The information you have provided is somewhat uncorrelated but I get the hang of it. I don't exactly know which event you are referring to or whether you are referring to the spiritual side of things. Talking of the latter, it is a fact that some families take their animals for blessings. The issue is that if you dare to delve into the biblical side of things, the sins of the land make animals and the ground to suffer. If you delve deeper into the spiritual realm, you'll realize that there are what are called monitoring spirits which lodge in the eyes and ears of animals for onward transmission to the headquarters of the demonic kingdom. However, these are religious issues and I don't intend to raise dust with controversy in this thread anyhow.
