REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, SOLO -- The Surakarta City Government conducted an academic study related to the circular letter (SE) regulating the sale of dog meat.
“Just yesterday we signed SE dog meat. We are following up with the academic study,” Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka said in Solo, Central Java, on Tuesday.
Previously, the City Government (Pemkot) of Surakarta has issued Circular Letter (SE) Number 38/597/2024 on the Recommendation for Safe and Healthy Consumption of Food Products of Animal Origin in Surakarta City. In the SE, the government appealed to the public not to consume dog meat.
He said there were proposals from a number of parties for the SE to be upgraded to a regional regulation. Therefore, it considers it necessary to make an academic study first.
