Asif Ali Zardari President of Pakistan sacrifices daily(KILLED) black goats for his protection .President Asif Ali Zardari has a black goat slaughtered at his house almostevery day to ward off "evil eyes" and protect him from black magic.The goats were killed as an act of sadaqah, meaning "voluntary charity" in Islam whereby one gives out money orthe meat of a slain animal to the poor to win Allah's blessing (AllAH is not DracolA)and stave offmisfortune."It has been an old practice of Mr. Zardari to offer sadaqah. He has beendoing this for a long time.Pakistan is a predominantly Muslim country where many of the well-off offersadaqah. Although Muslim, many people also follow certain superstitious practices.Hundreds of goats had been sacrificed at Zardari's house since he was swornin in September 2008,Zardari's detractors would see in his "new-found religiosity" a signof nervousness in the face of growing woes.Zardari, who rose to power after the assassination of his wife BenazirBhutto in 2007.Animal Save Movement Pakistan strongly protest this debacle and cruel act of President of Pakistan .And we appeal from Animals lovers send messages to the president of Pakistan stop this foolish and atrocity cruel act.
