Not to condone such a gruesome display, but if you read about Eid-Al-Adha, you find at least they actually eat the animals they're killing here.

Quote:
Because God spared Ishmael, substituting a sheep in his stead, Muslims commemorate this occasion by slaughtering an animal and distributing its meat among family, friends and the needy as a special act of charity for the occasion. Because of this, many poor Muslims are able to enjoy the unusual luxury of eating meat during the four days of the festival.
Still pretty disgusting though.
