Subject: RE: BS: Halal Meat on sale in the UK
This has nothing to do with Islamaphobia, actually.

It's about the animals suffering in the least possible way.
It's about the public's right to know, and their right to choose. It's about what is right and what is wrong.

And...it's about WHY this has been allowed to happen without anyone having to tell anyone else.

Just the other day a lady in Devon found out that her local abbatoire killed according to the rules of halal.

Why?   I'm sorry, but....WHY? It is NOT racist to ask that question, not in the slightest. And those who state that it is are merely trying to stifle the debate of why this is being allowed in our country. It has been banned in many others. It should be banned in ours too.

The RSPCA are very unhappy about it, but seem to have caved in, for some inexplicable reason.

Animals and their welfare come before religion in my book, no matter what that religion may be.
