"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Allah's plan is perfect. He is teaching us constantly and aligning our affairs in the way that's best for us. Sometimes that doesn't look like what we prayed for. Asking for what's best means staying open to whatever comes, even if it looks like the opposite of what we wanted. “W Aleikum Assalaam Sis, please be consistent with your Istighfaar and aim for high numbers 30k and above. When you are constantly doing Istighfaar there is little to no time for these thoughts, and even if Shaitan persists with these negative thoughts keep up with your Istighfaar and say it out loud ( loud enough for you to hear it ). You will see with time that these thoughts dissipate. You will also see that your Iman grows stronger with Istighfar. Istighfaar does internal Cleanse of negative thoughts and Emotions, keep up with it and see the change for your self. May Allah Swt aid you in overcoming these emotions and strengthen your Iman.” — Nafisa's final message to the Telegram group Nafisa's Fundraiser (May Allah have mercy on her): https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/help_build_a_masjid_on_behalf_of_nafisa_shire Istighfar and Surat Al-Baqarah Support Group on Telegram: https://t.me/+zP-eHfVKDQZjNmJk Lighting Up Little Hearts with Qur'an: https://zhcalligraphy.com/products/books Jazakum Allah Khair for being here, if we don't connect before then, Ramadan Mubarak to you and your loved ones, use every minute. May Allah accept from all of us and allow us to witness Laylatul Qadr and send our intentions ahead in case we don't witness it ourselves. Sincerely, Sumayah…
