Belgian Ban On Halal And Kosher Slaughter

[fender62]

i have to agree the ban is correct, animal suffering for some archaic religious belief
this ban should be in all western countries, as a meat eater myself i would not want the animal
to suffer, call me a hypocrite err vegans would but i do actually care about them suffering.

That's the way they used to do it before meat was commercially farmed.

Barry has explained fender.

there is no right way it seems, i guess one just has to make a judgement call, most don't probably know or perhaps even care how our livestock are farmed and despatched, except those involved in the process ie farmers and abbatoirs.

i watched a programme with Jamie Oliver i think he was on one his Italy trips where he met up with a shepherd who kept goats, you watched as the young goat was killed, it caused quite a controversy back home

This sort of thing amuses me: people shout about animal slaughter but out of sight presumably is out of mind

[emmie]

perhaps most don't think of it, some do obviously as there wouldn't be protests by animal rights groups -

[emmie]

barry has given his finding fine. He seems to know more than most on here about the process.
