The thieves have taken away the best of the goats which was bought at Rs90,000, laments Kamran's father

LAHORE: Former Test cricketer Kamran Akmal’s sacrificial animal has been stolen from outside his home in a private housing society in Lahore.

Akmal’s father said that they bought six goats for qurbani a day ago which were tied outside their home.

He said that their servant, who was tasked to look after the animal, fell asleep during the night when the incident took place, at around 3am.

“The thieves have taken away the best of them which was bought at the price of Rs90,000,” he lamented.

The management of the housing society’s security has been informed and they have assured the family they will try their best to apprehend the thieves and recover the goat.

that is true, but at the same you have to appreciate organizations that step up to sell animals or do qurbani at very subsidized rates for the poor.

Anyways, the people who stoled kammis animal, their sacrifice is not gonna count. Might be selling it oof to make an extra buck

Hardly a misery, he is wealthy enough to buy another.

But yes its disgusting to steal an animal which was for qurbani.

I remember I bought a goat in Pakistan once, the thing wouldnt shut up all night! Thankfully next morning it was pretty quiet.

Bro, it is a misery. People who steal often have this thinking that the other party is rich is it doesnt matter to them but it does, its his thing why should he bare the consequences.

Sure but Kamran Akmal is not poor. He'd be angry and rightly so but it wont change his life or he wont be miserable.

He will be rewarded twice now, one for the stolen goat and once again when he buys another.

There are bigger problems in the world.

Those look bigger than the men in the picture. It looks like they chopped off the horns on those beasts.

Kamran had his days on the pitch but he is a shady character, that I think plays a part to

What kind of human being steals a qurbani animal?

Shocking.

I may be wrong but looks like Gulabi goats. Probably the larges goat breed and most common in Pakistan.

Im not really a goat meat fan but tried these on a bbq, great chops very tasty.

Criminals wanting to resell.

 

[PakLFC]

The thief can only be one man!))))

I’m thinking that the thieves deliberately targeted Kamran, knowing that Kamran has never caught a ball in his life let alone catching a thief

Business was quieter than usual at one of Pakistan's biggest livestock markets Friday as an economic crunch stopped customers from splashing out on cows, sheep and goats for the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.

Farmers have been camped at the I-15 cattle market between Islamabad and Rawalpindi for two weeks, hoping to sell their stock ahead of the holiday, which starts Monday, but buyers are scarce.

Pakistan's economy is in the doldrums, with rampant inflation affecting everything -- including holiday spending.

Muhammad Mumtaz, who brought 50 animals to market, still had 30 left to sell.

"Inflation is so high that customers do not have the purchasing power," he told AFP as he sat on a wooden bed.

"We can't sell them cheaply," he added.

"Feed is expensive, wheat is expensive, the truck fare has doubled... so there is nothing left for us."

Like Muslims elsewhere in the world, Pakistanis usually buy an animal for slaughter over Eid al-Adha, keeping a third for themselves, a third for friends and relatives, and a third for charity.

Muslims say it commemorates the readiness of Ibrahim -- Abraham in the Christian and Jewish faiths -- to sacrifice his son to show obedience to Allah.

"Prices are very high," Khurram Taseer, a bank employee, told AFP after splashing out 140,000 rupees (around $700) for a bullock.

He said his extended family usually bought two cows for the holiday, but this year had cut down to one.

The market is divided into sections according to the type of animal, with bulls selling for 100,000 to 700,000 rupees, while goats and sheep fetch between 40,000 and 100,000.

The farmers spend time cleaning and grooming the animals, festooning them with floral garlands in the hope of attracting customers.

Still, many would-be buyers left empty-handed.

"Most people are not sacrificing animals because of the prices," said farmer Mulazim Hussain.

Shocking.

People steal (kidnap) other people’s kids and sell or sexually abuse them - talk about stealing other people’s animals.

Sadly, our country is full of such low life criminals, haram khores and dishonest people.
