The UAE government has initiated a strict crackdown on illegal abattoirs in preparation for Eid Al Adha. Authorities are imposing fines of up to Dh20,000 in an effort to combat unhygienic slaughter practices and protect public health. Inspection teams nationwide are intensifying their monitoring during the Eid holidays to ensure full compliance with regulations.
This initiative is designed to safeguard residents from health risks linked to unregulated meat slaughtering and demonstrates the government’s commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety during this significant religious festival.
Key Objectives of the Crackdown
- Ensure compliance with legal and hygienic slaughter practices
- Protect public health from the dangers of unhygienic meat processing
- Promote ethical treatment of animals during ritual sacrifice
- Maintain high food safety standards during Eid Al Adha
The crackdown emphasizes the importance of following legal practices, especially since Eid Al Adha involves ritual animal sacrifice for many residents. The UAE’s actions also support both animal welfare and the broader well-being of the public.
Residents have expressed support for the government’s decision and have urged sustained vigilance. Officials have encouraged the public to report any illegal slaughter operations and to cooperate fully with inspection teams.
Additional Health and Safety Measures
Apart from targeting illegal abattoirs, the UAE continues to promote health and safety through various initiatives, including:
