Abstract

In the modern religious calendars of Bulgarians and Muslims, some customs and superstitions related to the performance of rituals in which animals (and plants) participate have been preserved. The slaughter of roosters, lambs, pigs, calves, the torture of dogs, the tearing of fresh branches, wild flowers, etc. are widespread. All of them in our modern times are anachronistic remnants of our ancient past and have no place in the life of modern man. The practice of such rituals is sometimes inhumane and systematically pollutes and damages nature. Numerous examples are presented and calls are made for changes in the upbringing and education of young people in Bulgaria, regardless of their religious affiliation.
