A wandering butcher completed slaughtering of a sheep on a roof of car parked near a building in Abu Dhabi. The sheep decided to jump from the terrace of the 5-storey building in Abu Dhabi, ‘preferring to die than being slaughtered by unskillful hands’.
The Abu Dhabi Police have arrested the butcher, and the buyer of the sheep, who had negotiated with the former to have the Eid sacrifice executed on the terrace of the building which housed his flat, for a certain sum of money.
The police operations room had received a tip-off about a sheep falling on the roof of a car parked near the Al Najda Road in Abu Dhabi, resulting in partial damage to the vehicle. No one was injured.
On the arrival of police patrols and their subsequent investigation into the case, it was discovered that an Arab national, who confessed that he had planned to slaughter the sheep in front of his flat in his apartment building after purchasing the animal from the livestock market, struck a deal with an Asian butcher to slaughter it on the building’s terrace instead.
Their plans went wrong as the sheep panicked and jumped over the terrace’s one-meter-high parapet wall, after the butcher had failed to slaughter it in a professional manner, thus leaving a trail of blood on the terrace and on the ground below. The butcher rushed down the building, accompanied by the Arab national, and completed the slaughter on the roof of the car.
Abu Dhabi Police have warned the public against dealing with unprofessional butchers, and slaughter of Udhiyah (sacrificial animals) being carried out at home, as the udhiyah has to be tested before it’s slaughtered to ensure its safety. He pointed out that the government had provided modern abattoirs equipped with the latest equipment to ensure safe standards of slaughter.
The police have warned the public against dealing with wandering butchers and slaughtering sacrificial animals in houses. Sacrificial animals should be examined by veterinary doctors before being cut, and the government has provided modern and well-equipped abattoirs, which follow the latest standards in slaughtering, said the police.
The slaughter leads to breeding of insects as there is a scarcity of proper space to dispose of the waste of the sacrificed animals in residential areas. All these actions invite legal punishment, police added.
