Do you know the true and full horror of this animal cruelty, all done in the name of 'religion'?
Halal meat comes from animals that have been cruelly and ritually slaughtered. The animal enters the slaughter area fully conscious of other animals being slaughtered; it is tied up and winched upside down. A Muslim Imam recites a prayer from the Koran...and cuts the throat of the live animal with a knife.
Killing an animal by cutting its throat without stunning it first is, in fact, illegal in this country. However, there is a legal loophole allowing this if it is being done for religious reasons. In this case, it is claimed that the animals 'need' to be conscious so that they can hear and receive the prayers to Allah.
The panic-stricken animal convulses, with its own blood gushing into its lungs and over its face and eyes, this agonising death takes nearly a minute. 60 seconds of pain and terror. And more than 10 million animals in Britain become victims of ritual slaughter every year.
So now you know the full reality of this barbaric practice. But were you aware that many schools, hospitals, care homes and now even the British Army and British Navy are serving us Halal meat without having to disclose this?
Our children are eating the end result of pain and terror. Why?
This cowardly Politically Correct government would rather force feed us and our children Halal meat rather than offend the increasingly extremist Muslim population in Britain; I know that you are as disgusted as I am by this.
It is impossible to find out how many animals are killed by the Halal method in Britain. Our previous Labour government ordered the Meat Hygiene Service to stop keeping records. This instantly disguises the rapid growth of the Halal industry in our country.
Animals deserve better…No exemptions for religion
As a civilised people it is our responsibility to treat animals with decency. The way we treat animals reflects on us as people and on our society.
British law says that animals killed for food must be electrically stunned. This renders them unconscious, unaware, and unable to feel any pain. This process is instant and painless.
It is wrong on every level that both Labour and the Conservative/Lib Dem governments continue to allow the practise of ritual slaughter.
The British people are rightly proud of taking animal welfare to our hearts. Bringing an end to the ritual slaughter of animals is the right thing to do.
This barbaric practise highlights the need for one set of laws that govern everyone equally. There must be no exception from British law on religious grounds.
