Did you see that Ireland has now embraced Halal-certified lamb in its supermarkets and this represents a very troubling regression in Irish animal welfare standards.
I criticise it! Along with all forms of animal cruelty including testing on animals. Only Orthodox Jews insist on kosher meat - so hardly any at all. Liberal & Progressive synagogues ignore all that sort of thing (to borrow an Irish phrase!). Most Jewish people couldn't care less about kosher.
Kosher animal welfare focuses on preventing unnecessary pain or suffering, with key rules including humane treatment during life, a specific slaughter method (shechita) using an extremely sharp knife by a trained person (shochet), and no pre-stunning. The animal must be healthy and uninjured, and the shochet must sever the trachea and esophagus in a single, swift motion to ensure rapid blood loss and a quick death.
Before Slaughter
Humane Treatment: Jewish law prohibits causing unnecessary pain to animals and requires providing for their needs, such as feeding them before oneself.
No Muzzling: An animal must not be muzzled if it is working, like an ox threshing corn.
No Mixed Yokes: Animals of different species, such as an ox and a donkey, cannot be harnessed or yoked together, as it would cause hardship to the animals.
Healthy Animals: The animal must be healthy and uninjured at the time of slaughter.
The Shechita Slaughter Process
Shochet:
A highly trained and certified Jewish slaughterman (shochet) performs the slaughter.
Sharp Knife:
A very sharp, blemish-free, and extremely sharp knife called a chalaf is used for the cut.
No Pre-Stunning:
The animal is not stunned before the slaughter; any form of mechanical or electrical stunning is prohibited, as it is considered injurious and would render the meat non-kosher.
The Cut:
The shochet makes a single, swift, and aggressive cut across the throat, severing the trachea, esophagus, carotid arteries, and major nerves in a continuous motion.
Rapid Blood Loss:
This process is designed to cause rapid blood loss and a quick loss of consciousness to minimize suffering.
After Slaughter
No Live Animal Parts: It is forbidden to sever a limb from a live animal and consume it.
No Mother with Young: It is prohibited to slaughter a mother animal on the same day it gives birth.
Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim; All of these practices are rooted in the principle of Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim, which prohibits causing pain or suffering to animals.
With respect that is not the traditional ways of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and never was part of Our traditions. If it had been none would be bothered - it was just thrust on us without the respect of asking our permission or even choice. Not good enough.

How on earth do they get away with this medieval, inhumane and down right sadistic method of killing animals, in a country with animal welfare rights and laws?? I am sick of this happening in our country!
That's because lefties and Muslims are in cahoots with each other: just like in Iran before the Shah was deposed. The left should know that, once Ayatollah Khomeini and his followers took over, the left was crushed, having outlived their usefulness.
How a country and its people treat animals is a reflection of that society!
This DEATH CULT is not us, any that require blood sacrifice for any reason are in fact evil as well as a death cult, more commonly known as BLOOD LETTING - which is all they seem to be about to date.
I am so furious and disgusted with the low life in this country and Ireland, to hell with them all.
This is utterly stupid to acquiesce to the demands of a minority Muslim community. Nobody forced them to illegally immigrate to Ireland and if they don’t like the way things are done there, then simply get out of the country.
Why are governments putting up with this nonsense and where are the voices of the legal citizens of Ireland?
The problem isn’t with you allowing Halal. The problem was you allowing a culture of 100,000 unassimulating barbarians to invade your country. I see that you are now reaping the whirlwind. Enjoy!
They have the powers to shut places down for cruelty to animals! And can take a domestic animal if it is being mistreated and have done so many times around the UK.
I am an Englishman who has worked in New Zealand and Australia auditing abattoirs for several years.
In these countries practically 95% of the abattoirs are for national and also the export market. All meat in these abattoirs is killed by halal slaughter, independent of the ‘end user’. I believe that the same is in Britain.
This means that, unknown to you, and even with the famous New Zealand lamb, you have been eating halal meat for decades.
My last observation is obvious; halal slaughter is bloody nasty and extremely cruel.
A barbaric practice that should have no place at all in the United Kingdom. I hope that Reform will put an end to it when they are in government.
It is already too late as the barbarians have been here for decades and we did nothing about it.
No wonder things are as they are today,
Yes, but we didn't KNOW about it. We have been purposely kept in the dark.
Doesn't mean it is ok, in fact that makes it even worse!
What else are they up to with our food?!
Reform would never go against their masters
Halal has no place in a British kitchen 🙄
Kosher slaughter also forbids pre-stunning but for some reason you don't criticise that.
I criticise it! Along with all forms of animal cruelty including testing on animals. Only Orthodox Jews insist on kosher meat - so hardly any at all. Liberal & Progressive synagogues ignore all that sort of thing (to borrow an Irish phrase!). Most Jewish people couldn't care less about kosher.
Just ban it it's bloody barbaric, while we're on ban the burka, Sharia law, pro palestinian hate marches, ban preaching Islam in our public places

If you’re “against all forms of animal cruelty” are you a vegan ?
Frankly, it is bullshit.
I criticised this also.
Same really

That is just retarded

What does the RSPCA have to say about it, and PETA? NOTHING: that's what; too cowed by the muslim mob no doubt.
Saw a piece on Muslims eating swans by the RSPCA this morning! PETA should be all over Halal, as you say cowed!
Saw a piece on eating swans this morning, by the RSPCA!
Where is PETA??? Ethical animal welfare??? Not a peep
Lefties don't disturb Muslims
That's because lefties and Muslims are in cahoots with each other: just like in Iran before the Shah was deposed. The left should know that, once Ayatollah Khomeini and his followers took over, the left was crushed, having outlived their usefulness.
No matter how much people show the left that they are just useful idiots, the more they fit the stereotype
The same as Lebanon
The two ideologies are incompatible.
It is barbaric, and should be banned due to humane considerations alone.
There is an additional concern: every Islamic business must pay to Islamic charity. This would include the Halal certification authority.
So when you are buying the Halal meat you are indirectly paying into Islamic charity.
Part of which is "for the cause of Allah".
In the Koran is the phrase "fighting for the cause of Allah". i.e.jihad.
It is in England too!
How a country and its people treat animals is a reflection of that society!

Halal has no place ANYWHERE

It’s a complete take over, so wake up.
The problem isn’t with you allowing Halal. The problem was you allowing a culture of 100,000 unassimulating barbarians to invade your country. I see that you are now reaping the whirlwind. Enjoy!
Female liberal voters is why they get in
Last I saw there were several males too.
Lefties are morons regardless of gender.
But it's white liberal women who vote appallingly and for the worst politicians.
Which is easy for anyone to do if they vote, the political class have all been bad.
Okay the point is white liberal women vote terribly.
Especially the left and getting worse.
End of days is upon us
PURE FUCKING EVIL. BAN IT. IT IS SICK.
Ask yourself, would you rather be stunned first or not……. In 2025, this method of slaughtering, is not acceptable…… Never.
The RSPCA dont do anything about it there not fit for purpose
The RSPCA is not the government and do not have power to end this. They are opposed to halal and kosher slaughter. https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/farm/slaughter/religiousslaughter
So, why don't they campaign to get it stopped?
They do. As you can see from the link I provided.
They have the powers to shut places down for cruelty to animals! And can take a domestic animal if it is being mistreated and have done so many times around the UK.
That makes them just as guilty.

That is all down to duplicitous businesses, government and their useful idiots who enable it.
Halal has no place anywhere there is civilization or civilized people
No place in any civilised country
