Muslims in Bangladesh are making preparations for Eid al Adha (December 9 this year), known here as Qurbani Eid, which means "sacrificing" Eid. This festival is in memory of Abraham's willingness to offer his son Ishmael to Allah as a sacrifice. Muslims are supposed to sacrifice an animal that is dear to them in order to please Allah.

As a result the streets of Dhaka have cows moving along with the cars for the next couple of days. On Eid Day, thousands of cows will be sacrificed and the meat given away to friends, relatives, and to the poor.
