Quite an innovative and enterprising endeavor, I must say

On Tuesday Muslims across the world are celebrating Eid al-Adha, the Islamic day of sacrifice.

Every Muslim who is rich enough is supposed to donate an animal to be slaughtered, and the meat is donated to the poor.

Sourcing the ideal beast can be time-consuming, but in Indonesia help is at hand.

There is now an easy alternative - you can buy an animal at your nearest ATM machine.
