abattoir

And perhaps, not totally inexplicable behaviour for a man who'd once served an apprenticeship at an abattoir.

"They'll load them up in the night and steal them and try and pass them onto an abattoir or the livestock market," he said.

Others were recovered without their identifying ear tags at a local abattoir and an auction mart while some were given to another farmer to pay off a debt.

"Obviously the society suspended those abattoirs immediately and launched an investigation, but launching investigations has been going on for some considerable time."

The curriculum encourages students to find their own venues in and around Kumasi, be that an abattoir or an auto repair shop, so that their art becomes part of the city.
