Nepal Hit By Severe Goat Shortage! reports the BBC.
The authorities in Nepal have ordered officials to find more goats for ritual slaughter ahead of the country's biggest religious festival of the year. Officials say that there is a severe shortage of goats to offer as sacrifice in the capital Kathmandu.
The reason for the shortage is unclear, but experts say it is mostly due to demand outstripping supply.
They say that it may be because China has this year exported fewer goats to Nepal, resulting in far higher prices.
The Nepal Food Corporation has now ordered officials to travel to the countryside and buy goats to be brought to Kathmandu ahead of the festival of Dashain on 19 September.
Goats are traditionally slaughtered during the 15-day event to appease Durga, an important Hindu goddess.
