Caution against unauthorised animal slaughter in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Municipality has cautioned the public against slaughtering animals in residential areas or any other place outside municipal abattoirs to safeguard against potential health risks associated with makeshift slaughterhouses.

Compliance with this will ensure the slaughtered animals are subjected to veterinary tests at abattoirs, avoiding the spread of diseases, the civic body said.

The municipality has stressed the need for consulting with vets at livestock markets and abattoirs to seek advice on all matters relating to the slaughtered animals.

It called on the public to read the awareness bulletins posted in public waiting areas inside the slaughter houses.
