Seeking a better life for animals, some halal meat producers are rethinking their model [via CivilEats]
However, the majority of halal certified meat and poultry sold in the U.S. isin the conventional farm system. Because Fram buys livestock at auction for slaughter at Bismi Allah Farms, he knows little about how the animals were raised prior to their life on his property. It’s likely that many come from feedlots.
To be certified halal, an animal must be butchered with a cut across the neck from a sharp blade by a practicing Muslim. Also essential is the person’s recitation of the prayer, “Bismillah Allahu Akbar,” as the animal takes its last breath. “When you say the name of Allah, they will be ready,” Fram says regarding the sacred prayer. “They will be calm.”
“When we got married, we really struggled to find food that was truly halal,” Aboushi says about the couple’s search for meat that was also free of hormones and antibiotics and raised humanely on organic pasture. Thus, Aboushi, an attorney, and her husband, who works in finance, started Halal Pastures more than seven years ago to create a solution that aligned with their values.
