Hundreds of Thousands of people visit the livestock market year on year to buy the animal of their choice. Muslims go leaps and bounds to purchase the best Qurbani with some selling for as high as INR 500,000. The price for a few remain lucrative but for many is the hourly dynamics of demand and supply. Guideline of animals for Qurbani As per the interpretation of the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah of our beloved Prophet, there are clear guidelines on selection of Qurbani. The animals must be free of any defect that diminishes the quality of their meat. For example, it is not valid to slaughter animals that are lame, blind, insane, or sick The 'Eid sacrifice should be more than six months old if it is a sheep, for the goats, it should be at least one year old. The cow and buffaloes be two years old. But the camel should not be less than five years old". The castrated animal is valid because the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) observed 'Eid sacrifice with two castrated rams. Animals should be well fed and well looked after. Animals should not be kept waiting hungry. Islam also instructs to show kindness and good treatment to animals.

The government figures of goats entering the deonar market every year remain below 300,000, however traders feel the number is much higher. Every trader is charged with an "entry fee" per animal ranging from INR 30-INR 100 depending on duration, agent fee, sheppard fee etc) "Dhaka" is the offloading point where the livestock are offloaded and stationed till the sale spot found or allocated.

The government official and unofficial fee total upto INR 2000/goat Police, agents and other officials bother traders even in the facility with no or less water supply, no adequate space and breaking of all rules, livestock sold on pathways in front of your space allocated as they too have been breaking this rule for 30 years....
