[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote][quote][quote]She voted for the nimby's against the halal chicken shop. She will not get my vote for any election, period.[/quote] The chicken slaughter house is happening. Why are you still crying? [/quote] I love when the nimby's call it "slaughterhouse" to make it sound more dangerous. The xenophobia is phenomenal in Alexandria. [/quote] I love when people ASSume stuff about strangers, like someone's a nimby when they're not. I guess I'll play along too, those are some big words for a millennials living in their parents basement. And "xenophobia" some how having to do with the treatment of animals. It will be a slaughterhouse but you want ME to coddle you and re-name is so you feel safer lol. NOPE. Not happening. This is what they do slaughter chickens they slit they're throats=that is slaughtering. What else would you like it to be called? They don't rock the chicken to sleep thus that's a slaughterhouse by exact definition: slaughter [ˈslôdər] VERB slaughtering (present participle) kill (animals) for food. synonyms: kill · butcher kill (people or animals) in a cruel or violent way, typically in large numbers What is wrong with this exact definition from the dictionary? You don't like the truth? The truth hurts?[/quote] It's a butcher shop. When it's the Muslims though, you need a scarier term like "slaughterhouse." Alexandria often claims to be progressive and inclusive, but there's still an alarming amount of xenophobia, and I say that as a liberal Muslim city resident. Funny how often the animal rights activists target grocery stores that sell factory farmed meat. Or meat vendors at our local farmer's market. Oh wait... nevermind. I means seriously, there was zero reason to object to this. [/quote] As a Muslim, will you go to the butcher or will you go to one of the halal stores with sanitized chicken like the Safeway. [/quote] I rarely eat poultry to begin with, but I'd much rather patron a butcher with far, FARRRRRR better standards than your big box places. Seriously, have you ever seen a chicken farm? The halal shop will be sourcing them from Amish stores. Infinitely better than your standard chicken slums. Do you think chicken is born in those perfectly shrinkwrapped styrofoam trays from the getgo or something? I seriously don't understand the criticism of this business.[/quote]
