Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?
 

As the header says, Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?

I feel it should it is cruel and causes the animal unnecessary suffering.

Plus the government looked a ban, but backed down.


Other countries have banned it.


I've made the poll private.

Does stunning always work? And the bolt through the skull?

Well the animal is stung up by its ankles and its throat slit and bleeds to death.


Stunning doesn't work 100%, but it comes close, and a better option.


Ironical the only meat I eat cannot be Halal.

I don't agree with religious exemptions on laws of any kind. If there's a reason for the law, then how can exemptions be allowed?
The animal slaughter exemptions also apply to Kosher slaughter.

In the abattoir I visited pigs were hung 3 to a hook gassed then their throats slit. All the way through they were kicking and screaming. The lairage was close enough un stunned animals heard the screams and were terrified. How humane is that hey ?

Re: Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?
 

Halal and Kosher meats are technically already illegal as the animals are not stunned before slaughter, but they get to play the religion card.

And even if they were made illegal, there would just be even more backstreet slaughterhouses opening-up.

They have exemptions to the law.
The Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995


About time this rule was enforced.

Halal slaughtered meat is not allowed to be used for the general population. IE You can't have Halal takeaways.

If you're happy with eating meat, don't see what the problem is with halal, horse or dog.
All meat is murder.

I'll stick to stuff I've grown.

I buy halal goat meat, I can't get goat anywhere else without a huge price. Most Indian restaurants will use halal meat.

Re: Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?
 

You know why, because most Indian restaurants aren't Indian but Bangladeshi...

Personally it doesnt matter to me at all. Its still the exact same meat. Method of expiry is irrelevant.

The weekend just gone I went to the taste of Carribbean festival in Brighton. Although food stalls were serving pork all their other meat was halal :shrug:

Vegetables have feelings too. King Charles talks to his, it’s where he gets his inspiration from, apparently.

Muslims are not forbidden to sell pork. That's why burger vans run by Muslims will still cook and sell bacon.

Re: Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?
 

They are also not forbidden to eat pork if no other alternatives are available.

Here in Cardiff, there was a big kerfuffle over a guy who was selling meat as halal when it wasn't.

What about the times halal meat is sold as being non-halal, especially to schools, etc. ?
