Ahead of Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijri, the South Jakarta City Government has prohibited sacrificial animal traders from using social and public facilities (Fasos-Fasum) as sales locations.

South Jakarta Vice Mayor, Ali Murthadho said the use of social and public facilities as a place to sell sacrificial animals has the potential to have an impact on the environment and community activities.

"We do not want public facilities like sidewalks and other facilities used by sacrificial animal sellers. This would have a wide-ranging impact on the community and the environment," he said, Thursday (5/7).

According to him, supervision is necessary to ensure that no traders violate regulations, including those related to public order, cleanliness, and waste management, which could impact environmental health.

"All of these are interconnected, starting from issues of public order, cleanliness, to the waste generated which can have an impact on the environment and health," he added.

Supervision is also focused on the health of sacrificial animals, starting from compliance with Islamic law to the completeness of animal health administration.

Meanwhile, Head of South Jakarta KPKP Sub-agency, Ridho Sosro ensuree that his side will conduct supervision.

One of these efforts is monitoring the sales locations and slaughterhouses of sacrificial animals. Furthermore, personnel are also collecting data on the locations used by vendors.

"Regarding sacrificial animal traders, we are also recording locations where they operate. We strictly prohibit any sales conducted in a manner inconsistent with applicable regulations," he stated.
