Online animal sacrifice for Eid catching on
 First it was banking, marriage matches and Eid cards, and now devout Muslims can also get the animal of their choice sacrificed online for festivities like Eid Al Adha. Many local and international are offering traditional sacrificial animals - goat, sheep, camel and cow - for sacrifice and billing it through credit card. Click here to cut the sheep's throat. Who's got the link to the webcam? Well, it does beat stepping innit on the beach at Half Moon Bay... Under the system, customers can either donate the animal directly to the poor or take home the meat from the trust office. Yes! Ship my sacrificial goat meat next day delivery via FedEx! (Add $12.95 to price) The system is also fast catching up with the people. "Hey, Fatima! Lookit dis!" "The online booking is for people who are busy and do not have enough time to visit offices or markets. We started the service two years ago but few people were aware of it. Now we have a good response from internet users," a local daily quoted Shakeel Dehlawi, director of public relations for the Alamgir Welfare Trust International, Karachi, as saying. "We offer a goat or sheep for only $84 [Rs5,000; Dh308], a full cow for $412 (Rs25,000) and a part of a cow for $60 (Rs3,600)," he said. Posted by: Fred 2006-12-19 |
