There is a link there to the petition that the BVA have started regarding non-stun slaughtering, they need 100,000 signatures in order to get the subject considered for airing in the Commons.


Sign and share if you want; don't if you don't.  I'm just passing on the link that was in the Farmers Weekly the other day, just in case other folks haven't seen it.  I'm not after a debate on here, I'm just sharing the link .

Thanks foobar - not normally one for petitions but the way some animals are slaughtered is disgusting to me.

but still confused about halal meat…they say it is stunned in this country,
 backed by the british muslim group

yet a muslim butcher wrote…the animal needs to be totally conscious to receive the preyer

there are 2 views within the muslim community some leaders insist on it being concious to hear gods name as it is slaughtered... most accept that stunning is acceptable and most halal is now stunned and the only difference to what we would accept as normal is the slaughterman must be a muslim and will say a prayer to every animal as he kills it.


So whilst i accept that unstunned Halal is wrong not all Halal is wrong...

All Halal is wrong

All Halal is wrong

on what grounds?
