#scenebuzz: EGP 10,000 FINE FOR STREET BUTCHERING & WASTE DURING EID AL-ADHA
Cairo authorities have announced strict penalties for anyone found slaughtering animals in public streets during Eid Al-Adha, with fines reaching up to EGP 10,000 and potential jail time. Governor Ibrahim Saber confirmed that environmental violation reports will be issued against those who leave behind waste or blood in public spaces.
To maintain hygiene and public health, slaughtering outside official abattoirs is strictly prohibited. The city’s government-run slaughterhouses—El-Aly, Girco, Salam, Momtaz, Tora, Helwan, and 15 May—will operate around the clock throughout Eid, offering their services free of charge. Facilities include pre- and post-slaughter veterinary inspections, holding pens, and vehicle waiting areas.
