Thank you so much for exposing this barbaric practice by the religion of peace. Their peace extends to animals as well! Leave it to PETA to not plaster across of all media how cruel this practice is, just as they have ignored the problem with dead whales in the Atlantic caused by noisy wind turbines - another worthless "3-letter" organization. In Maryland, countryside, expensive, "organic" beef ranchers are touting their halal meat. Seems it has become fashionable to do so.
Check out Oregon Initiative Petition 28. It purportedly bans animal cruelty, but if it passes I could be charged with sexual assault for artificially inseminating my cows. This is a slippery slope.
This is still allowed so the article is correct. As of 2023 UK law: You must stun all animals before you slaughter them unless an animal is being slaughtered in accordance with religious rites, for halal or kosher meat.
the slaughter must be done in a way that follows Jewish or Islamic religious practice
the meat must be intended for consumption by Jewish or Muslim people
You can only carry out slaughter without stunning of:
bovine animals (including calves).
sheep
goats
Approximately 30% of lamb, 31% of chicken, and 7% of beef in the UK is produced through halal slaughter methods. Overall, halal meat accounts for a significant portion of the meat market, driven by both the Muslim population and broader consumer demand for halal products.
What agency monitors who sells to just Jewish and Muslim people, probably none.
What part of the law forbids kosher or halal meat to be sold to non-Jews and non-Muslims? In the absence of such a law, there would be no need for an agency to monitor this.
Are you opposed to hunting, by the way? Many more animals are hunted each year, in both the UK and the US, than are slaughtered for halal or kosher meat. Many of these animals suffer gut shots or other injuries that result in great agony and slow death.
If you are opposed to kosher and halal slaughter on the grounds of animal welfare, does that not also dictate opposition to hunting? If not, why not?
Thank you for bringing cattention to this horrible practice. I had no idea. I'm moving back to Texas this Saturday and will let my HEB know how I feel about it.
Next, I'll be contacting my state and federal representatives.
And what about hunting? It is illogical to outlaw halal and kosher slaughter on grounds of cruelty to animals without outlawing hunting, which is both far more cruel and involves far more animals.
No, my opposition to halal and kosher slaughter is that it is unnecessarily cruel and comes from cultures foreign to America. What insults do you have lined up for me next?
Judaism is not foreign to America. It has been present and part of America since colonial times, and Jews have actively taken part in building America since colonial times.
Foreign to your personal cultural bubble is not the same thing as foreign to America.
What's more, you merely confirm what I said. To you, a practice can be "unnecessarily cruel," and that's fine, as long as you feel that it's American enough. You only object to "unnecessary cruelty" when you feel it is foreign.
Which is the exact same thing as "my principles for others, but not for me."
Where’s the PETA advocate, the bloviating Bill Maher? This needs a national liberal voice. As I’ve said before, the best chance of Libtards drawing lines is with dogs and other animals.
The problem is this is not a factual piece. It is fear mongering, and at its heart xenophobia masquerading as animal welfare. Thesea re the facts, as easily verified by using Google or any AI tool: "Halal meat is widely available and offered across the UK. It is easily found in specialized butchers, major supermarkets (often with halal sections or counters), and many restaurants. An estimated 15% of all meat slaughtered in the UK is halal compliant, and around 88% of this halal meat comes from animals that were pre-stunned." There is a commonly accepted practice, in the Muslim community, of stunning before slaughter. "The vast majority of halal meat produced in the UK comes from animals that are stunned before slaughter (e.g., 88% of chickens and 84% of cattle)". In fact, all KFC, Nando's, and many fast food restaurants in the UK solely offer Halal meat.
In fact, virtually every major grocery chain in Europe offers Halal meat. Including Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Asda, Edeka, Rewe, and Kaufland. Same goes for Scandinavian countries. See.....your piece is, as always, well written..but you have left out the absolute fact that TODAY most muslims practice and prefer their meat to have been stunned prior to slaughter as it is more humane. There are still a small percentage that want it the more arcane and less humane way of slaughtering the animal...but that percentage is shrinking rapdily.
Not so much that but most Muslims don't want meat that's been slaughtered in inhumanely. The practice still exists, but its waning in popularity...its just not as black and white as the piece puts it. HEB is offering humanely killed pre-stunned Halal meat. Nothing for PETA to get up in arms about ...and the piece makes Muslims out to be like cat eaters in MN....a myth.
That was absolutely a myth...in fact a hoax. Why don't you Maga people know how to use Google? Wikipedia, Politifact, and Snopes all investigated and found it to be untrue. The video circulating was fake. Its fake news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_pet-eating_hoax
SNOPES is the biggest fraud on the internet. Mikkelson, a liberal a lwayer runs it. Wikipedia information can be changed by anyone who accesses it (did you know that)? Politifact “rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others on its Truth-O-Meter,” and Google is good for finding recipes.
Seriously, use common sense...research things on your own, don't believe everything people say. Sometimes its heavily bent truth, sometimes its straight fabrication, but if you determine what is fact or fiction based solely on one sided news source...you lose. Look at Alex Jones, claimed for years the elementary thing was fake. Now hes got a near billion judgement. Can't believe everything you see and hear...especially nowadays.
Yes anyone who is an authorized Wikipedia editor can make changes, which are then verified by multiple editors. Its literally a verified source of information with zero AI or BS involved. Snopes commonly disproves claims on either side and does not take political sides. And Google scrapes information from the entire world of data...100% data catch, replicating what is commonly and verifiablly stated. Are you saying that you...in your home or kitchen, with your stained t-shirt and bright red dunce hat...are somehow smarter than the entire worlds collective knowledge, AI, and the aggregated pure data available on the internet?? Do you realize the insane amount of hubris and down right stupidity that claim makes?? Its almost like you would support some worm infested roadkill eating weirdo to magically know more about health than all the doctors and clinicians and medically trained people worldwide. Seriously....back up...and honestly consider how close minded and flat-earther pizza gate believing culted up youve become. I honestly believe strongly people should love and defend their "team" and look for smart and intelligent ways to promote your causes (like Amuse), but when you close your eyes to everything, refuse to believe, stuff your fingers in your ears and shut out any dissenting possibility of a different opinion...you open your brain and mind up to being force fed beliefs that are 100% wrong. You just can't see or hear the rest of the world, your conviction is blocking your receptors. And you get sold a bill of goods.
I think all the MAGA Karens clutching their pearls about an arcane Muslim food preparation technique is straight hilarious. Quit masking it, and admit you just don't like the Muslims and brown people and don't want them in America. Secretly what Make America Great Again means = Make America White Again. Sad. Listen, the same people on this post clamoring to kick out the Muslims and their halal meat are sitting in a deer blind, waiting for a starving horny deer to show up so they can shoot it dead w/ an AR for fun. Puuhlleeazze.
There is much reason, and good reason, to dislike Islam and want America to be free of it. And Islam, by the way, is a bundle of ideas and practices, not an ethnicity nor a race.
The way that Muslims slaughter meat animals does not happen to be a good reason to oppose Islam, but there's more than adequate reason to oppose it.
In truth, Islam is one of the three great tyrannies of the last hundred years (and of much further back too). It fully deserves to be classified, and abhorred, alongside Nazi Fascism and Communism.
Yehoshua,you do realize that Maga people will turn on you too once their does ridding the world of the tyranny of brown people and gay people and women who want to be more than a trad-wife. They profess to support Judaism, but that's as fake as their Christianity.
Terribly sorry, but I am deeply concerned with the real-world efforts by Islamic people to subordinate the world to a miserable Islamic tyranny. These efforts in the name of Islam that have already extended across 1400 years of times. Many millions of lives have been extinguished in the name of Islam. Many millions more have been reduced to slavery, including sex slavery in the name of Islam. Many millions more have been mutilated (including the systematic castration of millions of African slaves in Islamic lands) in the name of Islam. They continue with full brutality in our times in the name of Islam, in both already-subjugated countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and in target countries like Great Britain and France.
I am not concerned with your strange fantasies of MAGA tyranny, which are entirely divorced from reality. Who has been murdered in the name of MAGA? Who has been enslaved in the name of MAGA? Who has been mutilated in the name of MAGA? What countries has MAGA subjugated? What countries does MAGA seek to subjugate?
None. MAGA is nothing more nor less than a political slogan in a democratically governed USA, of the same family and type as other slogans adopted by American politicians since the beginning of the Republic.
Your determination to ignore the real threat and to elevate the dark fantasy is strange indeed! I am not obligated to join you, and I do not join you.
I want this cult out of our country. And that is what it is. It is a brutal, perverted cult. It most certainly is not compatible with our Constitution or our JudeoChristian values. It is to be banned and eliminated from our society. Now
I have respect for people that are peaceful and follow our constitution. People that follow Sharia Law do not belong here. It is totally incompatible with our constitution. I do not find them peaceful.
I think the militant far right nutty Islamic Jihadists who bastardize the religion of hundreds of millions of peaceful Muslims, basically say the same exact things hateful things you are saying above. Wow...looks like the right wing nutjobs all agree, regardless of the religion.
Seem to me that you AND your fellow aMAGAts are THE ill-mannered, rude, crazed lunatic, Red psychos. Your response speaks for itself. That's why this once-great country is like it is with people like Low-Level Braindead Fourth Reich Nazi Dumpturds being strung along with lies!! GFY and stop drinking the FAUX SPEWS:THE LYIN' KING KOOL-AID!!!
Better idea…Ban all MAGAts who are the most racist, hateful, nasty, insolent, vile UNchristian HYPOCRITES ever conceived! Goddamned pedophile supporters of a 34 count FELON, rapist, cheater, pathological liar - BE GONE!!
It seems to me that you are an ill informed, blue koolaid drinking person. Your response speaks for itself. That's why part of this country is like it is with people like you being strung along with lies.
Does anyone know of an app or website that consumers can use that warns or lists where Halal is being sold in stores and/or used in restaurants?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) addresses the treatment of animals primarily in paragraphs 2415–2418, which summarize Catholic teaching on animals, stewardship, and moral duties. Key points:
2415 — Animals are part of God’s creation; humans must avoid needless suffering of animals and show kindness, but animals do not have the same moral status as persons. Legitimate use (food, clothing, work, research) is permitted when it respects animal welfare and avoids cruelty.
2416 — The moral law is rooted in respect for the integrity of creation; ecological conversion and respect for creatures are linked to respect for human life.
2417 — Hunting for sport and gratuitous cruelty are contrary to human dignity; laws should prevent cruelty.
2418 — Scientific research on animals is acceptable only when it benefits human or animal health and when alternatives are lacking; needless suffering must be avoided.
Deport deport deport them all and then they can have their halal all to themselves with or without stunning.
Hunters do so to enable their families to eat period. When an animal is wounded, they will track it and put it down thus ending their hunt.

Raised on a farm where my dad slaughtered our own meat, I am not sure this is a battle worth fighting.
Purge and burn 🔥 down all Muslim caliphate, Muslim radicals, Jihads, and caire out of America and Europe

Sounds good. Outlaw both.
And what about hunting? It is illogical to outlaw halal and kosher slaughter on grounds of cruelty to animals without outlawing hunting, which is both far more cruel and involves far more animals.
Nope, hunting is part of being American.

“Don’t mess with Texas” has become just as big a joke and farcical slogan as “Never again”.
Texas is no better off than any UK or European country, it’s just bigger, so the rot is spread over a larger area.
I agree it is astounding how far Texas has let this go. Florida is fighting, but not nearly as hard as I would like.
I agree with everything you said in this piece. However, I think it's easier said than done. Would it entail banning kosher meat as well?
Yes It is said Kosher is done in a more humane fashion but I'm not the expert.
Would such a policy also entail banning hunting? If not, why not?
