are the disgusted aware that the majority of aussie abbattoirs use the dhabihah (islamic law ritual slaughter) for animal killing. obviously
increases the market for their product. an indonesian muslim married into my wifes family back in the early 90's,he has worked as a
slaughterman for well over a decade. aussies have been enjoying halal rump/t-bone/etc for years ,possibly unaware. g
I'm glad you brought it up. Yep, I'm totally aware of it. I worked in the Ararat abbattoir for a year producing "Halal" lamb. What a friggin joke. To be "Halal" certified, the only only conditions are: 1, each beast must be blessed by a practicing, certified Muslim. 2, He must face toward mecca when he slashes the throat of the beast. 3, an arrow (that is oddly shaped like a rocket) must face toward mecca for the slaughterer to know his bearings. 4, there must be a 15 minute "prayer" break every hour for the slaughterer.
Well, I couldn't take it when I witnessed the way this guy treated the animals. There was no prayer involved. He stabbed the beast wherever he wanted. Then on one particular nightshift he ordered (didn't ask) to to pick up the knife he dropped while I'm working my arse off to keep up with the breasting of the pelt on the chain. (Chain is slash the throat, head cut off, then the start of pelting....yep, it's fast). I told him to piss off and get it himself. 20 minutes later I was in the office doing the please explain. I was told that I need to look after him at any cost to my ego.
A few nights later, I "accidently" turned the warhead that was to face mecca back toward where the said beasts where coming from. Arsehole came at me with a knife shouting "I know it was you f#%king aussie pig". I did my best and walked away. That was my last shift.
