 In the annual celebration of Bakra Eid, the ritual of sacrificing animals serves as a poignant reminder of Ibrahim’s obedience and faith. Yet, amidst the cultural significance and communal feasts, it’s crucial to confront the stark environmental realities that accompany this tradition. Here’s a closer look at how the animal food industry, central to Bakra Eid celebrations, impacts our planet: Greenhouse Gas Emissions : The animal food industry contributes approximately 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Methane: Ruminant digestion alone accounts for 44% of agricultural methane emissions. Nitrous Oxide: Emissions from manure and synthetic fertilizers used for feed crops are significant contributors. Deforestation : Livestock production is a leading driver of deforestation, responsible for around 80% of forest loss in tropical regions like the Amazon. This deforestation releases stored carbon dioxide and reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2. Water Use and Pollution : An

In this human civilization, religion is supposed to be a guiding light, a beacon of hope, and a pathway to personal and communal peace. Yet, as the recent tragic events in Reasi have starkly reminded us, religion, when twisted and contorted, ceases to be a spiritual guide and devolves into a mere tradition — one that some people are willing to kill for.

What profound message did these terrorists hope to convey by causing a bus to plunge into a gorge? That their faith, whatever it may be, commands the killing of innocents? The answer is simple yet profoundly disturbing: religion, as they practice it, has become an excuse for violenc

Yes, you heard it right, folks! In a bid to showcase their unwavering commitment to both religion and the environment, the powers that be have decided that the best way to celebrate a religious pilgrimage is by clear-cutting a forest or two. Because nothing says "devotion" like a trail of stumps and sawdust, right? Forget about sustainable practices or conservation efforts; this is about sending a message loud and clear: Mother Nature, beware! The sacred procession must go on, even if it means bulldozing through countless trees and habitats. After all, what's a little environmental devastation in the name of religious fervor, right? But fear not, dear citizens, for the government assures us that they have our best interests at heart. Who needs oxygen anyway when you can
