A slaughter area, the matter is serious.

Livestock technicians say that animal health must be taken care of to guarantee human health.

It so happens that in the village, you can buy a sick animal, slaughter it in unsanitary conditions, transport the meat as you can.

In the end, the consumer does not know what he is buying and what he is feeding his family.
