Religious Mumbo Jungo is nothing to me.
Muslim Slaughter allows for the animal to be unconscious when it is killed.
Jewish Slaughter does not, the animal must be conscious when it's throat is slit.
I object to that, big time.
It is my view, that as Omnivores, we should respect the animals that we eat and cause them the minimal amount of suffering.
This means stopping Kosher Slaughter.
Stop this here in the UK and Halal would be no issue.
Kosher Meat enters the food chain unlabeled, I object to that, I think it is a Barbaric Practice.
It is much worse than Halal, where animals can be stunned and unconscious when killed.
I do realise it's the same here.
Like you I don't have a problem with Halal if the animal is stunned first. When I was growing up I would watch local butchers kill sheep in exactly that way in the slaughterhouse at the back of the HighSt shop ( those were the days!)......minus the Islamic prayer of course.
They would lead the sheep in, stun them by placing electric tongs at the temples, hook them on a moving rack, slit the throat and when the rack moved them up to a manageable height , they would slit the stomach to purge it's contents. They would do about a dozen at a time and then process them further at the back of the shop..
We used to go along on a Sunday morning at about 7am to watch this happen and the butchers' were happy to let us watch.
If they are stunned it's fine. If they are not stunned it's cruel and gratuitous and should be outlawed.
