1/12/2006: Skins for Eid



A followup to yesterday's image? The rest of the beast? Not really, as this scene is in Bangladesh. And it's not really clear how we got here -- where these skins came from. The WaPo caption says Skin traders pile cow skins by the roadside as Muslims celebrate the biggest Eid-al-Ahda festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh. But it doesn't say whether the skins come from sacrifices, whether there's a pile of heads right down the road -- or if this is just routine Bangladeshi commerce on a busy day. Anyway, the WaPo put this one up this morning so I couldn't help but bring you more beef.
