Earls asks ranchers for forgiveness for 'dumb decision'

[Locutus]

They express regret.

still reeks of snackbar

A villain of the Canadian beef industry a few months ago, Earls president Mo Jessa was blunt as he took the stage in front of hundreds of ranchers Wednesday morning.

"We need to talk about what is likely on everybody's mind — why did I even show up?" he said to laughter.

The Vancouver-based restaurant chain came under fire when it announced it would start sourcing its beef from an American ranch accredited by the non-profit group Humane Farm Animal Care. After sales plunged by 30 per cent at some locations, Earls said sorry and put Canadian beef back on the menu.

In hindsight, Jessa simply called it a "dumb decision" to not even consult with the farmers in Canada.

"I am asking for your forgiveness and allow me the chance to work with the industry," he said at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in Calgary.

Nice. So CBC and owner Mohammad Jessa make the issue out to be Canadian beef vs American and humane butchering instead of the issue being about Halal.

So Mohammad is getting his Earl's restaurants a Canadian Halal supplier.

I don't see that as a win.

The halal way to slaughter animals is not humane and has been banned in some countries ...

Not to worry they don't actualy slaughter the animal in this clip...
I doubt that the animal would stay quiet when the throat is cut, although When they cut the windpipe too he can't make a sound.
Probably why they don't eat pork, you can't hold them still without them squealing....

Did I hear on the news a month or so ago that Earl's is going to start adding a mandatory tip of 16% to the bill? Way to go Earl, that will ensure customers are beating down your door to get in. You'll do a lot better financially if you just cut your current prices by 10%. People like to have discretion on how to spend their money. I ate at your crummy f**king restaurant about 6 years ago and haven't been back!

Actually, this method of killing the animal can be very effective if done right. First of all the knife must be extremely sharp and the individual who leads the animal must treat it with kindness and dignity before death. A friend of mine explained the process and I would say that it is far better then prodding them into a slaughterhouse with the other animals in complete terror.
