I don't know anything about Muslim traditions, but I'd imagine this animal was chosen because it's rare, and the sacrifice is even more valuable as a result.

Muslim worshippers in Bangladesh are set to sacrifice a rare albino buffalo nicknamed "Donald Trump" as part of the Islamic Eid al-Adha celebrations.

The 1,500lb beast has become an internet sensation in the South Asian country due to its flowing golden hair - with many drawing parallels to the US President.

Since going viral across social media, there has been a stream of visitors to the farm where he lives near the country's capital of Dhaka hoping to get a glimpse of the animal.

But Donald Trump is set to be slaughtered within weeks as the Muslim country prepares for the festival of Eid al-Adha.

An estimated 12 million livestock will be ritualistically killed in Bangladesh in celebration of the Islamic holiday.
