An expert has warned about children’s mental health during the Feast of the Sacrifice.
Professor Hilal Özcebe, a specialist in public health at Hacettepe University’s department of medicine, said witnessing an animal sacrifice may be detrimental to a child’s mental health. Pointing out that the animals are brought home a few days before the festival, Özcebe said:
“The child at home feeds, loves and names the animal and as a result grows close to it. The child who establishes a bond with an animal may not understand why it is sacrificed and therefore suffer from psychological trauma.”
