I've been trying to find out about Tariq Halal Meat, just to be sure. But they just don't seem to reply at all. I haven't called though, so gotta give them that benefit of doubt :)
Only one of their branches is HMC, the rest used to be HFA.
When I spoke to Tariq himself [I met him at his offices, but he won't recal :)]. I asked him why he's not HMC (he was HFA at the time) He said something along the lines of, "I used to be, but I saw how they work and found that these Maulana's/Companies are only in it for the money, at the end of the day, I know my market" or something like that.
They got a new guy called Mr. Mansur Ahmed who "was" with HFA for years. I wonder why he's not working there any more!
Since HFA stopped certifying Mechanical Slaughter, a lot of people moved away from them and started independant certification, which is creepy.
HFA did the right thing and followed by many others too, MashaAllah. But a lot of either fake companies started or new ones with new standards were on the horizon.
I just wanna clear up my conscience.
What I'm trying to get to the bottom of is, "Does Tariq Halal Meat Endorse Mechanical Slaughter?"
