Eid al-Adha 2025: Pakistan Faces Challenges in Animal Sacrifice

Eid al-Adha 2025 in Pakistan: Challenges of Finding Affordable Animals and Butchers In Pakistan, the recent Eid al-Adha celebrations highlighted the difficulties faced by many in finding affordable sacrificial animals and reliable butchers. Aaj News captured footage illustrating the challenges, showing scenes of animal sacrifices in various locations across the country. The report underscores the informal nature of the process, with many citizens expressing concern about high prices and a lack of regulation. "Finding a reasonably priced animal was extremely difficult," said one resident interviewed by Aaj News. "And finding a butcher who was both skilled and trustworthy added to the stress." The video highlights the need for a more regulated system, not only to ensure fair pricing but also to improve safety and hygiene standards during the sacrificial process. The report suggests that government intervention could help address these concerns and make the annual event more accessible and less stressful for ordinary citizens. The hope is that future Eid al-Adha celebrations will be smoother and more equitable for all.
