Résumé anglais Bloody but just : Slaughtering animals in Islam Only God, the Creator of all living beings, can make decisions about death. To kill a person or animal is to take God's place. However, He allows people to kill animals in case of need, mainly for food or even in self-defense. A body of rules organizes the Muslim's relation with wild and domestic animals. Keeping to these rules, in particular the one about ritual slaughtering practices, socializes the animal's death by controlling human violence.
