JAKARTA : Under a highway in the Indonesia n capital Jakarta , a brown cow stood calmly as masseur Sumarwan got to work, clenching his fist to beat the animal's legs and help it relax ahead of its sacrifice.
"If I beat it using my hands like this, the cow feels relaxed because it knows that I do it with love," he claimed.Under a highway in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, a brown cow stood calmly as masseur Sumarwan got to work, clenching his fist to beat the animal's legs and help it relax ahead of its sacrifice on Jun 12, 2024.
His cow salon is tucked inside an underpass that has become a makeshift livestock market, where sellers trade hundreds of cows and goats.But the market's location is ideal despite the traffic, Sumarwan said, sheltered by the overpass from Jakarta's tropical heat and spurts of heavy rain.For a cow that looks unhealthy, Sumarwan applies a balm usually reserved for humans.
"This year, we bring 50 cows and 120 goats. We usually start selling 25 days before Eid al-Adha," said Kastono, who employs 10 workers.
