*🕌 Animal Sacrifice vs Industry Slaughter: A Reality Check (قربانی - Qurbani)* Let’s break this down with a clear head. The claim that fast food giants like KFC, McDonald’s, and Burger King kill around 1 billion animals yearly sounds shocking — but when we look deeper, it's not just a random number meant to provoke. It's a reflection of a much larger, global system that operates silently every single day. *🔍 Fast Food Industry: Hidden Mass Slaughter* The U.S. alone slaughters around 8.2 billion land animals annually for food. Globally, that number soars to 70–80 billion per year. McDonald's serves 70 million customers daily — even if only 25% of them eat meat, that's over 6 billion meat-based meals annually. KFC and Burger King likely match or exceed these numbers, especially considering KFC's focus on chicken. *👉 The Reality* So yes, the 1 billion animals annually by these chains is very realistic, if not conservative. But here's the point: this isn't just a fast food problem — it's a global meat industry system. And this system, hidden behind factories and shiny logos, is rarely questioned. *🕋 Eid al-Adha (عید الاضحیٰ) and Qurbani (قربانی): Faith with Purpose* Now, let’s talk about Eid al-Adha, a day where Muslims commemorate Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.)’s sacrifice. This is not about meat cravings — it's about: - Following the Sunnah (سنت) - Demonstrating submission and obedience to Allah - Sharing meat: 1/3 for the family, 1/3 for relatives/friends, and 1/3 for the poor (صدقہ) *⚠️ The Problem: Hypocrisy & Hindutva Media Propaganda* Here’s the real issue: hypocrisy, amplified by Hindutva-driven media (ہندوتوا میڈیا). These platforms: - Demonize Muslim Qurbani, calling it “barbaric” - Ignore their own meat and dairy industries, where millions of animals are slaughtered daily - Stay silent about India being a top exporter of milk, beef, and leather *✅ Let’s Be Honest* Eid al-Adha sacrifices are minimal compared to daily global slaughter. The intent in Qurbani is spiritual, not commercial. Poor people receive meat they may not otherwise get. Islamic sacrifice respects animal welfare. *🍔🐐 The Truth* If you eat meat regularly but criticize Qurbani, then it’s time to reflect. This isn’t about animals — it’s about bias, propaganda, and misinformation. Don’t let media narratives fool you. Qurbani is a sacred act, not a crime.
