Halal meat on the rise?

Hello

I do not follow Sikhism very strictly, however i will certainly not eat halal meat or smoke though I do drink very occasionally.

As a sikh im sure you are all aware that halal or kosher meat is forbidden. Im am getting so fed up of more and more butchers and fast food places declaring themselves as "halal approved" places. Surely theese places should

give us a choice? Im finding all my local fast food joints now only serve halal meat, and its getting harder and harder to get non halal meat!

Are any sikhs here bothered by these problems? Are you all strict as me about eating halaal meat?

I know what you mean, where I live its almost pure halal! It gets awkward telling white workmates that I can't get that burger they are going to get from that shop because it is halal. They don't really care and will munch it regardless.

Its cool though, go to Dewhurst!!

As regards to being non-halal i.e. where an animal is not slowly and painfully bled to death thus not prolonging the agony, suffering and trauma.

What about fish? How do we know that the fish sold in the market or supermarkets have not been through a slow and painful death.?

If i am ever in a situation where there is only halal meat available then I believe that I would go vegetarian and I have no problem doing that. In addition, how do even know that the meat is halal... anyone can put their meat as halal but how do we really know?

EATING HALLAL means a BAJJAR KUREHIT..requires pesh to Panj Piayars and tankhah..and retake Amrit.
SO avoid it if not sure.

2. ALL FISH suffer loss of AIR..when out of water..so they literally DROWN INAIR..just as we drown in WATER....thus all fish is "DROWNING VICTIMS"..neither Jhtaka nor hallal ???

3. HALLAL is Meat slaughtered in the MUSLIM WAY/SACRIFICIAL MEAT. a deer shot by a rifle/arrow is NOT Hallal even though it may take an hour to die... a GOAT slaughtered by JHATKA at a Kali Mata Mandir is also "Sacrificial Meat"...and cannot be eaten by a SIKH..even though not hallal !!!

4. GURBANI pays scant attention to such....calling those who debate on it as Moorakh....pay attention to that before you get ready to "do or die" over emat/vege ??

I know that it is probably best not to eat meat if you are a Sikh, but for those who do eat meat, how far do you go to avoid halaal meat? How important is it to most people?
