Prayers and greetings all around as Pakistan celebrates Eidul Azha
Celebrations start with prayers and end with feasts.
Pakistan kicked off Eidul Azha celebrations with special prayers on Wednesday morning. Soon after greetings were exchanged, men went out in search of butchers to help them carry out their sacrifice.
Muslims across the world celebrate the annual festival of Eidul Azha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, which marks the end of the Haj pilgrimage to Makkah, and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son to show obedience to God.

With all due respect, may i suggest not showing animals being prepared for slaughter. Not everyone reading might be able to grasp the religious sentiment and may see it with a different perspective.

Dawn, try to feel what these poor animal feel before being slaughtered and if your compassion spares the life of a single animal then that would be a great sacrifice.
