It's brutal indeed, in a physical sense, but not necessarily unethical.
Even people busting each other's eyes and noses in boxing and UFC wrestling is brutal - but the game itself is not unethical nor condemned by Americans - it's perfectly fair and legal to make each other bleed in the face.

You seem to be able to equate anything as right purely based on it being Islamic or not. Fucking think for yourself! That's why Allah gave you a brain.
1. I do think for myself. No one else can think for me other than myself.
2. As a Muslim, I don't disagree with the actual teachings of Islam although I'm not sure if my own views are always correct, and I do disagree with the views of certain Muslims.

Yes, but the main effect is that it "halalifies" the meat for the Muslims.
Also, the meat can be distributed to poor and sick people as a means of charity (Zakaat), which is another way of coming closer to God because all good deeds will have same effect.

Yeah, I could've done that. But the one that I posted seems to be a bigger and stronger cow (so I preferred that one). And the other videos were longer.
