Personally i find this revolting, we have reached 21st century people, wakeup.

Do they eat the meat after the sacrifice or do they waste it?

Muslims have no concept of wasting food WO bhi Qurbani ka.
Sadqa musibaton ko taalne ka wahid zrea ha whether it is 21st century or 221st century.

This happened before back in the time when B737-340 AP-BEH went through the same, & black goat was Sacrificed... This is just media hype, Media should refrain from spreading news which can create Uncertainty among the Society...

Do you Eat meat , dont you Find that Revolting
People Cry about it For no reason

Animal Sacrifices in Islam is a really Special thing
the animal who is about be scarified , should see other animals being sacrificed in front of his eyes so he deosnt get scared or torture
than The knife should be really fast so animal should feel pain for long
and list goes on and That meat is not waste but it is suppose to be given to poor and needy
Nothing wrong with it ,
Now Yes As Pakistan is a islamic country nothing wrong with Following your teaching
But Pia also need to improve there service too , few years back i used PIA and have seen cockroach waking around having fun so will you eat after seeing that
they have two options close down or Repair all of there plans to modern level and than start flying back

That's the ritual considered in Pakistan that by sacrificing black goat all the sinister things gone away... Thats why Black goat is sacrificed.

Its for sacrifice and meet is distributed among poor so Allah accept that sacrifice and shower His blessing.

@RealNapster I don't know.. Check it out.. May be privacy issues.

I knew about animal sacrifice but I didn't know that the goat has to be Black in specific.

ISLAMABAD: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) may have cleared the ATR planes for flying operations, but mere clearance seemed a half-job done for the authorities as they resorted to slaughter black goat to ward off any ‘untoward happening’ in view of looming fear, ARY News reported.

According to our correspondent Salahuddin, sacrifice of the goat was given at Islamabad airport on behalf of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).



And the goat was slaughtered moments before the jet took off for first time after shakedown tests. The ‘ritual’ took place before Multan-bound flight left the Islamabad airport.

The PIA had grounded all of its 10 ATR aircrafts after the Civil Aviation Authority ordered shakedown tests of the planes.

The directions came after an ATR aircraft reportedly caught fire while on runway of Multan Airport before taking off on Sunday.

The PIA airplane PK-581 with 48 passengers on board was set to take off from Multan to Karachi when it suffered a blaze incident.

According to PIA: “It has been decided to keep all 10 ATR aircraft grounded till they are cleared after thorough examination.”

The statement said the “temporary suspension of ATR operation” will affect PIA’s flights to smaller airports like Gwadar, Turbat, Panjgur, Mohenjo Daro, Zhob, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Chitral and Gilgit.

most muslims find putting cow piss on your head utterly revolving but each to their own i guess.

I remember the saying is that you tie the animal and put your faith in the Lord. In this case it just seems like faith and ignore all else.
Has the meat been given to the poor and needy?

everyone in PIA is needy

Sada Kala ay dildar ty gorea'n no dfa kro

On topic offering a sacrifice to Almighty is another thing but to beat about it around the press is pure idiocy. Passengers are already frightened coz of these baakamal log. The Fear factor was constant but this news would act as a catalyst to increase it---

Besides the pia admin should call in some shamans to help em erode their incompetence

@djin @The Sandman @Hell hound @Doordie @Maxpane saadi airline dy directors ty kisay NY taveet pa ty

PIA becomes first Airline to become Green organic Airline fresh food . Because the last time i travel in PIA i felt they give me Cowwa biryani


Anyway on a serious note Sacrificing animal is not a problem. I know 1 guy when he would buy a car he would open the door of the 1 side and take the goat another side

 

[terry5]

should be shared to the passengers for dinner
yum yum then id fly Pia all the time
goat and dhaal

 

[third eye]

What's next..witch doctors ?

Engineers would know that sacrificing animals will not keep aircrafts in the air , maintenance will.

 

[somebozo]

These kind of superstitions dont fly an airline..its time to privatize PIA or shut it down and auction off the assets..

This kind of things happens in india too.
Both countries are similar after all.

Hinduism is not set in stone and has always changed with time. Hence Indian laws are being implemented to ban such illogical practices. On the other hand Islamic laws are set in stone and Pakistan cannot implement laws to ban such practices.

Hence there is a huge difference between India and Pakistan.

Animal Sacrifice in India is illegal.


LAW FOR OTHER SPICES
MARCH 2013

​

Q. Is it illegal to sacrifice animals?

A. Yes, animal sacrifice is illegal. The act of animal sacrifice is covered under local Municipal Corporation Acts, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It is also specifically forbidden in the following States under The Prohibition of Bird and Animal Sacrifice Act:

a) Andhra Pradesh
b) Gujarat
c) Karnataka
d) Kerala
e) Puducherry
f) Rajasthan
g) Tamil Nadu

Local Municipal Corporation Acts

Municipality laws prohibit the slaughter of any animal within a Corporation area other than in a licensed slaughterhouse. Since temples and streets, where animal sacrifices usually occur, are unlicensed, it becomes illegal to slaughter animals at these places.

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960

The Act prohibits the infliction of unnecessary pain and suffering on an animal and makes such unnecessary pain and suffering a penal offence. Sub-section (3) of section 11 PCA says that it is the duty of every person having the care and charge of any animal to take all reasonable measures to ensure the well-being of such animal and to prevent the infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering. The penalty under this Act is, in the case of the first offence, a fine which shall extend to fifty rupees and if it is the case of second or subsequent offence committed within three years of the previous offence, a fine of not less than twenty-five rupees but which may extend to one hundred rupees or with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months or with both. Also, in the case of a second offence, the offender's vehicle shall be confiscated, and he will never be allowed to keep an animal again.

Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972

This Act prohibits damage to any wild animal which under section 39 is considered to be government property. The definition of an "animal" in the Act includes amphibians, birds, reptiles and mammals and their young ones. In the case of birds and reptiles, even their eggs are included in this category. Section 51 of the Act provides the penalty for any person guilty of an offence under this Act. The accused on conviction will be punishable with imprisonment for a term of three years or with a fine of twenty five thousand rupees or with both. And in the case of a second or subsequent offence, the term of imprisonment will be seven years with a fine of ten thousand rupees. This is particularly applicable to tribal rituals that involve the catching and killing of wild animals.

Indian Penal Code (IPC)

Section 268 of IPC, 1860 enables a person to file a chargesheet to prohibit the sale or distribution of the meat obtained from a sacrificed animal in any public place, other than those which are registered for this purpose. Also, the killing of an animal in any public place amounts to a public nuisance and annoyance to the public. According to section 268 of the IPC, a person is guilty of a public nuisance, who does any act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage. Also, according to sections 269 and 270 of IPC, negligently and malignantly doing any act which is likely to spread infection of any disease dangerous to life, amounts to a punishable offence with imprisonment of two years or with a fine or with both.

India: High Court of Himachal Pradesh Bans All Religious Forms of Animal Sacrifice in the State


(Oct. 6, 2014) On September 1, 2014, the High Court of Himachal Pradesh issued an order banning animal sacrifices for religious purposes and in places of religious worship. The ban was issued in response to a number of petitions made by animal rights activists about the practice of animal sacrifice in temples or at religious festivals in several districts in the province. The order stipulates that no person “shall sacrifice any animal in any place of public religious worship, including all lands and building near such places of religious worship” and that no person shall “perform or offer to perform or serve, assist or participate or offer to serve [sic] any sacrifice of animal in any place of religious worship ceremony/Yagya [sacred fire ceremony]” nor allow such sacrifice to take place in “any place which is situated within any place of public religious worship.” (High Court of Himachal Pradesh, CWP No. 5076 of 2012, CWP No. 9257 of 2011, No. 4499 of 2012, ¶ 7 (Sept. 1, 2014), High Court website.)

On September 26, 2014, the High Court issued a judgment rejecting a plea to review its earlier order. (High Court of Himachal Pradesh, CWP No. 9257 of 2011, along with CWP No.4499/2012 & CWP No. 5076/2012 (Sept. 26, 2014), High Court website. ) After an extensive review of mostly Indian Supreme Court judgments, the Court held that “discontinuing” the religious practice of animal sacrifice would not violate articles 25 and 26 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantee to all persons the freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate their religion and for denominations to manage their own affairs in matters related to religion. (Id. ¶ 79.)

The Court, following past Supreme Court precedents which held that even though some practices are part of religious expression, they “may have sprung from merely superstitious beliefs and may in that sense be extraneous and unessential accretions to religion itself. Unless such practices are bound to constitute an essential and integral part of a religion,” they fall outside the scope of constitutional rights protection. The Court held that it could not establish that based on the material “placed on record that animal sacrifice is an essential part of the religion by making reference to the doctrines of Hindu religion itself.” (Id. ¶ 60.) The Court argued further that “if animal sacrifice is taken out, it will not result in fundamental change in the character of the Hindu religion or in its belief.” (Id. ¶ 63.)

Though the State government tried to argue that animal sacrifice for religious purposes is deeply rooted in the Hindu faith and religion since time immemorial, the Court, after a review of Hindu religious texts and scriptures, found that “these practices were prevalent only in pre-historic times” and that in “in this era, these practices have no social sanction but [are] merely based on superstition and ignorance.” Moreover, the Court also felt that that the above rights must be read together with the principles of state policy and duties of citizens for the welfare of animals enshrined under articles 48, 48-A, and 51-A of the Constitution of India. (Id. ¶ 67.)
