robomatic. interesting series of links, but I think the EU regulations are based on scientific standards at least of equivalence. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:303:0001:0030:EN:PDF I am afraid I am slightly dubious of "scientific reports" written by advocates of halal or shechita slaughter. The results have to be agenda driven. Religion versus reason has been a stumbling block in many spheres-and applies to most if not all religions and in my view the above "controversy" is but one more manifestation. History shows that the advance of science faces numerous stumbling blocks without adding the vagaries of religion to the mix.
