new thread on opinions on Kosher/Halal non-stun slaughter.

[pasteldreams]

A new thread without the derailment that happened on the previous thread.

100% of Kosher meat and 42% of Halal is from non-stun slaughter, considering the majority of the UK is anti non-stun slaughter, can we realistically expect a ban on this practice in the near or long term future?

Many vegans believe that it is hypocritical to focus on non-stun slaughter as opposed to all slaughter, but I believe it's a basic minimum to expect a ban on non-stun slaughter when the majority of the UK expect it too.

@ChristmasFluff

Would you rather be hit over the head or electrocuted before your throat was cut, or just have your throat cut?

Without question the former.

Kosher slaughter is aimed at minimising the suffering of the animal. In fact anything deemed as additional suffering or torture render the animal not kosher.

Obviously the idea and reality of any slaughter is horrible.

Why are you trying to convince strangers on an internet message board?

What a strange question. Why does anyone ever start a discussion on anything on Internet boards? I'm not the first to raise such a subject in AIBU and won't be the last. I find the pious attitude of what's allowed to be posted where rather odd.

Its a good thread OP

Thank you.

Yes and same with Halal. The BVA and RSPCA disagree that slitting the throat of a conscious animal minimises suffering though because of how long it takes for the animal to die.

@Itsafineday

refused to engage with the points I made to counter their attacks

There's a difference between attacking and challenging.

I never personally tracked you, I challenged your assumptions than stunning was in any way preferable.

Okay I apologise for getting defensive and being rude.
