CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government, West Java, prohibits traders from selling sacrificial animals on the side of the road or on the sidewalk along the main route and Cianjur protocol. Including selling sacrificial animals that are not in accordance with Islamic law. Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said his party had distributed Circular to sacrificial animal traders to routinely check for sacrificial animals to be sold to ensure health and proper consumption from the relevant agencies. "In addition to the Circular, routine monitoring is carried out by officers from the livestock service, especially for livestock from outside the city, as an effort to prevent animals that carry disease to Cianjur," he said in Cianjur as reported by Antara, Tuesday, May 28. Regarding sellers of sacrificial animals on the side of the road, strict action will be taken by officers, because it is considered to damage the scenery and beauty of the city. "Please sell at a place that has been provided at the animal market on Jalan Siliwangi, do not let the Satpol PP officers take care when violating, because selling on the side of the road can make the city slum," he said. Meanwhile, ahead of the sacrificial holidays, the Cianjur Animal Husbandry, Animal Health and Fisheries Service (DPKHP), intensified inspections and increased supervision of sacrificial animals circulating in Cianjur. Veterinary or MEDic Veterinary DPKHP Cianjur, Drh Harisudin, said that the results of his party's data collection were recorded at around 2,900 sacrificial cattle and about 10 thousand sheep provided by traders and breeders in Cianjur. "Most of the sacrificial cattle are supplied from outside Cianjur, such as from NTT, East Java, and Central Java, so that strict supervision and inspection are carried out by animal health workers in the field," he said. As for the sacrificial animals, the types of goats and sheep are mostly from the Cianjur area spread across several sub-districts, where the health of the animals is routinely carried out by the owner and pick up the ball is carried out by officers to ensure that the sacrificial animals are traded in good health.

"Investigations will continue to be carried out, especially 14 days before Eid al-Adha 1445, animal health workers carry out massive checks on sacrificial animals that are traded," he said.
