This e-petition has received the following response:

As this e-petition has received more than 10 000 signatures, the relevant Government department have provided the following response:
The Government encourages the highest standards of welfare at slaughter and would prefer to see all animals stunned before they are slaughtered for food. However, we also respect the rights of the Jewish and Muslim communities to eat meat prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs. The Prime Minister has confirmed that that there would be no ban on religious slaughter in the UK.
Council Regulation 1099/2009, on the protection of animals at time of killing, and the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995 permit slaughter without stunning to be carried out in accordance with religious rites. Within both regulations there are strict requirements on where, how and who can slaughter animals in accordance with religious rites. These requirements are monitored and enforced by Official Veterinarians (OV) of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to ensure that animals are spared unnecessary suffering, distress or pain during the slaughter process.
This e-petition remains open to signatures and will be considered for debate by the Backbench Business Committee should it pass the 100 000 signature threshold.

So now its racist to protect animals from being hung by their legs and having their throats cut, slowly letting them bleed out until they die.. siigh

I don't care how animals are killed, but to say protests against halal and kosher food is racist is unbelievably stupid.

Why?

Because neither Islam nor Judaism is a race.

Ok, so what you're saying is that only one word needs adjusting slightly in your sentence?

I wouldn't call that ''incredibly stupid''. I'd call it ''Slightly innaccurate''.

Always one isn't there .

Is there something incorrect with what I said?

The ''slowly'' part.

Because slitting an animals throat and letting it die is so fast right? Oh wait, nah science has proven that brain activity persists for up to 2 minutes, with the animal feeling the pain during this time.

"There's always one isn't there."

Haha nice try. But pain signals being produced in the brain does not equal pain being felt. It also says they lose conciousness after ten to thirty seconds. You telling me an unconcious animal feels pain? Or an unconcious human, come to that?



Roflmao. I can imagine you rubbing your hands with glee, as you get to return my initial statement at me. Have one internet point. And a peanut.

The incredibly up to date article (2009) that you cherry picked uses clever wordplay to trick you into coming to that conclusion. Sure enough, you did. Wordplay similar to what you used in your initial statement.

Dont care how it's killed , only how it tastes. Since meat which is killed in a halal/kosher way tastes exactly like the non halal way. Doesn't really affect anyone.
