Dhaka: The Bangladesh government has halted the sacrifice of a rare white buffalo named after US President Donald Trump during Eid-ul-Adha after authorities intervened due to massive public interest and security concerns.
According to Reuters, the buffalo, popularly nicknamed “Donald Trump” because of its distinctive golden-colored hair, became an internet sensation after videos of the animal went viral on social media across Bangladesh.
The rare buffalo, weighing around 700 kilograms, had reportedly been sold for sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha. However, large crowds began gathering to see the animal ahead of the festival, prompting concerns over public safety and crowd management.
A Bangladeshi Home Ministry official said Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed issued special instructions to stop the sacrifice of the buffalo. The government later refunded the buyer’s payment and arranged for the animal to be transferred to the National Zoo in the capital city, Dhaka.
The unusual case has attracted widespread attention online, with many people expressing relief after the buffalo was spared from sacrifice.
