Reflection on Surahtul Hajj Ayat 33.

It would be awesome to sacrifice 1000 bulls @ Hajj 1 year. See Blog Solomon's sacrifice of 1000 bulls. I would, of course, have to actually have enough money to do that. [It would cost somewhere between $2 and $4 million.] There is a system set up @ Hajj not to waste the meat from sacrifices. ...they actually send the meat to the poor in different parts of the world. I believe that they are still doing it that way, today. Only question about Qurbani & Udhiya is do the animals have to be brought to Mecca, slaughtered, packed and then distributed to needing countries; or go live directly to the needing countries? Because Allah said that in the end the places of sacrifice are at Baitul Atique. "In them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is near the Ancient House." ~ Surahtul Hajj 33 But, the real question (rhetorical) is why is it very important that in the end the place of sacrifice be at Baitul Atique & not anywhere else? #Correction In them ye have benefits for a term appointed: in the end their place of sacrifice is "near" (not @) the Ancient House. ~ HQ 22:33 But, certainly that "near" and not "at" Baitul Atique would mean within the Sacred Precincts of the Holy City of Mecca or proximity. Thus, the question is, "Is it sunnah to slaughter the Hajj sacrifices near Baitul Atique (portion the meats, package; and distribute them from proximity of Mecca); or sunnah to deliver the live animals directly to the needy countries where they can be slaughtered in those countries? And why is it wrong to slaughter the animals "away" from Baitul Atique or the proximity of Mecca in Saudi?" It seems like a simple question, but, it could carry great importance and significance.
