From the Daily News:A father-and-son business is on track to become Queens' third federally approved slaughterhouse, once the $5 million Ozone Park facility is completed next month.
Madani Halal is waiting for one last piece of custom-built equipment to arrive to cap a five-year expansion project that transformed a neighboring auto-body shop into a state-of-the-art halal slaughterhouse.
The new facility will allow the business to tap into the growing demand for halal products, owners said.
His customers choose from exotic chickens and ducks, along with uncommon birds like guinea hens, partridges and squab raised in Pennsylvania. Imran Uddin said they are free of hormones. The animals are killed humanely on the premises, following Muslim law, and drained of blood.
Halal is "an ancient tradition. However, it's new here - especially in New York City," the younger Uddin said. "Most people associate it with the food carts they see all over the city."
There are about 200 slaughterhouses in New York City, but only seven are federally inspected. Seven more, not including Madani, have applied for USDA approval this year, federal agriculture officials said.

Halal= meat transported in non-refrigerated trucks..........
how 14th century.....
Sort of like Kosher - you pay up big time for a supposedly religiously sanctioned food and superior to mere mortal foods.
Yup, we all know what that means, inferior meat fostered upon you and supervised by religious types, Imans and the like watching over a bunch of illegals butchering and cooking tough pieces of meat. Anything Federal means that it will be of a inferior quality. Let the Muslim buyer beware, it's not what you want to eat - your being taken for a ride. Oh, did the preparers wash their hands after using the crapper?
I'm not sure if I see a problem here. This is an old fashion butcher shop where you pick the bird or what ever you want to purchase and it's cleaned and chopped for you. Halal and Kosher *animal slaughter*, from my understanding, is that the animals are killed humanely and without distress. I'm sure some of you can correct me if I'm wrong and I'm aware that there are other cultural aspects.
I actually wish Queens had more butcher shops that focused on quality fresh meats. I can't see getting anything fresher than picking the bird you want and having it killed the old fashion way. Heck, bring the whole family for a wonderful experience. I'm sure most of you with weak stomachs will turn into vegetarians afterwards.
This is simply an option if you’re fed up with the crappy meat at the grocery store that's been sitting around for an unknown period of time and fed or covered with dyes and other crap to look healthy. I could care less about the religious aspects.
Referring to the last comment, did the preparers wash their hands after using the crapper at the grocery store?
I thought "halal" was arabic for dirty hands.
What, no beef?
The stanch from this place is absolutely disgusting and carries for blocks when the wind is right (or wrong as the case may be).
Islam is alive and well and thriving in New York City. First the slaughter houses, next the mosque at Ground Zero. They come here in droves and breed multiple children, open their Islamic schools. Yes folks -- By the year 2020, you will see minarets in our NYC skyline. We are in big, big trouble. The politicians and the American public better smarten up or we will be run by the rule of Islam and Sharia Law.
It's coming folks - mark my words - you will eventually see ritual slaughter of sheep during Ramadan on the streets of NYC someday in the near future.
But just think how much more Vibrant! and Diverse! your life is now!
All those boring white people never did fun things like that in the streets!!!
Convert, be enslaved, or be killed. God is great.
Muslims are not being assimilated into Queens. Queens is being assimilated into the Ummah.
We are letting this all happen right under our noses.
I hope all you liberal gals will all enjoy wearing burkas soon.
Don't worry, Jesus will save us. And if not, the Jewish god, or the Hindu gods, or Santa
Chinese are alive and well and thriving in New York City. First the chinese take out resturants, next the massage parlors next to ground zero . They come here in droves and breed multiple children, open their chinese schools. Yes folks -- By the year 2020, you will see Chinese Pagodas in our NYC skyline. We are in big, big trouble. The politicians and the American public better smarten up or we will be run by the rule of Feng Shui Law.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISUNITED STATES OF AMERIKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Chinese are very different from Muslims you idiot! ;-)( sorry just had to say that). Islam has a directive from the Koran to migrate(Hijra), invade the host country, and eventually dominate ~ by means of cultural/passive jihad AND violent jihad. The Islamic "struggle" is to make America an Islamic State. Feng shui is about space, design,energy and POSITIVE flow.. The antithesis of what the evil cult of Islam stands for. Wake up liberal/leftist non-muslim/infidel thinkers! Islam will dominate, subjugate and tax(jizya) all of you faster than you can say "I AM MUSLIM TOO!" ...Beware who you support in the name of multicultural diversity. You may have an open mind and tolerance, but Islam does NOT. Read the Koran, the Hadiths, the Reliance of The Traveller(Official Manual of Islamic Law) - find out the truth. Understand what taqiyya, muda'rat, Tamkeen, I'dad,Ta' Leef al Qulub mean to muslims. Learn to digest and handle the unpleasant truth. Our freedom depends on it.
Read "Modern Day Trojan Horse" by Sam Solomon & El Al Maqdisi (available at Amazon). ~ learn about the Hijra and understand the why and how of all the halal carts in NYC, the increase in halal slaughter, and the overall increase of Islamic presence and separatism. It's well worth the 15 bucks!
