Alexandria poultry slaughterhouse receives warning from city for selling rabbits

The Alexandria Times reported that DC Poultry Market, the controversial halal meat market at 3225 Colvin Street, was cited with a warning for selling rabbits.

DC Poultry Market’s special use permit was approved back in 2019 in a 5-2 vote, but part of that permit stated that the butchery could only keep live poultry at their facility.

But the butchery’s own Facebook page lists rabbits as one of the offerings at their Alexandria location, with the butchery even specifying to someone asking about rabbits that they will be available.

Videos on YouTube from July show rabbits in a cage at DC Poultry Market.

The Alexandria Times reported that the Department of Planning and Zoning issued a warning to the market on Tuesday after they informed an inspector they were selling rabbits.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
