Navigating Eid al Ad'ha as a Vegan Muslim

Eid al-Ad'ha is a great time to practically show how the decision to become vegan as a Muslim is rooted in a different epistemological foundation than a non-Muslim's. Many (dare I say most?) Muslims don't know that sacrificing an animal on Eid al-Ad'ha is NOT an obligation and would be surprised to learn that major companions of the Beloved ﷺ like Abu Bakr RA, Omar RA, Ibn Masud RA, Ibn Abbas RA, Bilal ibn Rabah RA, and others stopped sacrificing animals on this day.
