MUMBAI: Fearing a backlash from animal welfare activists, many Muslims may have to forgo sacrificing a goat on Bakri Eid. The Deonar Slaughterhouse has had to turn away many customers because traders had not supplied the abattoir with enough animals.

Mohammed Qureshi, president of the Bombay Suburban Beef Dealers Association, said, “On Sunday, there were fewer animals arriving at the slaughterhouse. Many activists along with police had stepped up patrols all over the city and detained over 10 trucks carrying animals. After that, many suppliers stopped sending trucks.”

On Sunday, the inflow of animals had gone down by more than 80 per cent. Qureshi added that the goats were priced between Rs3,500 and Rs70,000 each. Romizul Haq, who had gone to Deonar to purchase a goat, said, “The quality of goats was not impressive, and the price was unreasonable.”

On Sunday, traders sold a pair of goats for Rs40,000 per pair, Haq added.

But Qureshi said, “There were a few attractive goats, but they did not find any buyers due to the high costs. Good quality goats could not make it to the market because owners feared they would be confiscated.”
