Why did the man plead anonymity especially when he claims the association is now legal and properly regulated unlike the medieval times? What kind of country are we in? This is why it's almost Quixotic for journalists to offer investigative bombshells because no official will tell you anything useful.


Why does he need to plead anonymity in the course of promoting his association?


And for those who scream animal cruelty, if you're not a vegetarian, then take your PETA/Western nonsense and shove it.

Ram sport.promoters association of Nigeria (RSPAN). Lolz

Well,such is life.

Why is there no vet doctor among the match officials. It seems to me that the health of the ram should be of great concern to the association.

Naija no get handiwork....

Would luv to watch a fight some day.

She's right. Islam detests this practice - it's so bad that clerics have to won faithfuls to desist from such practice during 'illeya' in Nigeria. It's ignorance that makes some people think it's 'fun'. Even when the animal is being slaughtered, there are certain pre-conditions to be followed, you don't just kill them like that because they're 'animals'.

If these guys want to persist in doing this, that's their business but it's good she highlighted the caution here so people don't miscontrue the practice with Islam.

Afam4eva: I saw this sports at the National sports festival in Ogun state a few years back and i think it's something that we must encourage. Let's create our own sporting events.

Come on Afam. These animals feel pain. It is cruelty to hurt animals for sport and entertainment.

I'm not really for or against it. I just happen to enjoy the sport. Maybe they should try and seek the consent of the animaals

About N1 million, is at stake at the ongoing Best of the Season Ram Championship at Jalisco Sports Centre, Bolade, Oshodi, Lagos.

You dont think there is something off about enjoying the pain of others even if they are brutes?

But it's ok to use them for sallah meat right? Why do we as human beings dwell in hypocrisy like this.

plaindealer: Cruelty to animals. ... Smh..

Did you say cruelty!!! What would you say about boxing and wrestling? What of Motor racing or Formula 1 that kills participants. What will you call that?

In Islam, this act is condemnable. It is an act of barbarism to incite hostility between animals. It is also abominable to want to change the natural way of life (fitra) of all things created.

It is one of the plot of Shaitan to arouse in us False desires of cruelty to animals. Islam forbade sliting the ears of cattle, deliberate inflicting of bodily harms to animal, changing their natural diet for fattening purpose or hyper-activity of mortal combat. It forbade punishing animals with fire or likes that brings torture or elongate their suffering at time of death.

Allaah decrees goodness in all spheres;including giving the rights of animals to them. Yes, we maltreat them cos we erroneously believe we have a control over them. NAY! They are only subdued to us by the power that creates everything living. In strenght, we are no match to them.

If u want to slaughter animal,slaughter with mercy,sharpen your kill object properly and kill in the most humane way that reduces agonies.

Some narrations from the children of Isrealites shows are some people were admitted to Paradise just cos of there kindness to animal. Likewise,some will be punished for making worldly gains from ill-treatment of animals. Infact, Allaah mentioned that some humans devoid of faith are just similar to cattles. Verily,they are even worse than cattles.

The Messenger said " Show mercy to the creatures on Earth,and The One above the heavens will show mercy to you"

"He is not part of us he that does not show mercy"

Allaah is Just! And He will judge between the animals and the hornless one will be made to retaliate for the harms done to it while on Earth by the horned ones. And all animals will be turned to dust!

If this befalls the animals,what will be the lot of the human acccomplise?

We should derive entertainment in other spheres and not in obvious act of cruelty to animals upon which our sustenance rest.

born2fuck: Ram+money=Ramoni

bros,u funny oo

plaindealer: Cruelty to animals. ... Smh..

then wat will u say about the bull sport?

@Post

Ram fighting in my opinion is animal cruelty and I do not support it at all as an animal advocate. Animals have no voice. We are their voice. In wrestling, the people involved get paid for it and they choose to engage in it. Animals on the other hand can't speak and do not voluntarily participate in this cruel sport where they are drugged and given beer. I don't know why many Nigerians are so heartless. No wonder peace deludes us in Nigeria due to our cruel nature.

A-town:


It is animal cruelty when YOU INDUCE the fight

nope its natural

“Ram owners from the 33 zones in the West,which comprises Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Kwara, assemble their rams for the annual event,” he explained.

I'm not surprised! Idleness at work. Always engaging in things that are counter-productive. Later on, they'll start looking for whose market to take over and whom to deport. SMH
