Are you really saying that a retailer selling halal meat has to be Muslim?palarsehater said:the issue with halal/kosher meat is it only employs a certain religion a joe bloggs butcher cannot supply halal meat or kosher meat, also stunning has been proven to be humane slicing a cows throat after saying a prayer is not humane imo when there is better and more humane technology out there why shouldn’t we use it?, as humanity trumps religion no?. And in the world of equal opportunity you cannot have one religious followers having a better advantage then others.

I neither know or care about the nationality of the halal butchers. It’s entirely irellevent to the point, which was that the butchers (be they British - British Halal - non British halal or fucking Martian) are being put out of business by supermarkets.Chizz said:
@palarsehater said "Apologies the post should of (sic) read non-Muslim butchers". But @SomervilleAddick has said that "halal butchers" are replacing "British butchers". So I'd be interested to learn - as I don't know - which countries these non-British halal butchers come from.Howells said:

Halal meat puts a lot of British butchers out of business?palarsehater said:Personally won’t eat it, as it puts a lot of British butchers out of business as the whole halal process only employs a certain religion and that’s wrong imo!
It’s also extremely cruel.
Can you explain that? How would the method of slaughter of an animal put a butcher out of business? What nationality of butcher is replacing the British butchers who are displaced?
Some were replaced by halal butchers, because there was a demand for it, and you couldn’t get it in the supermarket.
Now you can and supermarkets will be putting halal butchers out of business.
Can you explain what nationality these "halal butchers" are that are putting "British butchers" out of business?
Palarsehater already explained this to you.
Do you know?
But to make it clear - I very much doubt the distaste for halal meat is down to its method of slaughter. If you really cared you’d be a vegetarian. It’s just a way to express a dislike for Muslims ( British, non British, Martian) without actually saying it out loud.6 -
It's a disgrace that such a developed country like the UK should make exceptions to allow religious slaughter. Kosher and halal meat serves only to ensure that the animal died in the most painful way possible.
Can I also add that vegans should celebrated and not derided. I think it's great that it's taking off.8 -
No it’s because we’re constantly told religion doesn’t matter yet it does when coming to slaughtering animals.SomervilleAddick said:

Each to their own, as I've always said, but I'll "defend" eating meat when it is criticised seeing as it is a 100% natural thing for a person to do.cafcnick1992 said:It's a disgrace that such a developed country like the UK should make exceptions to allow religious slaughter. Kosher and halal meat serves only to ensure that the animal died in the most painful way possible.

You're not supposed to eat bacon rare - it's dangerous.Dazzler21 said:Pets Vs Farmed animals is the real argument starter. Anything you define as a pet in the modern western world should not be deemed meat.
I only really eat cow, white fish and salmon and of course chicken. Don't agree with lamb and only eat pork in the rare (once every 2-3 month) bacon sarnie.
If all meat was banned, I certainly wouldn't complain. As it is however I am gluttonous for beef and chicken and find it almost impossible not to choose it when it's available.2 -
Right. So it probably would have been better if you hadn't introduced the nationality of the butchers.SomervilleAddick said:

If pre stunned there you lose the barbaric view but are creating an industry where only one religion can work in for example the prison service decide that instead of buying halal, kosher, non religious meat they just double up the halal order and keep the kosher the same. For giving way to religion which happens in nigh on no other industry.sam3110 said:

Q Are animals conscious when they are killed for halal slaughter?
For the majority, no. Between 84 and 90 per cent of animals killed for halal meat in the UK are processed by one of the large number of halal slaughterhouses which do use electric stunning beforehand.
This does, however, leave a significant minority of animals which are killed without being stunned first, at one of a reported 12 slaughterhouses in the UK which still perform the more traditional practice, endorsed by Islamic scholars, of keeping the animal conscious when its throat is cut.
Q Do halal slaughterhouses in the UK face different regulations to non-halal ones?
No, with the single exception of whether or not stunning is used. For halal slaughter that includes pre-stunning there is no practical difference in the way the animal is treated.
While European law requires animals to be stunned before slaughter, the UK has an exemption in place for halal and kosher killing. In exchange there are actually more regulations in place governing the handling of animals that will not be stunned when slaughtered.
Q Does halal slaughter without pre-stunning hurt animals more than other forms of slaughter?
Yes, if British vets, the RSPCA and the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC) are to be believed.
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) says it believes “all animals should be effectively stunned before slaughter to improve the welfare of these animals”, while the RSPCA says it causes “unnecessary suffering”.
A report from the FAWC said chicken and turkeys were likely to be conscious for up to 20 seconds after a transverse incision is made across their neck.“Such a large cut will inevitably trigger sensory input to pain centres in the brain,” the council said.

I couldn't give a toss about people, or the fake bollocks religion they follow, but the welfare of animals means a lot to me, even though I enjoy eating some of them.7

It’s also extremely cruel.
Can you explain that? How would the method of slaughter of an animal put a butcher out of business? What nationality of butcher is replacing the British butchers who are displaced?
Some were replaced by halal butchers, because there was a demand for it, and you couldn’t get it in the supermarket.
Now you can and supermarkets will be putting halal butchers out of business.
Can you explain what nationality these "halal butchers" are that are putting "British butchers" out of business?
Palarsehater already explained this to you.
Do you know?
But to make it clear - I very much doubt the distaste for halal meat is down to its method of slaughter. If you really cared you’d be a vegetarian. It’s just a way to express a dislike for Muslims ( British, non British, Martian) without actually saying it out loud.
It is a hideous way of ending the animal's life and it is as simple as that.
The Quran states the animal is to have the throat cut - if a butcher chooses to stun before its entirely up to them as at that point they have already complied with ther religious beliefs
I have no doubt that the bigger halal butcher's comply with the notion of stunning, too. But to assume 'almost all' without being there is simply naive
It is entirely subjective and as I say it's surplus to requirements, as the religious requirement is far more likely to be complied with than some eu law2 -

How is "between 84 and 90 percent" subjective in any way at all? Or are we delving into alternative facts..................1 -

Ok, Callum0 -
Only buy meat from my local butcher most supermarkets inject water into their joints to make them look more succulent. Shop local.3

The idea that religion should override the moral necessity of making animal slaughter as humane as possible is disgusting.
I don't eat meat myself, but others do and that is their choice; pragmatism means that if people are going to kill animals for food (and I wish that they didn't, but that's not the point), then we should try and reduce their suffering as much as possible.
Giving people exemptions to allow them to be barbaric because of some fucking sky fairy is the epitome of backward thinking and it's a disgrace.10
