Diversity is strength alert They eat camels in Kentucky Refugee Resettlement Watch
Ahhhh! More beautiful diversity, this time from Louisville, KY where Somalis bring in Halal camel meat for the growing Somali population.

The day you get eaten in Kentucky? Image here: Hump Day Camel Pictures Photos and Images for Facebook Tumblr Pinterest and Twitter
Between 160 and 200 pounds of frozen camel meat goes out the door every week at the Global Food Market, a tiny grocery on Eighth Street downtown.
That is where storekeeper Osman Ibrahim sells the 2-pound tenderloin camel roasts from his freezer case at $6.99 per pound. Store customers, who are largely Somali immigrants in Louisville, stew or slow-braise the camel, he said.
In Somalia, “camel is something you eat every day,” said Ibrahim, who emigrated to the U.S. from Mogadishu and started his ethnic grocery in Louisville eight years ago. [I guess this store is accepts food stamps–ed]
The boneless camel comes frozen from Australia, where the animals are slaughtered according to Halal customs, which are Muslim standards for food preparation, he added.
See a description of Halal slaughter methods in Australia, here. Not so great for the animal in some situations.
Where is PETA? Are they on the Halal slaughter case here in the US? Does anyone know?
