Stop cattle fattening
It is a common scenario in the country’s cattle market during Eid ul Azha that unscrupulous traders inject banned steroid hormone into animals, especially cows, to fatten them. Cows become fat within a short period for the absurd amount of steroid hormone used on them, damaging their vital organs.
Consumers are most at risk because of this illegal activity. If the meat of such infected animals is taken, for example, one’s liver can get enlarged. The most awful changes may take place among children and women. Children are likely to gain weight and suffer from many diseases both in the short term and long. With this year’s Eid ul Azha approaching fast, the government should take measures to stop this practice, given the health risks it poses, and allow in the cattle market only animals safe for human consumption through proper inspection at the entry points.
