Bought a very nice panini today (bacon, brie and cranberry) from the local sandwich shop.
I didn't realise at the time that all the meat in that shop is Halal, which I am strongly opposed to.
Here is Wiki's description of Halal
^"Specifically, the slaughter must be performed by a Muslim, who must precede the slaughter by invoking the name of Allah, most commonly by saying "Bismillah" ("In the name of Allah") and then three times "Allahu akbar" (God is the greatest). Then, the animal must be slaughtered with a sharp knife by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck (while the animal is conscious), causing the animal’s death without cutting the spinal cord. Lastly, the blood from the veins must be drained."
AIBU to think this seems unnecessarily cruel?
(I realise the UK meat industry is far from perfect but this seems particularly nasty)
