Butchers arrested for slaughtering a pregnant cow in Kuajok
Authorities in the Warrap State capital, Kuajok, said four butchers accused of slaughtering a pregnant cow were arrested but later released on bail while the investigations continue.
The four butchers allegedly slaughtered a pregnant cow in Kuajok town’s abattoir last week and later dumped the fetus outside the compound of the facility.
Police and local authorities told Radio Tamazuj that it is not allowed, by the veterinary and state by-laws, to kill expectant animals. They also said it was also taboo to kill pregnant cows because it can lead to the extinction of cattle.
