Viral Fact Check: Al Kabeer Exports is Not a 'Hindu' Slaughter House

I came across a social media post recently which accused Hindus of being hypocritical on the issue of “cow slaughter”. As per the social media post, which has been spread as a viral post, most of the largest slaughter houses in India are run by Hindus or Sikhs and not by Muslims. As we know, as per Hinduism, cows are worshiped and are to be always protected. All the native religions of India have respected cows in similar manner. On the other hand, beef eating is prevalent among Muslims and hence the community is often accused of being disrespectful towards Hindus’ sentiments. Perhaps this social media post tried to “correct” the perception.

The social media post specifically mentioned about one “Al Kabeer Exports Pvt Ltd.” whose expert oriented slaughterhouse is based at Hyderabad. Here is the viral (fake) post which mentions that “all the directors of the company are Hindus”: 

Searching with Google, I came across this petition on Change.org asking it to be banned. The petition also mentions that most employees of this slaughter house are Hindus and the director of this company is a Hindu.

I searched with Google to find more about this company. I came across its official website which is: http://www.alkabeerexports.com/about/

The above company website clearly mentions that the company “is a Muslim (owned) company”. It also mentions that the company’s slaughterhouse in India “does not slaughter cows, bulls or bullocks”. It only slaughters buffaloes. Buffalo’s meat is also called “beef” and hence this confusion has been created.

The website also mentions that there are false pictures of this slaughterhouse shared on social media in order to defame the company. It also hosts a scanned image of Government of India certificate showing the name and picture of its Director who is a Muslim: 

Therefore, it is clear that the viral posts on social media including the pictures shared of the slaughterhouse and the religion of the director of the company, all are false information.

I am sharing this on my blog so that you are aware of this and in case you come across any viral social media post sharing false information about this company, you can share the correct facts and information about this.
