Regulations For Distribution Of Sacrificial Animals - Distribution Of Sacrificial Meat (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government prohibits people from disposing of waste from pieces of sacrificial animals during Eid to channels or water bodies such as sewers, sewers, rivers, and rivers. Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, explained that waste such as jeroan to the contents of the sacrificial heean's stomach that enter the waterways can have a negative impact on the environment to cause disease for humans and other animals. "The practice of disposing of sacrificial waste carelessly is a dangerous practice, because pieces of animal jeroan become a medium for the development of pathogens that can transmit disease. This waste can make the condition of the water body polluted," Asep said in his statement, Friday, June 23. A number of diseases caused by pathogen contamination in these waterways, Asep continued, ranging from hepatitis, tifus, as well as eye and nail disease. "Especially if it happens quite massively, this could result in a very broad impact," said Asep. Not only that, Asep said, the disposal of waste from sacrificial animals into water bodies could damage the ecosystem in the Water Agency. “ Simply put, fish in water bodies will die if the waste of sacrificial animal pieces is thrown there, ” he added. Similarly, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agricultural Security Service (KPKP) Suharini Eliawati also asked people who slaughter sacrificial animals not to throw cut waste into the river. Eli said that this appeal had also been conveyed to mosque administrators in Jakarta, which is usually the location for slaughtering sacrificial animals when Eid Al-Adha arrives. "We convey that the mosque committee is obliged to carry out the handling of the waste so as not to be disposed of in the river," said Eli. Then, Eli also suggested that the meat of the sacrificial animal should not be distributed for more than six hours with the aim of not reducing the quality of the meat. Then, he suggested that the system for distributing sacrificial animals be carried out by giving it directly to the recipient's house. 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.

"There are locations for mosques that we recommend, or if all of you will hold their own cuts, please let us know what date, so that we can send officers to provide assistance," he said.
