KARACHI: The unusual visuals of a cow being lifted through crane in Karachi have gone viral on social media where the sacrificial animal loses its balance and slips from a crane to its death.

In another tweet, actress Ushna Shah also slammed the act by lamenting that she is sick of Pakistan.
Just saw a video of a terrorized cow being hung very high in the air on a crane and then dropped on the street to be killed. This is Qurbani? Is there no prison for such monsters? I’m so sick of this Pakistan. What’s WRONG with so many people here.

This particular cow was brought up and looked after by the family for almost 2 years on top floor of their house in Pakistan,I fail to understand why they chose to bring it down via crane machine for qurbani on Eid day and why could not they do it on the same floor. #ShareToAware pic.twitter.com/pj9qPD1KTz

Piss off. That cow should never have been hoisted on that crane. Disgusting barbaric behaviour. The way you treat animals is a direct reflection of your compassion and humanity. You clearly are severely lacking in these attributes.
