Raising Cows in Landfill
Raising Cows in Landfill
Scavengers are struggling with cattle to get trash at the Kawatuna landfill, Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, Tuesday, January 29, 2019. Thousands of cattle belonging to local residents are intentionally released into the trash foraging to reduce the cost of feed that reaches 70 percent of the cost of raising cattle. The local government has issued an appeal to the livestock owners to hold their cows, because the action was not healthy. The cows eat rubbish, including organic waste from medical waste which is very dangerous for health and can contaminate humans if they eat meat. But the appeal was ignored by farmers.
