As Pakistan prepares to celebrate the sacred Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, livestock traders in the country are facing a crisis. The ongoing conflict between Iran and the West has had a devastating impact on the livestock trade, with many traders claiming that the war has led to a significant decline in sales ahead of the festive season. Typically, Eid al-Adha is a time of great demand for livestock, with millions of Muslims in Pakistan purchasing animals for the traditional sacrifice. However, with global markets in turmoil and international trade routes disrupted, Pakistani livestock traders are struggling to meet the usual high demand, leading to concerns about the economic impact of the conflict on the country's rural communities.
