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.
