The Sacrifice of the Ram is a national Islamic holiday in Morocco. At year's end, every family buys a ram and then sacrifices it as part of a religious tradition. We were at the Attaouia Market only a few days before the holiday and saw many rams being brought and sold. This pair has probably been already purchased and is being stored under a net in the back of a truck. They have no idea their days are numbered. While no people appear in this image, it implies such human values as sacrifice, tradition, faith, helplessness, and for some, perhaps even a touch of cruelty.
