Our live exports are halal, remind me who it is who wants to stop our live exports, for meat to be halal is must be killed by a muslim.
Tell me Baron, does that include Vietnamese beating cattle over the head with a sledgehammer?
you do have a point.. its disgraceful....
however this is about what is allowed in this Country.... this is something we have control over..
I buy free range eggs.....WHY.. because I do not like the way those hens are treated....
its my choice.....I can buy a product with a Heart Foundation tick on it... if I chose too..and buy the one without and it will cost me no more..
however with this Halal cost.. I am paying for it even though I am not buying it..
and thats what riles me...as far as I know Kosher meat isnt sold in supermarkets......at least if it is I havent been told about it...as far as I know Jewish areas have their own butchers....and shops....they dont intrude on my life..
however if what has been said they are allowed by courtesy of the RSPCA to slaughter animals without stunning them... then that is disgraceful....barbaric...
how can we have two sets of rules in this country...
how can we point the finger at other nations..
cods can tell you now that fresh meat from a butcher shop is no way any cheaper than buying halal meat from a halal butcher shop.
I know I have shopped at both.
Although I don't know about the packaged food cause I have never bought halal products.
