ban on kosher and halal slaughter has come into effect in the Flanders region of Belg

I wouldn't say it's an attack on religion, but most certainly it is preventing Muslims and Jews from practicing their religion. They will have to buy their meat abroad, which in some extreme cases, could lead to severe food shortages.

I think this is one of the instances where the law of the country should not be prioritised over religion.

Unlike the ban on headscarves in France, I believe this goes a little too far. Animal rights protection is not the right justification for this. Shouldn't human rights (freely practicing religion) come first?

Only if the war itself is justified, and the vast majority in human history probably weren't just in any shape or form. Most wars are the result of a wealthy elite wanting to take the land and resources of another wealthy elite, and drafting in the poorest who will never even see much personal benefit from said land and resources to do the dirty work for them.

Killing animals for food on the other hand is just basic survival. Yeah I know, we can survive on vegetables just fine too, but meat is still the most consistent and reliable source of food we have, and for as long as that is the case it will remain a staple part of the human diet.

Slaughtering animals for food is one thing. There is no need to turn the act into an inhumane, ritual sacrifice just to sate the Bronze age superstitions of Jews and Muslims.

It is said that the lobster has pain receptors? However the same snobs who ban ritual sacrifice would be dining on freshly boiled lobsters? Hypocrites, like all other politicians.

If I remember right, there is a story in the Quran talking about someone throwing a dagger to the sky, and it falling and cutting the throats of all of the mammals, but not the fish.

You’re wrong. Treatment of animals > religious feelings

People nowadays love the word “feelings”. It’s not about feelings, it’s literally about whether or not they can practice their religion.

Lol. Most people that are ‘for’ this ban are only lying me to themselves with the whole “UHmM... it’s InHumaNe..!!”. If you are a meat eater, you don’t care about what did and didn’t hurt the animal that you are eating. You don’t know how the animal was slaughtered, weather it’s from a supermarket or the butchers. The meat is the same.

Then that would mean all meat eaters are hypocrites?

I’ve never read either. If it isn’t necessary to not-stun the animal before slaughter then what makes everyone so adamant that all halal/kosher meat is non-stunned? Why is it banned? Wouldn’t make more sense to ban non-stunned meat, or ban meat all together if they are so worried about the pain animals go through? 🤔
