Row over Morocco's 'commercial' Eid - BBC
"There have been complaints in newspapers and from politicians, that the Eid festival has become too commercialised. There are many billboard adverts with pictures of the perfect sheep. The adverts read: 'Buy a fridge and you could win a sheep, or take a loan and you can be in our sheep tombola' ... Often those who buy a sheep do not have anywhere to keep it, before it is slaughtered. Many families keep the animals waiting to be sacrificed on the balcony or in their bathrooms."
Morocco is clearly ahead of Pakistan in the evolution of their civil society. In Pakistan, most animals are kept on public property with complete disregard of a citizen's right for a clean environment. I looked up the GDP per capita rankings and Morocco comes in a few notches above us at 137 versus Pakistan at 170.
