I think labelling would be good in theory, but it would probably just lead to more expensive meat for all.
I am vegetarian anyway, so it doesn't affect me.

Maybe more expensive might change habits and lead to better animals well being.

Buy a pack of mince meat from a supermarket and it's slop. Hardly worth buying it.....you would be better replacing it with lentils. Buy from a really good butcher and it's a different product...more expensive probably but if we buy less but from good suppliers then surely that will help improve things

Consumers don't have the right to know if food is halal slaughtered or not because most people in this country will then refuse to buy the halal food and many Muslim businesses will struggle as a result of people's xenophobia.

It doesn't change anything whether you know or not, so just get on with your life and enjoy your carcass burgers 👊

Helal slaughter allows stunning. Kosher slaughter does not. As kosher meet is expensive and aimed at a specific market it will be labeled as such. So no problem.

What is the downside of labelling it as stunned or non-stunned? It is just information that allows a consumer to make a choice.

People who are stupid will think they’re being kind to animals.

Exactly. If people eat meat it makes no difference if the cow was kicked to death or had a bolt put through its neck, you are still a meat eater and have no right to care about animal welfare at all.

Also, as someone who knows muslims they are the most kindest and gentle souls towards animals that you will ever come across. It's actually the British who are notorious across the world for abusing animals, just look at the whaling industry and fox hunting! Filthy western practices, we have no right to point our finger at anybody else!

Why don't people have the right to know. Your argument makes no sense

Kind and lovely indeed.

I’ve heard more than one Muslim threaten peoples pet dogs as apparently they are haram and filthy.

Whaling has been banned since 1963 in the UK btw.

The state of horses ,stray dogs and donkeys in Muslim countries is very sad
