[QUOTE="JustCurious, post: 124091, member: 11479"] Oh dear what a mess! Where to start to clean up your many misunderstandings? How about with your dismissal of a SCIENTIFIC experiment that was held by a professor and doctor who proved with [B][U]science [/U][/B]not "speculations" & "opinions" that the stun bolt method caused more pain to the animal and produced unhygienic meat when compared to the halal method. You also said that "If this speculation held any validity to it then the world would not be slaughtering millions of animals with the stun method as is the practice". Unfortunately just because it is practised around the world doesn't make it right. If you read that article (link in previous post above) by Jonathan Safran Foer he makes it clear that the stun bolt method is used because it is convenient when killing thousands of animals per day in slaughter houses, but doesn't mean that it is humane, and in many cases the animals suffer tremendously. There is also a good book called the "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser who also takes a closer look at the horrors of the stun bolt method. I am not concerned about whether it is impossible to drain all of the blood from the animal's body, but about draining the maximum amount which the halal method achieves. Halal slaughter is not a religious sacrifice but a method to slaughter an animal. Muslims do not recite any verses from the Quran whilst slaughtering but begin my saying "In the name of God" (I don't know if the Jews recite from their scriptures). I am not sure what circumcision has to do with the topic at hand. Can you please explain what you mean by "Muslims and Jews have a tribal mentality in the case of eating pork", as I honestly cannot fathom what it is you are trying to say. Also pork is forbidden to Christians in the New Testament. "Of their flesh [Pork] shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you." [Leviticus 11:7-8] Here are some things to consider regarding Pork and will illustrate some of the reasons why pork is forbidden in Judaism, Christianity & Islam, but which the Sikhs "does not believe in none of that. Period.": *Pork must be cooked twice as long as any other meat, because there is always a fear of food poisoning from pork. *Pigs do not have functional sweat glands. Sweating eliminates toxins, so if it doesn't sweat, it is not eliminating any toxins from it's body which is stored in its body [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]and which is then consumed by the person eating it[/FONT][/COLOR]. *Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, tree bark, rotting carcasses, garbage, and even other pigs. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves, grasses, roots, fruits and flowers. Occasionally while in captivity, pigs may eat their own young if they become severely stressed. *You can always do an experiment, and put a porkchop and a piece of chicken in a cupboard for a week. After a week, see which one is more rotten. I guarantee you it will be the porkchop. [/QUOTE]
