What would be the best business " structure " for a Halal meat
works in Australia to produce 100% organic Halal meats

Assume it would need one million dollars , but perhaps it could be
10 times as much more , or 10 times less , just an exercise in "
business structure "we will assume a round figure

The aim is to produce true halal organic { pure } high quality
meats , in particular camel , kangaroo and possibly some lamb goat and
cattle , this side is no problem , meat production is pretty well
understood

The meat would aim be Halal , from paddock to consumers plate ,
with only accredited suppliers of livestock even sales only to
accredited retailers , not supermarkets who also handle non halal
meats often in the same outlet by non Muslims

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY Questions flow from

****It is proposed to employ only Muslims

**** Proposed to only buy / sell to approved customers who would
need to also be " Shareholders " in order to " buy " ,

mainly to raise funds and guarantee the supply chain has a vested
interest in maintaining top quality all the way from paddock to plate

**** Shareholders would get first chance at meat produced and surplus
would be traded to the public / wholesale market if needed

My question is

* What Australian laws may apply

* What is the best way to establish the business ,

* and world anti discrimination or free / fair trade laws apply ???

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume for the exercise we have 10,000 individuals who put up /
buy a 1% share each , so it would be a " public Company "

BUT would / could it be a " cooperative", I'm not sure

OR a large " partnership " possible ?, is this legally possible to
have 1000 partners , some liability problems here I think , and
management hassles with too many partners seems likely

The aim is to have all workers suppliers and consumers ALL as sort f
equal owners , by them first needing to buy a share and so increase
the possibility of producing a better product

A complex chain of supply from paddock to plate has too many weak
spots to let the entire supply chain down and one case of food
poisoning can close an entire meat works and bankrupt the entire
organisation . Hence I feel a sole trader or limited partnership would
not have enough built in security and would fail if just one worker
failed to obey the " rules " accidentally or deliberately , and
damage the entire operation

It is a very hard job to maintain quality Halal meat , when so many
Christians and Jews take great pleasure in closing you down to please
THEIR GOD

If we are to have a real quality Halal meat supply , it must be
owned and controlled COMPLETELY by Muslims IMHO , from paddock to
plate and every where in between must be responsible for the chain to
be protected and high quality to be maintained , so as to get good
returns from highest quality products , not hamburger mince price and
quality as is often now all we can find / expect , IMHO

I understand the physical side of the farming and meat industry
very well , and small business / sole trader and partnerships are
pretty easy to understand as Iv been self employed most of my life

But I'm not really sure , how public companies and equal opportunity
laws in Australia may affect a business structure , as I'm describing

Yes this is only a question , its far from a " proposal " or a venture
start-up

YES its best to get expert advise when working on a project of this
size

I'm just formulating a " possible " venture and its still too early to
say if its a " goer "

I am just mulling this one over , Need to debug / evolve the
concept

thanks for reading , and come back in a few days if you think of any
useful ideas

* What Australian laws may apply
Ask a lawyer for details. Aside from the usual OH&S and hygene stuff,
the main issue is stunning animals before slaughter. Apparently there
are some markets where they need to be educated that stunning doesn't
injure the animal in any way before its death.

Yep. But probably not especially so.

You wouldn't be expected to hire a Jewish woman to conduct a Muslim
religious rite though.

Best of luck with this business venture. Anything with the potential
to halt the cruel live sheep trade is a venture worth wishing well.

Hi Synic

Yes indeed , once a concept is in place , ALWAYS have several lawyers
check it

I'm still in the concept stage mate


Aside from the usual OH&S and hygiene stuff,

yes all basic laws rules and regs would apply , these themselves are
indeed complex , but can be dealt with

Halal slaughter permits " stunning "

Yes you are basically , right, a sole trader would be best fr a local
butchers shop , and partnership for a big city

BUT I'm looking at today's business environment and I see a Australia
wide venture run like a franchise for distribution from a central
very large meat-works basically serving the entire "specialist"
Australia Halal meat demand , not just burger and chops , aim at the
top end of the market , that's not catered for art the moment , we
have over a million Muslim visitors a year , some very wealthy / well
connected people , but no really high quality producers serving the
existing and growing demand , as well as a large supply of quality
stock and large supply of quality Muslim workers

Even the funds are available

BUT there is RISK , get it wrong and you could lose ALL your
customers overnight ,and nobody will build an enterprise that is so "
fragile "

It does require very careful business planning , there is
opportunity , but there are " traps " believe me , it must be paddock
to plate , and big enough to do it " right " or not at all

I'm not really sure , I think to guarantee 100% Halal , and the top
end users, IMHO , it would be ideal to only employ Muslims as stock-
men and cleaners and drivers , not just , " slaughter-men "

Thankfully , we wold not need to advertise the product to the MASSES ,
the end users would be a small segment of the population, but I can
see a bit of a problem if you rejected a cleaner or driver because
they were not Muslim , and IMHO , this would be necessary , but
illegal ?????
Post by Synic
Best of luck with this business venture.
Its a very big venture , kanga wont likely develop it , but to
explore the potential is the first step, there is an opening , some
day it will happen , the existing meat industry is not going to ever
serve this market as its run by and for Christians and jews, camels,
goats and kangaroos are only going to lessen their returns on beef
and mutton / lamb as well as serve the " opponents "

A Muslim owned and operated meat works from paddock to plate would
be attacked not only as a business opponent , but also on ideological
grounds , possibly on racist grounds as well , I suspect many would
be happy to help it fail , some would see it as their GOD given
responsibility to " help " it fail "

The business structure may ensure everybody in the chain of supply had
a vested interest in its success if they were share holders or
partners

SADLY , one person could close it overnight by sabotage of just one
box of meat contaminated with salmonella

A million dollar enterprise in the meat industry can be very
vulnerable to attack by anybody who wants you out of the industry

Unless you could guarantee 100% control , over the entire chain, from
paddock to plate , it would fail ,

Its all or nothing IMHO and experience , thats why I need to explore
an all muslim workforce and inclusive ownership structures ,



Anything with the potential
Post by Synic

INDEED , it must be stopped , its OK to transport animals by sea , but
not in the ships they are using , bloody greedy capitalists simply
work on the bottom line , its is very profitable , for a few very well
connected people , its madness on many different levels

I think you might be out of luck there. IIRC, for the Halal category
it's really about the slaughter ritual (performed by the right person
in the right way) and, after that, food handling needs to be of a
particular standard (but needs no ceremonial role).

You'd certainly be able to specify procedures to any non-Muslim staff,
but, I doubt you could deny work to them on the basis of religious
beliefs. Yep, that would be illegal.

There's a caveat on that though. If the business is a religious charity
itself then a lot of those religious discrimination issues go away.
Examples being the Catholic schools.

I think you'd be surprised. Definitely the production line would
be smaller than for the mass market, but, there are a lot of
similarities (as far as meat preparation goes) between Halal and
Kosher. Enough differences that they're not compatible, but, they
have the same sorts of things to organise and issues to resolve
as you do.

While the situation in the Middle East is a bit insane, it'd make
sense for the two communities in Australia to network more to solve
common problems here. Practical things like this would be a perfect
cultural bridge. (The more places where Muslims and Jews get along,
the less the loonies can claim one side in the Middle East needs to
be blown away for the other to survive.)

Hi again Synic

Yes i think you are right

BUT would you invest a million dollars to produce ' Halal meats " and
then be forced to employ fools like we see in these groups to handle
it down the food chain

The clowns would take great pleasure in destroying a multi million
dollar Muslim business , like they have done every time a Muslim
business starts up , the crazy Christians and Jews take it as the GOD
given duty to destroy it ASAP

That's why 100 ton a week of camel meat and a similar amount of roo
meat is left to rot in the desert

I don't think any Muslim will invest in a meat works that had
homicidal maniacs working for it , HO HO HO , but mate this is the
reality , if it was forced to employ non Muslims it would fail in a
week by sabotage , that the simple facts
Post by Synic

Probably not going to be a charity

And it is OK for non Muslims to handle the meat after ritual
slaughter ,

it can be processed by non Muslim , but IMHO , it would in time be
sabotaged by Christians and Jews nutters

Problem with camels and Kangaroos are NOT kosher

Halal and Kosher beef and lamb are produced on the same chain but with
different slaughtermen , they do share meat works now and much of
the meat flows out to th non Muslim / Jewish consumers , check out the
' Halal Approved " stamps on much of the meat in most butcher shops ,
less so with kosher in my experience its very very rare to see kosher
in Australia , but Halal beef and sheep is everywhere , look in your
butcher shop at the whole carcass , it must be branded , read it you
will be surprised how common it is, many meat works produce Halal so
as to be able to market meat far more widely , but only tell you if
you ask or look for the stamp

Yes mate , it time the Christians and Jews stopped invading Muslim
countries and killing their babies endlessly since 1914

BUT as the west will slowly bleed to death in unwinnable wars like in
the first crusades , when the Jews and christian taxpayers are bled to
death , peace will return to the middle east AGAIN
Wont be long now that the world can see how bankrupt the USA actually
is , pity the yanks now own / control Australia and will suck it dry
as well as it crashes

Hang on fuckwit.. what about your self proclaimed declaration of

I understand you have no problems with the fucking and molesting of
children, as per your cults rules of self gratification, but would you

muslim cult consumption with your venture?

[...] Apparently there
are some markets where they need to be educated that stunning doesn't
injure the animal in any way before its death.
Whooooaaaa. You need to work in a slaughterhouse for
a few weeks.
Yeah, there are probably some bad systems out there. I'm just going by
some footage I've seen of where it's been mechanised well. Pig's head
gets immobilised in a set position, then it's shocked at a precise
location.
'DOCUMENTARY - PIGGY - 110 KILOS IN 25 WEEKS' (From the Netherlands,
in Flemish, English subtitles). It gets repeated on SBS sometimes.
Yeah, I have been in a few. It really upsets me to be honest.
The doco was bad enough. Imagine the movie Babe, again told from the
pig's perspective, set in a factory farm locale, where the pig hero gets
his nads chopped off early in the piece and is sent to the slaughterhouse
at the end where we see the full production line. Definitely one to send
the kiddies vegetarian.

How's it going Pete? (Another one).
Lots of Petes about, definitely ;-).
It's annoying the Newbies. Everyone is Pete! ;-)
And you are all the same person, because you have
such an unusual name!
Oh gosh. If they weren't so thick it would be funny.
Hah! Same old aus.politics ;-).

One thing I've noticed is Mosley seems to have gone awfully quiet. His
bugbear of child sexual abuse and claims to aboriginality, I'd have
thought he'd be active in the debate re the NT intervention.

Have been taking a bit of a break to update some of the old GUI apps
and improve their platform coverage (now for Windows, Mac, Linux and
Solaris). Have also been mucking about getting a little OpenGL game
up and running. All good fun.
Oooh oooh! So show me the game.
Ah, it's not released, so there's nothing playable yet ;-). There's an
info page for it though at http://canberra.autons.net/

It's based on the classic 80s arcade game, Gyruss, but with a few
gameplay differences. I don't think I'll be troubling the folks at EA,
but, it's going pretty well for a one-man effort, first game and all.

Will have to get back into day-job mode sometime soon, but, enjoying
the free time to play with tech that interests me :-).
Good luck! I am doing boring things at the moment.
Cheers. No doubt I'll be doing similarly boring things again shortly.

Taking a break now and then is always good. All work and no play makes

What would be the best business " structure " for a Halal meat
works in Australia to produce 100% organic Halal meats
Assume it would need one million dollars , but perhaps it could be
10 times as much more , or 10 times less , just an exercise in "
business structure "we will assume a round figure
The aim is to produce true halal organic { pure } high quality
meats , in particular camel , kangaroo
What a load of pig-shit.

Kangaroo isn't even mentioned in your fairytale koran book. You had to get
an "interpretation" (something banned by your koran book, if I'm not
mistaken).

Fuck off donkey-rooter.

Take your pick.
Personally I'd favour an organic borderless organisation structure for a
startup halal operation.

Generally halal is just one operation among many in a traditional
mechanistic hierarchical structure however. You would have to conduct
careful marketing analysis before trying to compete with the existing
enterprises. Most pay only lip service to halal, as do their consumers,
and price is the motivating factor just as it is in other food markets.

Hi DM

You are pretty much right on on your several observations

My interest stems from / interest in marketing high quality , as
against paddock shot roo and camel meats , and its not at this stage a
very big or attractive market , we need to have a quality product ,
BEFORE we can really assess the potential market

The Halal market is very large , if we produce 100 ton a week ,
every Muslim in the world , would only get one hamburger in a entire
life , if you include non Muslims it means it would take hundreds of
years to serve every body with one roo or camel burger as its likely
many would be interested to " try " a roo or camel meal just once , we
could never ever serve the demand, there is not that much camel or roo
available , its the supply side , that is lacking .

The meat works would need to be of export standard , the world is
now as close as the local market , 100 ton a week is about as much as
Australia could produce in the present layout of the pastoral areas ,
its a tiny percentage of the meat market , the product and the
consumers do exist , the infrastructure to join thetwo does not exist
yet .

What is lacking is the infrastructure to handle 100 ton of high
quality red meat camel and kangaroo from paddock to plate in 100%
Halal approved profitable way

It would cost HEAPS , those with the money were Jews and
Christians , until recently , but this is the basis of my concern ,

We must have a very very very tight grip on quality control , in a
big business we would need many partners in the supply chain from
paddock to plate , and many people in the financial structure to raise
the funds , A producers ' Cooperative " looks interesting , a buyers/
end users "syndicate" , may be another , I'm not good at big
business , had a lot to do with very small / self employment in the
industry , but the big boys like to keep control of the meat
industry , they can and do " take out " almost anybody who challenges
their market , its not easy for anybody starting up , against such a
well established marketing machine , as the existing operators in the
meat industry , who now have the customers we aim at

The present public reaction to kanga and camel are the result of
centuries of poor quality meat and handling , there is no reason camel
or kangaroo meat has less potential than any other red meat , /
paddock shot wild cattle are as unsaleable as paddock shot wild camel
or kangaroo is , There is no reason camels AND kangaroos can not be
farmed and processed and handled as sheep and cattle are

As well as the fact we have vast quantities of high quality cheap
beef / lamb in Australia , that act as a barrier to develop other
red meat marketing infrastructures

The Jews find camels , and probably kangaroos as non kosher , its
likely any meat works handling camels or kangaroo would run into a
barrier / disincentive to even consider the cost of developing the
camel / roo / Halal market as it may bar kosher sales , Halal and
Kosher beef and sheep in the same meatworks create no problem , but
camels would create a problem for jewish / kosher in the same meart
works / fridges etc

Its worth noting that non Muslims would / could / and do ,consume
Halal meats , beef and lamb , its widely available , but loses its
real Halal status once it comes in contact with non halal handling or
other non halal meats in the retail outlets, more often that they
know ,Many Australians are eating Halal slaughtered meats , take a
look for the" Halal Approved " stamp on the sheep or beef in your
butchers shop before they cut it up ,
ITS BRANDED , and easily seen , it loses its Halal status if its not
handled correctly , but it was " Halal Approved " when slaughtered

The live stock and markets and finance seem all in order

What is lacking is business to join the dots

One day it will happen

Hopefully its done right , or it will fail , there are a few traps
for beginners , indeed most people are not interested in camel or
kangaroo , at the moment other red meats are still cheap , but as
demand increases , red meat will get more expensive , and demand for
quality halal will increase until one day there will be a camel and
kangaroo Halal meat-works , in time , it will happen , time to start
planning ahead , and that is all im doing really at the moment , its
not something even I would start unless I could be 100% sure all the
lose ends were in order

management hassles with too many partners seems likely
The aim is to have all workers suppliers and consumers ALL as sort f
equal owners , by them first needing to buy a share and so increase
the possibility of producing a better product
A complex chain of supply from paddock to plate has too many weak
spots to let the entire supply chain down and one case of food
poisoning can close an entire meat works and bankrupt the entire
organisation . Hence I feel a sole trader or limited partnership would
not have enough built in security and would fail if just one worker
failed to obey the " rules " accidentally or deliberately , and
damage the entire operation
It is a very hard job to maintain quality Halal meat , when so many
Christians and Jews take great pleasure in closing you down to please
THEIR GOD
If we are to have a real quality Halal meat supply , it must be
owned and controlled COMPLETELY by Muslims IMHO , from paddock to
plate and every where in between must be responsible for the chain to
be protected and high quality to be maintained , so as to get good
returns from highest quality products , not hamburger mince price and
quality as is often now all we can find / expect , IMHO
I understand the physical side of the farming and meat industry
very well , and small business / sole trader and partnerships are
pretty easy to understand as Iv been self employed most of my life
But I'm not really sure , how public companies and equal opportunity
laws in Australia may affect a business structure , as I'm describing
Yes this is only a question , its far from a " proposal " or a venture
start-up
YES its best to get expert advise when working on a project of this
size
I'm just formulating a " possible " venture and its still too early to
say if its a " goer "
I am just mulling this one over , Need to debug / evolve the
concept
thanks for reading , and come back in a few days if you think of any
useful ideas
why reinvent the wheel? There are abattoirs that kill halal.

Roos are feral and only killed as game meat. I think an abattoirs
can get a license to kill camel.

Get your supply contracted, get your market contracted, get
the finance and go and see an abattoirs manager.

Which state, closeness to transport/market, what weight roos
(roos are iffy) and what weight camels are things you
need to consider.

modifications will likely to be made to stunning, knocking box
and stick hole areas to fit out for ritual slaughter.

a million dollars isn't enough, you'll need more
than that.

A million might get you an old knackery and you might be eligable
for export subsidies to export halal dogfood to the ME or Indonesia.

why reinvent the wheel? There are abattoirs that kill halal.
Hardly any meat works handle camels , few handle kangaroo not 1`% of
the potential is being used of either , I know of several places that
do a few now , but its never going to work on a small scale

It like our Iron ore business , Iron ore only pays if you can build up
a basic infrastructure to handle to amounts

A few wheelbarrows of Iron ore would never pay , a million ton a week
dies

Same in the camel / kangaroo industry , a few roos or camels simply
will NEVER PAY, to spend years slowly developing a market is a waste
of time if the big boys can come along and take your customers once
you create a demand , You need to be big enough to develop the market
and then HOLD on to it

Small is not the way to do this job , IMHO
Post by regn.pickford
Roos are feral and only killed as game meat
Kangaroos can be domesticated and handled as farmed animals , see "
Skippy " the movie , roos are wild , but one day will be farmed when
the infrastructure is available , wild roo can not be handled in a
meat works and at present we only have paddock shot wild roo

this is not what I plan to use , both camels and kangaroo must be
farmed not wild to produce top quality meat , same goes for wild
cattle or goat , it only good as burger mince if its not farmed
properly

I'm talking farming camel and roo.



I think an abattoirs
Post by regn.pickford
can get a license to kill camel.
Yes , most meatworks could kill camel now , with a few alterations ,
but don't as the infrastructure on either end of the supply chain is
not there to handle the meat

Hence my reference to , Paddock to plate

YEP that's pretty much how it works

YEP , the logistics are pretty simple to work out

Yep , pretty standard stuff can be done to modify or build the
physical meat works
Post by regn.pickford
a million dollars isn't enough, you'll need more
than that.
I suspect much more

But I suppose it could be as much as ten times more , or ten times
less

The basic infrastructure would still need to be built , adjusted to
size / cost as required once the blueprint is worked out
Post by regn.pickford
A million might get you an old knackery and you might be eligable
There are many ol meat works that could be adapted , but a new one may
be best , it matters not really , but for it to work it would need to
be fairly big after the first few years, like the Iron ore business ,
it really only works if you are big enough , the Little operators
simply wont cut it any more on the global stage ,

We could hang a camel up under a Gum tree and flog it off to our mates

BUT , there are 100,000 surplus camels EVERY year rotting in the
Australian desert , that's 2000 a week , or 400 a day, a very big
meatworks indeed , a billion dollar industry if it was developed
fully, and I suspect its even more potential for kangaroos IMHO
Post by regn.pickford
for export subsidies to export halal dog food to the ME or Indonesia.-
Wild camel and wild kangaroo are little better than dog food

BUT they can easily be as good as the finest beef or lamb if farmed in
similar ways

Why compare quality beef with wild camel or kangaroo

Wild cattle from the NT are only good for burger mince

YES there are many government subsidies available to new ventures
