Sixteen cows and 46 goats and sheep were slaughtered in the Sunda Kelapa Mosque in Central Jakarta on Thursday as preparations for the festival of Eid al-Adha got underway.
The sacrificial animals were donations from local people. They were to be slaughtered and distributed to the needy.
UK Ambassador Moazzam Malik was among the contributors.
Sujasman, an official at Sunda Kelapa Mosque said that the number of animals slaughtered was much reduced compared to last year.
He said that this was because of an economic slowdown.
