Viral fame spares ‘Donal Trump’ buffalo from Eid sacrifice in Bangladesh
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh — nicknamed “Donald Trump” for its distinctive blond tuft — has been spared from Eidul Azha sacrifice after a last-minute government intervention, a Home Ministry official said on Wednesday.
The nearly 700-kg animal had already been sold for ritual slaughter when authorities stepped in, citing security concerns after a surge of public interest ahead of Thursday’s festival.
Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ordered the buffalo be spared, the buyer refunded, and the animal moved to the national zoo in Dhaka.
“At the last moment, the decision was taken to spare the buffalo from sacrifice due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest,” a ministry official said.
What began as a routine Eid purchase quickly turned into a nationwide curiosity after videos went viral. Crowds gathered at the farm, with visitors travelling from far afield to see its blond fringe and calm demeanour.
Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said the name came from his younger brother, who spotted the resemblance.
Mridha added that the animal is unusually gentle and needs careful upkeep, including frequent feeding and regular baths.
Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh, where most cattle are dark, making it a standout during the peak Eid livestock season — though it was the nickname that likely saved its life.

Literally the only living thing that has benefitted from the existence of our cow of a POTUS.

I feel sorry for the buffalo
do you get all choked up in the meat dept of the supermarket too? wtf? I thought you grew up on a farm ... it works or it's dinner.
I was invited to a charity lobster boil and hot tub party by a lady friend many years ago. I'd been there for awhile and despite the activity in the kitchen, there were no lobsters getting boiled. having worked in a seafood restaurant before, I went to investigate. the host's girlfriend (trish) was holding up the works because of her sensitivity to the perceived animal cruelty involved. I tried to explain to her that there was no place in colorado to set them free and contrary to urban legend, they did not scream getting into the large pot of boiling water and only felt pain, if any, for a second or two. after establishing that dinner was being held up by peer pressure among the bunny-huggers present in the kitchen, I stepped in. hunger made me exceed my place as a guest with the improved song and dance routine on the counter by the first 2 lobsters before tossing them into the boiling water, to the horror of trish who retreated to the hot tub part of the party, which I found both ironic and hilarious.
the meal production then progressed without a hitch, all the lobsters went from bronze to orange in a timely manner, and dinner was served. by then word of my incredibly insensitive cruelty had spread thru the party, but I was gifted an opportunity to redeem myself after my ability to crack my lobster in mere seconds was witnessed by the other diners. I ended up cracking everyone's lobster, was forgiven for my earlier lobster sins, and dinner was enjoyed by all. except by the lady friend that had invited me who felt horribly embarrassed by me in front of the host, her ex-husband, and his girlfriend. even though I had paid for her charity lobster and probably saved dinner, I didn't get laid that night and our relationship went downhill from there. a few weeks later the host's girlfriend called me and left me a message wanting to meet for a drink. I never returned her call, even though she was a real redhead (hot tub party) and taught dance workout classes.
I feel sorry for the buffalo because of who he looks like. Personally, I think he's got some good ribeyes on them bones
I did grow up on a farm. I raised pigs for 4-H projects and had no problem eating bacon with my eggs. I'm not squeamish about killing animals for food. I like to eat
for some reason, I didn't get invited back to the charity lobster boil the following years ...
I lived half of my childhood on a ranch in south park colorado, we killed and ate everything ...
Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh,
gee, it's interesting that most of your heroes seem to be pedophiles ...
And draft dodgers!
pedophile draft dodgers
does it get any worse than that?
I predict that if POS/POTUS can't rig the midterms and if the democrats take the house and senate, trump will prearrange a pardon for him and his defective spawn with dipshit vance, and then quit the office before his next impeachment and trial.
Harsh condemnation of Biden.
I think Executive pardons should be reviewed by Congress. If he pardons himself which is so illegal, his life won't be worth a plug nickel
What about those defending and deflecting for pedophile draft dodgers? Should we really consider the fecal matter better than the ass it's coming out of?
It is interesting how some folks seem to talk even when they seem clueless.
yes that's worse
thank you for your repeated demonstrations in support of that statement ...
pedophile draft dodgers that violate the emoluments clause of the constitution by selling the office for billions of dollars ...
His heroes are Democrats?
Biden is the "hero"?
While some dumbshits might erroneously think that, it's clear the 'heroes' in question are Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.
.
Just so those with low IQ's or poor educations are clear on who we're talking about here.
Prove it
Well context proves it conclusively, but of course we could just ask devangelical who he was talking about. Would that help clear it up for you?
What does it matter who he was talking about? His statement is still wrong.
His was the comment that apparently confused some enough for them to stupidly throw out other possible contenders. Now that it's settled, and very accurate as I pointed out in 3.1.13, those with few brain cells won't have to wonder anymore or make themselves look foolish by pretending not to know who the accused rapist and draft dodger in question was. Donald Trump is an accused pedophile and did dodge the draft claiming bone spurs whether you believe them real or not.
Thats nice. Now just prove they are my heros
Now that I can't do, other than point out you were the one who posted the video of a rightwing conservative pedophile playing music. But you're right, that does not make him 'your hero'.
You mentioned pedophiles. So....democrats.
Again....democrats. Unless you can prove otherwise. But they are the ones with the IQ low enough that they don't know what a woman is, think illegals are due something...
I think conservative comments completely devoid of logic or intelligence as displayed here are more than enough proof. It is hilarious though that some choose to double down on stupid even when confronted by the numerous pedophiles among their party. Being stubbornly obtuse just makes one look either really stupid or really constipated, or perhaps a little of both.
"Rightwing religious conservative either trying to think or trying to poop, or a little of both."
So you can't prove otherwise.
If that were truly the case...they'd be liberals / leftists / democrats.

Can't you come up with something a little better than "Nuh Uh" and "I know you are, but what am I?"...
Reality bother you that much?
If another song about a white buffalo came to mind I might have posted that instead.
Both. I do some of my best thinking on the pot.
The buffalo would do a better job. And it's much more fit to be President, too.
yeah, and the buffalo doesn't have a hilariously constructed comb over ...
Or a buff Rob Lowe for President?
He can't be any worse. He still looks good for a man in his 60's. At least we know he has a working brain
