The photo, by Farhan Khan, shows sacrificial animals being brought to a market in Latifabad, Hyderabad for upcoming Eid-ul-Azha.
I do have a question: Why would one name an ox or a cow as kabootar (pigeon)?
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

If I were the cow, I woudl also run for my life
bhains kud kai lai gayee qilla!
It’s 2009 and livestock transporters still haven’t figured out using a ramp avoids possible injury to the already scared animals. Maybe the poor animal will be happier and better looked after where she’s destined to go.
Love this image!
Great find, Owais!
I guess another apt headline, given teh context might have been “Holy Cow!” :-)
