AR-News: (Pakistan) Eid ul Azha An Occasion For The Poor To Eat Meat

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Despite skyrocketing prices of the sacrificial animals, millions of Muslims 
across the globe and two million Hajj pilgrims offer sacrifice on the occasion 
of Eid-ul-Azha every year. 
The rich and affluent believers are required to sacrifice best possible 
animals in the way of Allah so that the poor ones, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, 
could eat meat to their fill atleast once a year. 
Some people rear their sacrificial animals throughout the year and decorate 
them on the Eid day. Others purchase from the local cattle markets or roadside 
sale points specially set up ahead of Eid.
