Around 2000 people have joined an online group petitioning against the introduction of a new halal factory on the site of an old Colliery in Wales. Rumours had begun spreading around the town of Tonyrefail about th epossible development after Halal Industries announced their intention to build a Halal Industrial Park somewhere in South Wales.
The venture would be expected to create over 3000 jobs in the area if it goes through, however a group on facebook called "Stop the Halal factory in Coedely" is growing in numbers, amid fears that jobs would not be open to non-Muslims as well as misgivings about the method of slaughter of the animals.
