I never even heard of that holiday nor the practice.

Eid al-Adha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha

Quote:
The sacrificed animals, called aḍḥiya (Arabic: أضحية‎), known also by the Perso-Arabic term qurbāni, have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice. This tradition accounts for the slaughter of more than 100 million animals in only two days of Eid. In Pakistan alone nearly 10 million animals are slaughtered on Eid days costing over US$3 billion.[27]
With that many animals, something weird was going to happen sooner or later.

I bet people have accidentally killed, dismembered and injured themselves in all sorts of gruesome ways over the years.
