a matter of animal welfare to be applauded? or right wing religious intolerance to be abhorred?

we do have to stun them sometimes now even if we do not believe it

[sith123]

well whatever happens im still buying halal

sith your choice, however it's not ours. All food outlets should display if the meats are halal, and if that means labelling them then fine. And i fail to see why the animal rights brigade who supposedly care about animal welfare don't protest about this.

[sith123]

that was one of my points...to label the meat.

[emmie]

but that hasn't always happened and some people have only found out by accident, which is wrong.

i know em, i agree completely, i would not make the pint if i did not, however i dont sacrifise the meat so i cannot do anything about it, i just eat it, yes, we should all label our meat, i agree.
