Actor Khaqan Shahnawaz has a message for everyone who thinks the third thing everyone must do on Eidul Azha after Eid prayers and sacrificing animals is to post pictures of their carcasses.
The actor posted a story on Saturday, saying, “Posting pictures of sacrificed animals is a sign of ignorance.”
He advised his followers, “Respect your sacrificial animals. You sacrifice them for God, not for social media.”
While Shahnawaz didn’t point any fingers, there is a persistent trend of people posting pictures of bloodied carcasses and even videos of themselves during the actual slaughter of animal — a graphic display most people want to see.
In a similar vein to Shahnawaz, Ali Gul Pir also had some qualms about the way people celebrate Eidul Azha. In a video posted on the first day of Eid (Wednesday), the comedian described a “nightmare” outside his house with “smells, blood running through the streets, guts lying in the open and goats hanging from utility poles”.
