(a month ago)A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh, which has been dubbed “Donald Trump” for its special blonde flock, as kind of akin to the American president, has been spared from the sacrifice of Kurban Bay following a government intervention in the last minute, an interior ministry official said on Wednesday.
The animal was already sold for ritual slaughter when authorities intervened, citing security concerns following an increase in public interest before Thursday's festival, reports Reuters.
Bangladesh's Interior Minister Salauddin Ahmed ordered that the buffalo be spared, the buyers repaid the money, and the animal moved to the national zoo in Dacha.
“At the last moment, the decision was made to save the buffalo from sacrifice due to concerns about security and the unusual level of public interest”, a ministry official said.
What started as a routine purchase for Bajram soon became a nationwide curiosity after the videos became viral. Crowds gathered at the farm, with visitors coming from a distance to see its blond balls and its quiet behavior.
The owner of the farm, Ziauddin Zidea, said the name came from his younger brother, who noticed the similarity. /Kankosova
