flag Pakistani woman Shabnam continues to sell scrap meat packets to feed predatory birds, despite a ban, to support her siblings.

Pakistani woman Shabnam sells scrap meat packets to feed predatory birds despite a crackdown on the practice, which is done by locals as an offering to ward off adversity. This tradition, banned in many cities, provides a livelihood for hundreds of vendors in Lahore and Karachi. Shabnam, who only shared her first name, has been selling packets for a year to support her younger siblings, making around 500 Pakistani rupees ($0.07) per day.
