BOGOR: Beginning August this year, Bogor municipality will ban pig-slaying at the city slaughterhouses, in a bid to become a halal city, a concept launched last year.

Bogor's mayor, Diani Budiarto, said the new city-owned slaughterhouse in Bubulak subdistrict did not provide the tools to slaughter pigs.

"We don't offer pig-slaughtering equipment; our demand for pork is limited anyway. For other groups of people who need pork, we let them provide the tools. The city administration won't provide the service." - JP
