Eid al-Adha Festival Sacrificed Over 10 Million Animals

Eid al-Adha, one of the most significant religious festivals in Islam, witnessed the sacrifice of over 10 million animals in Bangladesh this year. According to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, an impressive 10,408,918 animals were sacrificed during the festival, reflecting a slight increase from the 10.1 million animals sacrificed last year.

The festival, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. This year, the highest number of sacrifices took place in the capital region of Dhaka. The sacrificed animals included 4,766,859 cows, 112,918 buffaloes, 5,056,719 goats, 471,149 sheep, and a small number of other animals.

Eid al-Adha commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram to sacrifice instead, symbolizing divine mercy. Today, Muslims who have the financial means sacrifice animals to honor this tradition and distribute the meat to family, friends, and those in need.

This ritual not only fulfills a religious obligation but is also supposed to reinforce the values of charity and community. By ensuring that the less fortunate receive a share of the sacrificial meat, Eid al-Adha promotes compassion and social welfare. But, it lacks welfare for animals.
