As the busy holiday season approaches, the Veterinary Service in Oranjestad is reminding the community to schedule their slaughterhouse appointment. Whether you plan to sacrifice a goat, pig, or other animals for consumption, it is important to use the designated slaughterhouse facilities.

This schedule is crucial to ensure a smooth and organized process, especially during the busy season. Plan ahead and book your appointment early to avoid any delays or inconvenience.
