I am a professional animal scientist working for the Animal Welfare of Farm Animals in Pakistan. Hold degrees from Sydney University. It is my endeavour to establish an NGO on this issue in Pakistan. My specific concern is the sufferings of Food Animals in the Muslim countries during rearing, handling and more specifically prior to & at the time of slaughter. I have made a report on the subject as a consultant to Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA),Sydney in the Middle East Muslim countries for 2 years where Australia exports live animals. Australian Animal Welfare lobbies want to stop selling their country animals to Muslims or Islamic countiries. I have held a a very extensive scientific & religious dailogue with world Ismaic scholars to bridge the gap of science and religion in the matter. My purpose of writing you is go register me as associate and for a professional lecture / presentation in any of your furure event, conf., seminar etc. I have lectured widely on the subject in the world and also teaching in France periodically. I can send CV , if required. Thanks.
