This Cow Destined To Be Sacrificed For Aidiladha Attempted A Daring Escape By Sea
- Over the weekend, Muslims nationwide celebrated Hari Raya Aidiladha where an animal is sacrificed - but this cow refused to be taken alive
- Muslims often sacrifice an animal - usually a goat, sheep, cow, or camel - and the meat is distributed among family members, neighbours, and the less fortunate.
- One cow - which was meant to be delivered to a nearby Muslim community for them to carry out their Aidiladha sacrifice - decided to take hold of its own fate and swim to freedom.

- Initially, the cow was removed from the ferry rather easily
- "This is how they transferred the cow. In the beginning, the cow was just fine and steady on all fours," the user explained.
- "Maybe it was anxious going up the stairs, that's why it decided to fold its legs and sit down like a sweet young lady," he joked.
- In a separate video, two men can be seen hastily swimming after the cow to prevent its escape

- In the end, they managed to capture the cow once it swam close to the beach. A boat of men awaited the fugitive cow and safely brought it to shore.
