Medan. The North Sumatra Regional Police slaughtered a total of 31 sacrificial cows during Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriah on Wednesday (May 27, 2026).
The slaughter of the sacrificial animals took place after the Eid al-Adha prayer at the North Sumatra Police Headquarters field. The meat was then distributed to police personnel, members of the press, and the public.
Among the dozens of cows, one Simental breed cow weighing approximately 1 ton drew attention. This cow was the sacrificial animal of the North Sumatra Police Chief.
The Head of Public Relations for the North Sumatra Police stated that all the meat from the slaughter was packaged into 4,976 packets to be distributed to recipients.
“This is an activity we continue to carry out every year to commemorate Eid al-Adha. This year, 31 cows were slaughtered, and the meat will be distributed to personnel and the community,” he said.
According to him, Eid al-Adha serves as a moment to instill values of sacrifice, sincerity, and social care through the ritual of animal sacrifice.
He hopes the spirit of Eid al-Adha will strengthen the commitment of all police personnel to provide humane and professional service to the public.
