        "content": "<p>\u201cIf we say it is gelonggongan cattle crime, the crime is how the body\nsize or weight of the cattle is engineered by giving water,\u201d said Victor\nafter checking sacrificial animals at Perumda Dharma Jaya, East Jakarta,\non Thursday, 21 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Victor said the police had previously encountered similar cases. He\nhoped the practice would not recur at this year\u2019s Idul Adha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, some time ago we also found related crimes. This is a crime\nagainst animals. It is, of course, regulated in the new Criminal Code\n(KUHP) related to that crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Polda Metro Jaya also urged the public to monitor and report if they\nfind indications of gelonggongan cattle in the field. According to\nVictor, one characteristic that can be recognised usually appears during\nthe slaughtering process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also hope the public can report if there is any information or if\nthey encounter suspicious cattle. Because when slaughtered, there tends\nto be a lot of water,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Victor said Polda Metro, together with the Department of Food\nSecurity, Marine, and Fisheries (KPKP) of DKI Jakarta and Perumda Dharma\nJaya, will intensify supervision of the beef circulation ahead of Idul\nAdha.<\/p>\n<p>The checks are to ensure the health of sacrificial animals, including\nto prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (PMK) and Lumpy Skin\nDisease (LSD).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this readiness process can run well until Idul Adha\nfinishes,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
