An albino buffalo in Bangladesh, nicknamed Donald Trump due to its blond mop of hair resembling that of the U.S. president, has been spared from a ritual Eid al-Adha sacrifice after a last-minute government intervention, a Home Ministry official told Reuters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 1,500-pound animal, which has gained viral attention online for its humorous likeness to Trump, had already been sold for slaughter when authorities intervened, citing security concerns after a surge of attention within the lead-up to Thursday\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n
