According to English and European law, animals have to be stunned before they get slaughtered. Only in religious communities it is allowed to cut animals throats if the animals are not "unnecessary suffering." But nowadays a quarter of all the meat on the British market is killed according the non-stun Halal principle, while only three to four per cent is Muslim. This means that some slaughterhouses do not stun animals just to cut costs, rather than for religious reasons. This results in the fact that an estimate two millions animals die in significant pain and distress and this is unacceptable.
I think it is horrible how these animals must suffer before they die. These animals are helpless and cannot stand up for their rights. That is why it is the duty of the government to help animals not to suffer. The only way to solve this problem is to forbid slaughter without stunning. There must be no exceptions to this rule to prevent inaudibility. Therefore the people who are pro non-stun Halal slaughtering must be educated, then they maybe feel empathy for the animals. I think people who still do this are sadistic, criminal and deserved to be punished.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Hurray to the journalists and animal rights activists who discover how tremendously horrible this industry is. Is seems to be always about cutting costs. Our duty to take care of all living things because we can and because we care, should prevail.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe government should forbid religious slaughter without pre stunning. It is so barbaric to let animals suffer unnecessarily. If people do not want to eat stunned meat, they'd better become a vegetarian.
