To be honest I question the meat that is from this area.
Case in point, why is it that all the local eggs are not labelled - free range or organic (if you go to Mega Mart they do have them - from the UK). Also I appreciate that the animals have been killed in Halal way, but how have they been kept before? There is nothing to tell me or any openess about it. Hence the reason they cannot say the eggs are free range.
The Uk has some of the most stringent rights for animals - especially in the farming industry. In fact there has been animal protection legislation for over 100 years - I believe that Qatar has absolutely none, also do the countries which Qatar imports from have any - ie Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, UAE, they may have a few, but I am betting not many.
In actual fact the UK will not send meat here, because Qatar demands that it should be Halal and therefore want to slaughter the animals themselves - which I do understand and appreciate from a religious perspective.
However the UK puts very tight controls on the export of live animals and would not countenance such a long journey for them in uncertain conditions.
How can we find out how the animals are kept from farms around here - does anyone know?? I rather think there is no answer to that, therefore - I question local meat!
