The authorities of Bangladesh intervened in the fate of an unusual albino buffalo named "Donald Trump," which was supposed to be sacrificed during the Islamic holiday. The animal became an internet celebrity due to its resemblance to the U.S. president and ultimately avoided slaughter.
In Bangladesh, an albino buffalo named "Donald Trump" will not be slaughtered during the sacrifice holiday after all. The government of the country intervened at the last moment to prevent this, reports NOS.
The animal, with its striking reddish tuft, had already been sold for ritual slaughter in honor of the Islamic holiday. Interior Minister Salahuddin Ahmed decided to spare the animal and transfer it to a zoo in the capital, Dhaka. The buyer will receive compensation. The value of this Trump is estimated at about 2,700 euros.
After the farmer Ziauddin Mridha's brother noticed the buffalo's resemblance to the American president ten months ago, a frenzy began around it. Due to its remarkable appearance, videos featuring the 700-kilogram bull quickly went viral. Many people visited Mridha's farm to see the "commander among bulls" for themselves.
Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh; most of their relatives have dark coloring. According to the owner, this is an astonishingly calm buffalo that requires a lot of food and regular bathing. None of this resembles the American president, but "Donald Trump" shares one trait with his famous namesake: he needs a lot of attention.
The story of the buffalo attracted attention not only because of its rare coloring but also due to its viral popularity on social media. According to the owner, the famous buffalo has a calm temperament, although, like his well-known namesake, he enjoys being the center of attention.
