Bakra-Eid: People in Lucknow to celebrate Bakr-Eid by cutting cakes, not goats

In a new and innovative way to celebrate Eid-Al-Adha, people in Lucknow have chosen to celebrate the most awaited festival of “Feast of Sacrifice,” by cutting cake instead of goats. The cakes will consist of a photograph of a goat on it.

Lucknow people have now found to celebrate Eid-Al-Adha in an 'eco-friendly' way to mark the festival of sacrifice. In Lucknow, a bakery is selling cakes with pictures of goats printed on it which they will cut instead of sacrificing an animal.

‘The custom of sacrificing an animal on Bakrid is not right. I appeal to everyone to celebrate the festival by cutting a cake instead of an animal,’ a buyer was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Earlier on Wednesday, the Uttarakhand High Court today imposed a complete ban on goats, sheep or buffaloes slaughtering in the open or in public on the occasion of Eid-ul-Juha directing authorities to ensure it is done only in abattoirs.

Days before Bakra-Eid, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, instructed police and relevant authorities to ensure that no animal sacrifice was carried out in the open. Similarly, the Uttarakhand High Court imposed a ban on the slaughter of goats in the open or in public on the occasion of Bakr-Eid, PTI reported.
