Before you buy

  • Check the animal looks healthy, ask about vaccinations, and look for the ear-tag card for cattle.
  • Don't pay a deposit before you've seen the animal yourself.
  • Slaughter only at licensed abattoirs. Government abattoirs are free during Eid.
  • Looking for a pet? Consider adopting first.
