[QUOTE="P0TTER, post: 144231, member: 15129"] There are many points of concern about halal. See this video for a comparison between humane slaughter and halal slaughter... [B][COLOR="DarkRed"]Please watch at your own discretion. According to POTTER ji who posted this article the contents may be alarming. spnadmin [/COLOR][/B] WARNING - I could not watch the video all the way through. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_bZzxep87c[/url] [B][COLOR="DarkRed"]Please watch at your own discretion. spnadmin [/COLOR][/B] Here it is a 10 minute video about how slaughterhouses should operate - Despite the warning at the beginning it is suitable for all to watch.... [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaWajdBEuy8[/url] We must all fight together for good practice in slaughterhouses, because there will always be meat eaters in Britain and animals have no voice with out us. We must continue to protest & write to our MPs & MEPs and Lords and ask them why are we adopting 7th Century cruel halal slaughter practices in 21 Century Britain??? Do it now... it is easy to contact your MPs MEPs & Lords for FREE through this link... [url]www.writetothem.com[/url] It will not cost you anything... other than your time. Here is my recent letter, where I mention that it is forbidden for Christians Sikhs & Hindus to eat Halal... Friday 18th March 2011 Dear Simon Burns, Re: OVER-PRODUCTION OF HALAL MEAT & LABELLING IN PLAIN ENGLISH Without doubt Halal meat is being over-produced in this country... See Graph via link below. Halal over-production was allowed to meet increased demand, but that demand is false, as it only happened because we have all been unwittingly buying & eating UNLABELLED halal. [url]http://halalfocus.net/2010/09/23/uk-eblex-moves-to-quell-halal-fears/[/url] See that Rise in halal and the fall that came after the media woke us all up to the fact that we were unwittingly buying UNLABELLED halal... UK Statutory Instrument 1995 No. 731 The Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995, SCHEDULE 12 Regulations 21 and 22 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR SLAUGHTER BY A RELIGIOUS METHOD specifies that meat is slaughtered by a muslim - for the food of muslims (or by a jew - for the food of jews). Nowhere does it state that the religious exemption can be used to slaughter for the mass market. Britain is a secular society based on Christian principles and it is extremely disrespectful of the muslim community to think that they can try to take control of our food chain in the way they are trying to do. 95% of the UK population are NOT muslim and these consumers are not interested in any kind of Religious Regulation or Certification in the name of allah or anyone else. How dare the World Halal Forum designate the UK to be a pilot project (2009 WHF) and then last year declare that they aim to "Take Halal Mainstream in the UK... and then Europe" In addition it is apparent that by the use of trickery and deception, UNLABELLED Halal has been sold & fed to unsuspecting shoppers & consumers throughout the UK for over ten years, but especially in the last five years... AND they dared to even shove it down the throats of our elected politicians in the House of Commons - which made them very angry NB. That supplier lost their contract & the House is now being supplied with normal meat through a bonafide supplier... unlike the Scottish Parliament who have foolishly accepted going halal at Holyrood. Article 9 Human Rights Act. Freedom of Conscience - gives us the right to religious and secular freedom, ie to not be forced to participate in religious rites. Dedicating this meat to a god violates this right: forced participation... in another's religion without consent. Christians, Sikhs & Hindus are specifically instructed not to eat this meat, so where is non-muslims religious freedom now in Britain? We really need our MPs & MEPs to establish a Policy that will make Labelling Religiously Slaughtered (RS) meat a Legal Requirement by Law. The reason for writing to you now is more important than ever, because within the last 48 hours I have had two very alarming telephone conversations... both with a senior members of staff within a government organisations (to whom I have promised I will not name and jeopardize their position); Consequently I, unlike many of our unfortunate farmed animals, am totally stunned by what they told me! They both basically said that Halal slaughter is extremely profitable. The food industry is banking on non-Muslims accepting with no fuss that the UK is going 100% HALAL. Based upon Britain's apparent low standards in the production of meat which resulted in the BSE and other food scares, Muslims think they can tell us what to do according to Sharia Law. So Muslims are pointing out what their food requirements are and if producers don't go Halal, it will cut the size of their market... and it seems that the UK government have been duped into believing that muslims 'know best' & will not take the chance of having the meat trade weaken, as they will loose billions in profit.... So they are going ALL halal. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Furthermore after numerous telephone calls to several employees of Defra & it's subsidiaries, I have found a great deal of concern about our Food Industry, so I am again writing to appeal to those in power to authorise the writing of a suitable policy that will make Labelling ALL Religiously Slaughtered meat a Legal Requirement by Law. This needs to happen both in the UK and the EU. (I have also written to all my MEPs & Defra Labelling consultant Janet McKenzie.) As a nation we need to demand an 'RS' Label suitable for All Religious Slaughtered meat no matter how it is stunned or what its source is. Simple 'RS' labelling can be used on both Halal & Kosher - solely for the benefit of British consumers & their Right to choose. It will not affect the Kosher Sales, because the Jews are wanting kosher for themselves and are not attempting a take over the UK Meat Industry & UK Food Chain. It will affect the Halal Sales, because people will be able to choose (at last!) to refuse to buy Halal products and that will hit the Sales and thereby bring down the demand for Halal Products. So in the end by fighting the Economic & Labelling issue we will find that we will be able to hit two Halal birds with one stone... For as demand decreases so the need for RS slaughter will decrease too and therefore there will be less animals suffering under cruel demands of Sharia Law. Re: Labelling - Legally we should surely be protected by 'The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008' under Part 2, Section 6 'Misleading omissions'. Consumers need to be able to identify whether they are buying or eating normal meat or RS meat and the 95% of the British population that are non-muslims just need clear labelling in plain English... as soon as possible to decrease the demand for halal. I feel if we don't do something NOW, we may find that normal meat will be under-produced and soon become very expensive... which would then force non-muslims to have to buy the halal alternative. Please, please do something to hurry on a more transparent labelling system in Britain asap. I am writing to you as one of your constituents, but I also write representing over 2600 members of my BOYCOTT HALAL Facebook Group. Please do something now that will enable us to identify halal products, so that we have the choice to refuse them and buy normal products. Yours sincerely, (Me) PS. The fact is that Muslims do not require Halal Products when residing in a Non-Islamic Country anyway... Islam does have laws regarding which foods can and cannot be eaten and also on the proper method of slaughtering an animal for consumption, known as dhabihah. IMPORTANT POINT... However if there is no other food available, then a Muslim is allowed to eat non-halal food. SOURCE: World faiths, Teach yourself - Islam by Ruqaiyyah Maqsood. ISBN 0-340-60901-X. Page 204 Surah 2:173 states: If one is forced because there is no other choice, neither craving nor transgressing, there is no sin in him. So it seems that when muslims are in non-Islamic countries it's OK for them to eat non-halal food... the only requirement according to Sharia Law is to pray before consuming non-halal foods. [/QUOTE]
