Halton police investigating cow skinning video in Milton

August 28, 2018   

(CityNews) A video showing a group of men in an unknown location in Milton skinning a cow around the Muslim festival of Eid-al-Adha is garnering a lot of attention online.

“Take a look, a cow is being butchered the halal way on Eid-al-Adha as a sacrifice,” says a man in the video in Urdu.

The video has been viewed more than 100,000 times after it was retweeted by Toronto Sun columnist Tarek Fatah.

Twitter user @KishanAnanthram says, “It definitely looked like it was still alive. Its head moved a few times. So sad and horrific. Could they not kill it in a humane manner before they skinned it?”

But Halton Police say they don’t believe the animal was alive while it was being skinned.
