In the Fifth Settlement area east of Cairo, a humorous situation unfolded that occurs every year with the approach of Eid al-Adha. Residents were surprised by a bull escaping from its owners in the southern academy area, stopping in the middle of the street and disrupting traffic. In an attempt to capture and remove it, the bull damaged several cars.
Residents gathered in an attempt to catch the runaway bull, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Several car owners expressed their anger after the bull caused damage to their vehicles. Some affected individuals expressed their astonishment at the presence of a bull in a residential area, especially since the law prohibits such occurrences and does not allow the slaughter of animals on the streets. They emphasized that the situation could lead to this rampaging bull attacking pedestrians as well.
Recurring Situations Every Year
Egypt and its governorates frequently witness amusing and comedic incidents around this time each year with the arrival of Eid al-Adha. Egyptians document videos of bulls and sacrificial animals escaping before being slaughtered, causing panic and fear in the streets.
This year, the prices of sacrificial animals in Egypt have increased significantly due to the rising dollar exchange rate, with prices up by 20%. The cost of a bull has reached over 90,000 Egyptian pounds, while the price of a sheep is around 15,000 pounds.
