The city of Tangier prohibits grilling sheep heads in the streets during Eid al-Adha. The municipality’s decision comes out of concern for public safety, cleanliness, hygiene and traffic flow.
Authorities say that the increase in grilling sheep heads in the streets during Eid al-Adha leads to unpleasant odors, waste pollution, and disruption of traffic. To address these problems, it was decided to ban this activity in public places.
