[font=Courier New]As millions of Muslim pilgrims complete the final rituals of hajj
Friday in Saudi Arabia, Sulejman Dzananovic will enter a Minnesota
slaughterhouse, raise a newly sharpened blade and perform 66 ceremonial sacrifices to God…

This year local Muslims are taking the rite of sacrifice one step
further. Through a campaign called “Sacrifice This Eid For Our Neighbors,”
Chicago-area families contributed more than $64,000 to buy cows to be
killed by Dzananovic. Processed as 4-pound packages of frozen ground
beef, the entire yield from the slaughter will go to feed Chicago’s hungry,
regardless of their faith…

I am sure some of the guppies were involved in the above since we have quite a few from Chicago :k:

This was the largest meat donation to Chicago's needy families. The group running the show had set a higher target but could not reach it as many people decided to do qurbani in areas impacted by the tsunami so the people there can get the benefit of this.

If it weren't so cold, I'd love Chicago too. Anyhoot, good job donating the meat. Lets make the most of every opportunity to contribute to the society.
