Anoushey Ashraf, known to be an avid animal rights activist, has penned an important note ahead of Eidul Azha in an effort to remind people to remain gentle and kind with their sacrificial animals.
Posting a picture with a young goat in her arms, Anoushey listed down ways to ensure that one makes the most of the important festival while maintaining its sanctity. “…that time of the year where I reach out to those on my Instagram urging them to care, respect and love their animal of sacrifice,” she said before advising people on what to do and what not to do.
Highlighting perhaps the most important aspect of the festival, Anoushey said, “Please make sure to remember it’s a ‘sacrifice’ NOT ‘slaughter’ and it takes place in the most humane way possible.”
She further advised to not let children run the blade on the animals during the sacrifice and to make sure that the blade is at its sharpest so as to ensure that the animal feels minimal discomfort or pain. —agencies
