KARACHI: Police have arrested two butchers in Karachi’s Ibrahim Hyderi area for selling dog meat to the public under the guise of goat meat, media reported.
Police conducted a raid in Ibrahim Hyderi and arrested two men Imran and Shahab who were slaughtering dogs on a building’s rooftop after police received a tip- off.
The police said that the two men were merely accomplices who had been duped into slaughtering dogs, while the main suspects had managed to flee.
Police also seized a gunny sack containing dog meat from the two butchers. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
Pakistan, which is a Muslim-majority country, prohibits consumption of dog meat. Dog meat is also regarded as unclean under Islamic dietary laws.
In a related incident, on January 6, Multan police claimed to have arrested two butchers with donkey meat.
