Should Halal meat be banned in the UK?

Obviously.....

Doesn’t mean the animal should be conscious for it though

Use the sharpest knife on earth and say whatever prayer you want but if you don't stun a cow prior to slaughter it will feel immense pain as they have major blood supply on the back of their neck, which is not cut during killing. Therefore regardless of religion and whether or not inhumane practices should be allowed on religious grounds this is unacceptable.

But to make an animals suffer from an electric shock is acceptable? How do you know if slaughter is more harmful than stun?

Did you become a cow and experience it and came back to tell us?

Quit the bashing. Piss off a cop and let him stun you with a tazer and let us know how you feel after. Oh and by the way an animal stun is longer at higher voltages.

End of topic.

Mr animal welfare officer sir...

As i said above shocking an animal with 50,000v or more is not acceptable.

If the animal is killed by stun and the heart stops pumping or if it dies how do you make it halal?

People need to stop bashing halal meat if they care about animals then dont eat meat - so stunning should not be allowed.

Where are the vegans...

Well here is some none science if I ever did read it ^^

The point is that when you slit most throats this cuts the major blood supply to the brain and therefore the oxygen supply that keeps it sentient. However cows have another supply, the invertebral supply. This means that even after severing the first artery the cow feels pain and is conscious for longer periods of time. So no, I have not been reincarnated from bovine to human, I have just studied simple anatomy and recommend you attempt the same. Regardless of personal beliefs I would personally refuse to follow barbaric tradition over simple fact.

When you are tasered it is not to the cranial region. Shocks are delivered to an animals brain in such a method as to override normal brain electrical activity and render them in an epileptic like state. Unconscious and insensitive to pain. To stun and then slaughter by the halal method personally I believe is fine as the animal has been rendered insensitive to pain.

For reference voltage means absolutely nothing without adequate current.

Also perhaps in future refrain from swearing and acting childish on an educational forum because somebody intellectually challenges your viewpoint. It doesn't really reflect you as a well collected individual - which I am sure you aim to be

If you have any more questions you're unqualified to answer feel free to send them this way though.

Your argument is based upon a stun not being instant unconsciousness, which for the extreme majority it is.

If it heart stops how do you make it halal? I don’t care.

Your final argument is my entire point you seem to think it’s hypocritical to treat animals as well as possible if you eat meat.

It isn’t, they should be fed, reared, treated and killed in the best possible way.

You dont care? You a Britain first "activist"? Because they have poor debating skills..
.

Best possible way? And who are you to state which method is the best?

Experts in the States said it was more humane to kill death row inmates via lethal injection rather than shocking, shooting or hanging. Yet the injection caused many to suffer pain and squirm.

And now the same people say about the best way to slaughter an animal?

I rest my case for an Islam basher. I dont see idiots like you making topics for kosher practices which uses the same approach!

Kosher/Halal requirements should never supercede animal rights, and from the sounds of it, they currently don't.

If a stunned animal can still be considered Kosher/Halal, then there is no reason not to make stunning mandatory. In the rare cases an animal dies from being stunned, it should be handled in the same way as what must already be done for animals that die of other causes before slaughter (such as a heart attack).

Yes, I don’t care what some guy wrote 1400 years ago on how to kill animals.
I only care about how we do it today, and yes that includes kosher too.

You accuse me of being a Britain first activist and that I can’t debate, yet you think your religion supersedes animal rights and give no rational justification.

Getting angry are we? i wonder why. Now we can see what it's really about...

Guess the truth hurt.

Funny how the stuff of 1400 years in particular to science has come true...

Well stunnin is torturing as stated above.

Animal welfare? Then dont eat meat pal. Petty aren't y'all?!

Of course it should be banned

I've heard that there are 3 veins in the throat of animals and one of them actually gives pleasure when cut. So although it lools cruel, the animal doesn't suffer. It's better than electrocution or however else you use it.

can you not let people practise their religion?

When stunned, the meat become polluted with hormones.
Quick slaughter in the correct way is best for the animals, they don't suffer.

Sure as long as it isn’t (in this case animal welfare) to the detriment of others.

Kill them halal style IF they have been stunned.
