Never mind, autumn will soon bring the inevitable 'leaves on the railway lines' stories to cheer him up.

Here we go again. It is in The Daily Mail, therefore, although I have not checked if it is correct or not, I refuse to think about it and will reject it on principle. Then you stupid lefties have the nerve to call others bigots.

There are real issues here in that two of the principles that our society has been working towards, rational law and humane treatment of animals (as far as practical given that we eat them) are being compromised yet again by deference to an alien religion.

There is also an economic argument if you care to think about it. If companies operating in Britain supply more halal food what does that do to ordinary meat suppliers here?

No you're the one going off half-cocked.
We did check the article unlike you and found it was scare-mongering and mistaken.
They report that BA was caving in and having halal food which was denied by BA. The story is that Gate Gourmet is going halal because of demand by various far eastern airlines.
Purely a business decsion.

You stupid righties just lack the analytical skills to think for yourselves.

HTH

In the UK they will be stunned before cutting. But don't let that stop you having a rant.

Hmm, I don't know; I tend to think that stupid people are often happier than more worldly people.

If ignorance is bliss, pig ignorance must be ecstasy.

Ah, this must be the anti-Islamic rant disguised as animal welfare concern.

Don't forget to re-new your PETA membership.

You must be the happiest man in the world.

No, they most definitely will not be.
