Brilio.net - Sacrificial animals at the Eid al-Adha celebration do not only take the meat, but also the innards. Recently, a post from TikTok user @831juta went viral about sacrificial innards that appeared to have been thrown into the river. This aroused the curiosity of many netizens.
Not a few people are confused and regret that the sacrificial innards are thrown away, even though this ingredient can be made into a delicious dish. Apart from that, there are also those who are concerned about environmental problems that could arise due to sacrificial innards being thrown away.
"Why did they throw it away?? If in Makassar it was made Coto Makassar," said the owner of the TikTok account @CapsLock290419, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (19/6).
"Why do you throw it away? It doesn't make carcasses," said TikTok @pengincar tobrut.

After investigating, it turns out that many netizens are just misguided. In fact, the sacrificial innards were not thrown away, but were placed in the river to be cleaned. It is common knowledge that the condition of the sacrificial innards is usually intact and full of dirt, unlike the innards on the market which have been cleaned by traders.
The total amount of sacrificial innards that will be cleaned tends to be a lot, making it less convenient for anyone to just clean it in the kitchen sink. So, rivers or rivers are often the choice of location for cleaning the sacrificial innards, as was done by a number of gentlemen seen in the TikTok @831juta upload.
In the comments column, several netizens also straightened out the facts behind the activities in this TikTok @831juta video. Apparently, cleaning sacrificial innards in streams or rivers has become commonplace. On the other hand, there are also netizens who provide other alternatives for cleaning the innards so that they provide benefits.
" Don't throw it away, guys, it's about to shine, usually it's just that once in a while," wrote TikTok @LollyAh.
"My husband yesterday washed it in the rice field using deasel water, so it was really clean, then the dirt made fertilizer in the rice field so it was mutually beneficial," explained TikTok @Fitrifits.

However, the process of cleaning the sacrificial innards at this time certainly cannot be done haphazardly, because it risks polluting the environment. This is also regulated through Circular Letters (SE) released by city or district governments in a number of regions in Indonesia.
Offal can indeed be cleaned using clean water from the river, but the rumen waste or feces must be taken and put in a sack or special bag to be thrown into a TPS (garbage dump), not into the river. Efforts to prevent the disposal of animal waste will protect the river from dirt and odors.
