The highest results recorded according to age : butchers (2/19) 10.526 % with ages <30 year while veterinarians recorded (4/36) 11.111 % with age 33-43 years. Education degree: uneducated and secondary graduate degree butchers (2/11) 18.181 % and veterinarians (5/43) 11.627 % with under graduate degree. Finally according to living type: butchers (8/78) 10.256 % and veterinarians (5/28) 17.857 % that were living in districts and townships gave the highest result on the contrary to those living in the center of the city.
