A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh, nicknamed ‘Donald Trump’ for its distinctive blonde mane, was spared from ritual slaughter during Eid al-Adha following government intervention. The nearly 700kg animal went viral as vloggers and journalists flocked to the farm where it was raised. Authorities intervened after the buffalo was sold for ritual slaughter due to security concerns amid a surge in public interest ahead of Eid al-Adha. The government refunded the new owner, and the animal now resides in a fenced enclosure at Bangladesh National Zoo. The rare albino buffalo stood out during the peak Eid al-Adha livestock slaughter season, with its nickname potentially saving its life.
