Why does Moroccan herd slaughter persist annually

The article discusses the impact of Eid al-Adha on the national livestock herd, highlighting that meat consumption throughout the year contributes to reducing herd sizes. It explains that repeated slaughtering during the Eid leads to deterioration of the herd and increased meat prices, which also negatively affects citizens' purchasing power. The author suggests either abolishing the holiday or changing the ways it is celebrated to ease pressure on the herd and the market, noting that current traditions cause meat prices to soar and threaten the livestock resources. He advocates for adopting more balanced and culturally appropriate methods to preserve the livestock wealth and reduce inflation in meat prices.
