A boy goads the sheep in and is just as amused as the army clobbering it. Sheep are sacrificed for the holy festival of Eid which occured on November 6th, symbolically to represent a sacrifice made by Abraham of a ram when the angels told him that he had fulfilled the dream ordering him to sacrifice his young son, at which he laid down the knife and sacrificed the animal instead. Clobbering it is not sanctioned.
