Thus, people do not crowd at the slaughter location.On the other hand, Eli advised the public to slaughter sacrificial animals in slaughterhouses (RPH). The DKI Provincial Government itself has several RPHs and slaughterhouses (TPH), namely RPH Cakung, RPH Pulogadung, TPH Semanan, and TPH Cilangkap.
