They are, it's just the usual anti religion nonsense going on in here, a thread worthy of GD with all the rubbish in it. People like posting hard liner snippets and ignore the majority view and what actually happens.

Agreed. This thread gave me massive GD vibes when I read through it earlier. Sad really, as La Cuisine is mostly free of that normally.
Good to see that the OP is permabanned now though.

There is so much more to halal then is mentioned here. In fact there are a lot of very humane principals that must be adhered to in order for it to even classified as halal. A lot of this having to do with the handling of the animals, not letting them see their friends being killed etc....
Stunning is acceptable in islam, even more so on the basis on it being more less painful for the animal.

As cruel as the way Halal meat is made, I find a certain irony in people bashing Halal meat e.g. chicken.
Don't kill them without stunning them.
Don't make them suffer at the last moment of their live.
Yet battery hens are tolerated because there is a demand for affordable meat. Every time you buy a chicken that's not labelled 'Free Range', it can only come from mass farming so you can get chicken at £3.50 each, compared to a £7 for the same weight to weight Free Range variety.
Go to Nandos, go to KFC, go to your local fast food/takeaway, just because the meat isn't Halal, do you automatically get a satisfaction to eating it as the animal didn't have to suffer the very last moment?
The disillusion some posters here demonstrated against Halal meat on principles is ridiculous when the real suffering of none Halal variety is the same, except over a longer period of the animals life. I'm not saying Halal meat are all Free Range either. I just think people need to rethink their believe and not just bash things on superficial principles.
You either look at the whole picture and go Veggie or start shifting to better quality of life meat by paying more out of your pocket on EVERY meat you buy.
