I used to think less about animals in the past, was generally 'human supremacist' about it and viewed most non-household pets as nothing more than food

Only recently I started becoming more aware, and I chose vegan options whenever possible, but Eid-Al-Adha came around and we bought two cows, one to keep the other for donations.

I slit the throats of both cows, and at first I got dizzy and was unable to keep praying along, and by the second I tried to focus on the scenery instead and not think about it too much

I don't know, it was a heavy experience, I went to wash my face but coming back to a bloody carcass and a detached head made me have a panic attack and I had to sit down to catch my breath

I don't think I will repeat it next year, but what am I even meant to do?

Rules

Moderation shall not be arbitrary, and this is a work in progress. We'll try to be as fair as possible, so keep these as a grounding framework:

Be polite. It doesn't matter what the issue is; we have to keep our akhlāq (أخلاق) to seriously high standards.
Keep it ḥalāl (حلال). We humbly require users not to make posts or comments that are against Islam, even technically. This rule along with the first one encompasses nearly everything, but the following rules are for additional clarification and reminder.
No promotion of violence or extremism. It will get removed immediately.
No sectarianism or bigotry. We don't all agree, but we respect each other. It doesn't matter Muslim or non-Muslim.
