Moo-ving onto greener pastures.

An albino buffalo that went viral for its striking resemblance to President Donald Trump was spared from slaughter at the annual Islamic feast of sacrifice on Wednesday — and rehomed in a zoo.

The buffalo, which jokingly earned the name “Donald Trump” after its fetching coiffed blonde combover went viral, was slated to be killed during Eid al-Adha this week.

The animal’s owner, 38-year-old Zia Uddin Mridha, sold it before it became a certified tourist attraction weeks before Eid.

Federal authorities in Bangladesh intervened at the eleventh hour, saving the buffalo from certain death. They cited security concerns “and the unusual level of ​public interest” ahead of Thursday’s festival, according to a ministry official.

Well, he got the battered herd
And he led ‘em ‘cross the land
With the great white buffalo,
They gonna make a final stand

Now, listen everybody
To what I’ve got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow,
We wake up on today.
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today

The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo

What other president has had a Bangladeshi buffalo named after them?

Though, I did go ziplining in SW Missouri back in 2013. On the bus ride into the place, which was way back in a holler, we went past a black and white mule that was just standing there 20 feet from the bus, chewing on something. The bus driver casually said, “That’s Obama, the black and white jackass.”

All 6 of us future zipliners in the bus rolled with laughter. I think of that moment often.

Sung by James Brown, who portrayed Lt. Rip Masters on the show.
Released as a 78 RPM recording on the MGM label.

I have heard many stories from an old indian friend
and this is my favorite even though it has no end

There’s an old indian legend I was told long ago,
it’s about a special valley and the White Buffalo.
There are few who have seen him though they’ve looked high and low
for the trail is long and winding to the White Buffalo.

The legend says you’ll find him if your heart is brave and true
and you treat all men as brothers no matter what they do.
I have searched for that valley since I started to grow,
I won’t stop until I find it and the White Buffalo.

For I know it’s right to find the White Buffalo!

Great White Buffalo Live. As if there was any other way to listen to it.

Liberals, including the “animal rights” ones, are disappointed they couldn’t cheer on “Donald Trump” being murdered.
