People Book Butchers Before purchasing Animals

 are in high demand these days to the extent that many residents are trying to get them booked even before purchasing sacrificial animals for Eidul Azha.

It was really astonishing to overhear conversation between a man and a butcher at a shop along Saidpur Road. The two men were engaged in some ‘serious’ discussion over booking for slaughtering of sacrificial animals. The man was trying to convince the butcher to give him the exact time on the first day of Eid. It was also revealed that the man had not yet purchased sacrificial animals.

When asked by this scribe about the reason for early efforts, Tahir Abbasi said that it is wise to book a butcher at the earliest because a few days before Eid they will be all booked. “I have so far not purchased sacrificial animals because of their high prices. I will purchase them a day before Eidul Azha because at that time their prices will be comparatively low. However a butcher should be booked as early as possible to avoid an awkward situation on Eid,” he added.

According to people, butchers who are running their shops in Satellite Town are demanding Rs700 to Rs1,000 for slaughtering small sacrificial animals. For big animals, butchers will charge Rs1,400 to Rs1,800. People are booking them in advance and receiving slips from them as part of their ‘deal’ for slaughtering animals. More ;
