No pastures in the city: Mayor

JAKARTA (JP): Central Jakarta Mayor Abdul Kafi yesterday shooed away seven goat traders along Jl. K.H. Mas Mansyur in an order and cleanliness raid.

According to Abdul, an alternative site by the Melati dam in Central Jakarta has been designated for sellers of sacrificial goats to trade for the upcoming Idul Adha celebration which falls on Sunday. During the celebration Moslems slaughter goats and distribute the meat to the poor.

Hassan, one of the goat sellers, said that a city official is involved in coordinating the "flocks" of goat traders along Jl.K.H. Mas Mansyur. (14)
