Don’t forget KFC which to my knowledge are all halal. Well the ones I visit are anyway. Chicken tastes the same. And I also shop sometimes in some of the Asian supermarkets for meat as it’s cheaper and better quality I find than the big supermarkets

It tastes the same but killed differently.

What did asians do before we did halal meat? And are they making it cheaper to get more people to buy it then that will become the norm?

No meat should be halal anywhere in the world. Animals should be treated as best as possible in their lives leading up to 'their time'. And the act should be as painless as possible. The method used should not be dictated by anything to do with any religion.

English isn't a religion. English people can be Muslim. So can the Scots , the Irish, the Poles, the Welsh, the Chinese..... yada yada.

No, I do eat Halal meat as I like a curry so don't have much choice, but I would rather Halal slaughter was banned outright on cruelty grounds. I'm not religious in the slightest so find it hard to get my head around why so much pandering is done for those who believe in sky pixies, and that includes all religions not just Islam.

It's heavily processed, but a mycoprotein (i.e. a fungus that was originally found in Lancashire I believe), then also eggs, and a whole lot of other stuff that is not exactly what you would call healthy.

If you eat meat, you ARE responsible for the brutal death of an animal. Stunned (if it works, it regularly does not) or not it's a brutal way to go.

Insisting on stunning is mainly a measure ensuring people don't feel too awfully bad for the killing of their dinner because it was heaving a nice voltage induced nap when it was split open from throat to anus.

If you want to ensure the welfare of your meat, kill your own.

Just seems to me if you're not religious, and the animals are slaughtered in a humane way (otherwise it wouldn't be allowed) why should it matter to you if the meat is halal or not. So it might as well all be. Surely it's a very good way of welcoming muslims into our multi cultural society. Maybe a small section of non halal for any remaining Christian's. But even they should be ok so long as they bless their food in Jesus's name.

I have done in the past not knowing and she politely declined. It was only when I was speaking to my other neighbour about her not eating my lunch that I found out that she didn't eat Halal meat x

Only ate halal sorry

How did she know it wasn't halal? Did you tell her? Otherwise she wouldn't have known. That's what the question was. "

I have no idea. It was after talking to my pal about her not eating my lunch that she said thats why she would have refused it and that she buys her meat from certain places. I just presumed that's why she didn't eat it x

Hey clem, should we just let sharia law rule too?

Certainly some aspects of it would benefit our own laws I'm sure.

"I agree that every animal should be looked after even when its been slaughtered and should be done as humanely possible not slaughtering whilst still alive"

I'm sorry to break it to you but all animals that are slaughtered are alive at the time.Any slaughtering method could be considered cruel and inhumane.

Stunning the animals with an electric shock before slaughter may mean they don't feel the bolt going through their brain but it's still something many people prefer not to think about.

If you really don't wish to be involved in any mistreatment of animals,you'd need to be a 100% strict vegan.Not just in diet but in every aspect of life,much easier said than done.

The practice of killing an animal with a knife and draining is all over the world. Including Catholics in the preseny. I've done it myself when I was a child. We are taught to survive we have to kill animals to eat. I'm certain in England we did the same before commercialisation of meat.

Those who say it's more humane to stun them, you still killed them, ended their life, took them away from their families. How they slaughter animals now is not to make it more humane but to kill in the masses. A cost cutting exercise to increase the profit. Haven't battery Chickens taught us anything?

If the animals were slaughtered in a humane way then there’s no reason why all meat can’t be Halal / Kosher friendly.

However, there are no guarantees regardless of methods used that the animals didn’t suffer at the time of slaughter.

In this day an age no religion of any sort should force its way into other peoples lives.

Those that want to eat Halal have chosen to do so and shouldnt feel put out by having to search for it "plenty of it knocking about".

And more so those that disagree with the practice of Halal should not be forced into it being the only option because the powers that be have decided to pander to a minority.

You can if you want your Sunday roast to have been killed quickly and painlessly. We have laws about transporting and slaughtering animals because people care how they die.

It's not painless. Even a stunned animal dies horribly. I used to work for a company that rendered fats and proteins from carcasses for sale to the make up industry amongst others. went into a lot of slaughterhouses and the process is still horrible, there is still consciousness in the eyes of the animal, they thrash violently and vocalise pain when dying.

We in the western world aren't animal lovers at all, we just tell ourselves we are and pretend our methods are humane. That's just for us to feel better, not the animal, an ease in our minds, not the animals suffering

Stunning the animals with an electric shock before slaughter may mean they don't feel the bolt going through their brain but it's still something many people prefer not to think about.

As has been said before - most Halal meat is pre-stun. This is according to an abbatoir vet that I know.

I don't think it's actually feasable not to stun in the larger abbotoirs, because you'd have to take animals off the line.

Kosher slaughter can never be pre-stun.

As an aside, there was an interesting doccumentary some years ago which examined slaughter methods and when you look at a cardiograph of a stunned animal, there is a massive "stress" spike as it is stunned (as you might expect), whereas ones that just had their throat slit (the knife is very sharp) didn't show it, the heartbeat just got weaker. Even less visible stress was shown by carbon monoxide slaughter, which I believe is already a reality in some places.
