Halal Meat?

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

Was quite funny listening to the radio about this the other day. Usual scaremongering and Islamaphobic topic that just completely went flat. Muslims were all in agreement that stunning was ok so long as it did not kill the animal. Anybody who came on air to try to argue against halal meat just got made to look like a fool.

I'm not overly keen on the Halal practices, but I am bored of seeing moaners on Facebook etc who hadn't spent more than 0.5 seconds thinking about where their food came from until they saw an anti-Muslim angle.

Obviously didn't hear the one I listened to where they had to find special guests who were Jewish and Muslim who didn't believe in stunning before hand. Strangely the average Muslim who phoned up had no problem with stunning.......

Actually had some when working in Muslim country a few years ago its rather nice. Not as good as a real thing though.

The majority of UK Halal meat and the stuff the big companies are using is pre stunned. The prayer is said but the animal is unconscious. This seems to because the Slaughterhouses see it as a way to expand the market for their meat.

Though there does seem to be a wish to extend non stunned meat.

Stunning Animals - Halal or Haram? The Truth.

However I think the issue with the public is the way its being quietly becoming the default and that it may be the thin end of the wedge meaning soon non stunned animals maybe the norm.

I think if all Christian Abatoirs started saying 3 hail Mary's without telling everyone there might be a bit of unrest.

I think on 5 Live they managed to get one guest on who was saying a small proportion insist on not stunning but even that was wishy washy.

As long as it tastes good and doesn't poison me I don't really care.

you don't think we should limit the suffering of the animal as much as possible?
