South Africa is hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup in June next year. It is THE most watched sporting event in the world. Now, South African traditional leaders intend performing ritual animal slaughters in order to ?bless? (sic) the country's Soccer Stadiums for the 2010 World Cup tournament scheduled to take place June 2010.
We, the undersigned, emphatically oppose the proposed, barbaric practice of slaughtering animals in the name of 'CULTURE' and request that it be stopped.
We signed the "Stop South Africa from sacrificing animals at Soccer World Cup" petition!

There are no words in the English language adequate to describe this. It makes me feel thoroughly ashamed to be a member of the human race.

Atrocious and uncivilised. FIFA should move the World Cup to another country until South Africa drop their disgusting practices. People want to go there for sports and entertainment, and not for some kind of horror show involving the torture and death of innocent animals victims of stupid local beliefs!
