[size=45]Dhi Qar / Hussein Al-Amil[/size]
[size=45]Butchers in Dhi Qar Governorate threatened to resort to random islands in response to raising the wages of government massacres, and while they indicated that the fees had increased several times and not commensurate with the income of the butchers, the environmental and veterinary circles warned that raising wages would exacerbate the problem of random islands and increase the incidence of hemorrhagic fever, which The province recently recorded unprecedented records.[/size]
[size=45]An official document issued by the Directorate of General Municipalities, which Al-Mada reviewed, indicates that “the wages of livestock islands have been raised by 15 thousand dinars per head of camels instead of 10 thousand, and 10 thousand dinars per head of bulls and cows instead of 750 dinars and 5 thousand dinars for each head. of sheep, goats and calves instead of 250 dinars.”[/size]
[size=45]Muhammad Thanoun Younes, one of the butchers, said, “What is happening is a grave mistake that has cut off people’s livelihood. The wages for slaughter and the doctor’s examination were reasonable and commensurate with the reality of the situation, and after the decision to raise it became 15,000 dinars.”[/size]
[size=45]Younis added, "Dozens of butchers have stopped working, waiting for solutions, because the wages are high and unfair to the butchers category."[/size]
[size=45]He asked, "How did they take this unfair decision to raise wages to several times?"[/size]
[size=45]And Yunus stated, "The profit of the slaughtered sheep does not exceed 15,000 dinars, 5,000 of which go to the slaughterhouse, and another 5 to those who slaughter and 5,000 wages for transporting from livestock to the slaughterhouse and from the slaughterhouse to the butcher's shop."[/size]
[size=45]And he added, "Do we pay the slaughter wages with all our profits and go to our families with empty hands?", pointing out that "the decision to raise wages will cut the livelihood of the butchers' families."[/size]
[size=45]Younes called on the concerned authorities to find a “fair solution to the problem,” waving “the butchers and butchers’ shop owners resorting to random islands in front of butchers’ shops and other places,” noting that “even though this is contrary to environmental laws and regulations, there is no other solution to confront raising the wages of livestock islands.”[/size]
[size=45]The Division of Communicable Diseases Control in the Dhi Qar Health Department announced in late April of this year that it had recorded unprecedented rates of hemorrhagic fever, and called for activating veterinary measures to prevent the spread of the disease.[/size]
[size=45]In turn, Ali Mohsen Abdullah, another butcher, said that “the official authorities informed us of the wages of slaughter, which have been raised to 15,000,” describing the increase in wages as an “unprecedented leap.”[/size]
[size=45]And Abdullah added, "The wage hike may be justified, if it is within a thousand or two thousand dinars, but if this big jump jumps, it is beyond the power of butchers and will cause their livelihoods to be cut off."[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "many butchers and butchers' shop owners will resort to slaughtering livestock outside the slaughterhouse, which exacerbates environmental and health problems in the governorate, where cases of hemorrhagic fever have recently increased."[/size]
[size=45]For its part, the Nasiriyah Municipality Department addressed the Dhi Qar Governorate administration with an official letter that it had seen (Al Mada), regarding the butchers’ complaints about raising carrot wages in government slaughterhouses, and questioned the legality of reducing them.[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that the Federal Office of Financial Supervision indicated a decline in the number of massacres in Dhi Qar Governorate from (9) massacres in 2013 to (3) massacres in 2016 in its detailed report on the state’s policy in establishing red and white meat massacres, which caused the spread of manifestations of Random islands in residential neighborhoods. In addition, the environmental and veterinary circles in Dhi Qar Governorate warned of the dangers of the random island phenomenon in residential neighborhoods, popular markets and public streets, stressing that the government's weak interest and poor assessment of the environmental impact contributed to the spread of this phenomenon.[/size]
[size=45]One of the veterinarians pointed out that “the phenomenon of random slaughter is uncivilized and unacceptable and has health risks at the level of human and animal health.”[/size]
[size=45]He said, "The massacres have existed all over the world and in our country for a long time to eliminate, limit, get rid of, and control infectious and communicable diseases, whether they are animal diseases or diseases common to humans and animals."[/size]
[size=45]The Executive Director of the Athar Center for Development, civil activist Akram Al-Tamimi, considered that "the phenomenon of random swarms has become today one of the causes of environmental pollution in Dhi Qar Governorate, due to the harm that liquid and solid slaughter residues cause to the elements of the environment represented by soil, water and air."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Tamimi added, in a previous interview with Al-Mada, that "the government's weak interest and miscalculation of the environmental impact helped the spread of this phenomenon in residential neighborhoods, popular markets, and public streets." In early 2017, the Directorate of Environment of Dhi Qar revealed that more than 70 butchers had been notified and warned of violating environmental and health conditions and controls, as part of a campaign to combat livestock islands outside the regular area.
