Lucknow people skip Bakrid sacrifice, cut goat cakes instead

Some people in Lucknow celebrated Bakrid on Wednesday by cutting goat-shaped cakes, or cakes with pictures of goats on them, instead of sacrificing the animal. Earlier, a convenor of a Muslim organisation affiliated to RSS said Muslims could "cut a cake baked in the shape of a goat." "The custom of sacrificing an animal is not right," a buyer said.
