Butcher at Ramadan

This blood-splattered man had an array of sheep tied to his shop, and once in a while he would butcher another from the line. The sheep were terrified, and those slaughtered were hung just feet away, with their skins tied back around the meat to protect from flies. Occasionally customers would drive up and want a fresh lamb, and he would pull a new one out of the line and cut it's throat in front of the customer.
