People still banging on about the halal thing ? Have you seen how animals are treated in the average abattoir ?
You do realise that stunning the chickens means that it doesn't feel anything when the halal ritual takes place? It's been the norm in every single EU country that animals must be stunned before slaughter.

Or is it just the word halal that worries you?
Stunned does not guarantee they don’t feel it
Some European Countries have banned it the British association of vets and the RSPCA want it banned maybe the word Halal just worries them as well and not the practice i can see that NOT

I heard its a gateway to evil. One minute it's halal meat, then you are reading the Koran and wearing exploding jackets

To be honest i really dont giving a flying F&&k about relgion, even if it was a Christian, Buddist, Seikh, Hindu practice i would be against it, more to live than just that.
just my view on things i thought i would share if anyone who may agree with it, and if they dont so be it.
My understanding of hen and cockerel stunning is that a belt is able to scoop them up by their necks, and then they are 'stunned' by dipping them in electrified water, which also helps with losing the feathers. Might have it a bit wrong.
A whole plucked featherless British whole 'chicken' from Sainsbury's is currently £4.50. It is packaged and displayed, transported and prepared, with costs involved including producer costs and supermarket mark up. I don't see much room for spending money on making sure the death of the creature is decent and painless. Factory systems can often go wrong, with half stunned creatures and the like. The creature is slaughtered in more or less just as nasty a way as halal, and I suspect that applies to other creatures too.
Delaware Red Tractor ..................Take the most-eaten meat: chicken. At Red Tractor farms, you can cram 38kg of chickens into a square metre, against 39kg by law – the equivalent to about 20 chickens per square metre. The RSPCA's Freedom Foods and Soil Association organic schemes allow more space, respectively 30 and 21 to 30kg a square metre. Red Tractor allows the use of fast-growing chickens, such as the Ross 308, whose bodies swell too large for their legs, leaving some barely able to waddle.
Pigs on Red Tractor farms can be kept on fully slated concrete floors, when the best material is straw. And unlike RSPCA and organic rules, farmers can cut off their tails without anaesthetic, in order to prevent them nibbling each other, which could damage the cargo.
Now that's animal welfare for you, after a shitty painful life, they kill you nicely.
Non-freaks are gonna eat them anyway, I have a sneaking feeling that the animals may have bigger fish to fry then being stunned before they peg out. Anyway it all tastes lovely, humans are engineered to be omnivores, so no point in worrying about it!

This is the main thing for me. Im sorry, but when theres food involved I've not got much sympathy.

How the hell did this get 2 LOLs? Some people are easily pleased :-(
Because most on this forum aren't po faced vegans who appear to have had a sense of humour bypass.
My mistake for not knowing the emoticon for 'tongue-in-cheek'. Well done for deducing someones character by judging one post though. It must be a gift ( ;-) )
