Animal Quote by Mohammed Zaki Ansari
““Islamophobes, attention please: For your information, around 30–40 million animals are slaughtered globally during Eid ul-Adha. Yet throughout the rest of the year, an estimated 1–3 trillion animals are slaughtered annually for: • food production • leather and clothing • medicine and research • cosmetics testing • pet food • industrial products So don’t pretend your outrage is about animal welfare. Your selective criticism only exposes hatred and hypocrisy Nothing more.””
