IDB Chief tours high-tech slaughtering facility 2 Mina

SPA - In a press statement published today, Dr. Ali said pilgrims should
avail themselves of the facility available to them for sacrificing
animals through the Saudi government and the IDB.


This year the IDB has planned to sacrifice 700,000 animals in the 84
hours of its operation. “But indications are that we will exceed that
number,” Ali said, adding that the supply was adequate for meeting
the demand.


In last year’s Hajj, the IDB slaughtered 759,212 animals, out of
which 520,202 were distributed in the Kingdom with the rest being
sent to neighboring Muslim countries. Yesterday, 661,000 animals were
slaughtered.
