), Brigitte Bardot, who claims to defend animal rights, attacks Muslims.

"On July 31, the disgusting religious festival of Eid al-Kebir will take place, which, as every year for years, will see the cruel sacrifice, without prior stunning, of hundreds of thousands of sheep who, after a long and painful agony...," she says in a statement.

"If Muslims in France can impose their archaic traditions on us under the powerless gaze of our governments, then where is the secularism so much advocated in all this spilled blood in the name of a religion?" she asks before calling for an "urgent reaction" from the authorities.
