TRACY <br /> Islamic*Center <br /> February 41h, 2020 <br /> To whom it my concern, <br /> Ahmed Hussein is a member in our community at the Tracy Islamic Center in <br /> which he is currently working to start Navu Farms and providing an area for <br /> abattoir. This will allow us to process halal meat for our community. We <br /> understand that Nava Farms will be using best practices and the animals will <br /> be free range. <br /> There are many benefits of free-range farming, some being that free-range <br /> animals are much more healthier because they are able to graze and roam as <br /> they wish. Another benefit for having a free-range farm is the diet of the <br /> animals. Animals that are caged or locked within a set area and are solely fed <br /> commercialized food or fillers are different from animals that are able to graze <br /> and forage themselves, the nutrients and vitamins are absorbed differently. <br /> Research has shown that free range animals are happier in general and as <br /> Muslims, we have the upmost respect for the animals that we consume. <br /> We at Tracy Islamic Center encourage and support Ahmed Hussein and Navu <br /> Farms in allowing us to continue with our religious traditions and culture. <br /> Tracy Islamic Center are not part of this business/have with no financial <br /> ties/affiliation/obligations towards Navu Farms, but we encourage and support <br /> to have this local business for our community. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> r� s, <br /> Asif Mohammed <br /> Tracy Islamic Center <br /> Tracy Islamic Center, (TIC) is a 501©(3)non-profit religious organization. <br /> Tax ID #99-3332338 <br /> 11970 Larch Road, Tracy, CA 95304 <br /> Tel: 209-830-6286 Email: Info@TracylslamicCenter.org <br /> http://www.tracyislamiccenter.org <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-1800316(UP) 100 <br /> Response Letters <br />
