Emotional man spares sacrificial ram

Teyfik Gülay, a 73-year-old man from central Yildirim district of Bursa province in western Turkey, bought a ram about 6 months ago to sacrifice during the ongoing Eid al-Adha, also known as Muslim Festival of Sacrifices, but he had to spare the animal and purchase another one to butcher as the two literally became ‘friends’.

Instead of a knife to the throat, the ram, named ‘Murat,’ had e bow-tied place on his neck, and taken to bairam celebration by his owner.

“He is part of my family from now on, and I will keep feeding him until his death,” commented the emotional man.
