‘Trump’ buffalo spared sacrifice, sent to Bangladesh national zoo
A buffalo in Bangladesh nicknamed “Donald Trump” for its flowing blond hair has been spared from sacrifice after shooting to fame, and will instead be cared for at the national zoo.
Muslim-majority Bangladesh, a South Asian nation of 170 million people, celebrates Eid al-Adha, the “feast of the sacrifice,” on May 28.
The 700-kilogram bull, a rare albino buffalo with a flowing helmet of light hair resembling the signature look of the U.S. president, was due to be slaughtered to mark the day.
But hours before it faced the knife, the government stepped in to save the animal, which has become an online sensation.
