@Radmore_farm Hi Ben — can I check it’s a traditional irreversible stun? Most halal meat is reversible stunned and I am looking for a supplier that can guarantee traditional irreversible stun. Thanks.

@WFisnext @blaiklockBP @RSPCA_official They are trading away animal welfare because they are scared of addressing “sensitive issues” regarding religion.

@DrTeckKhong I thought the organic label was enough to ensure no Bovaer?

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@fpourque @benonwine I’m fascinated that this isn’t a bigger deal in the US. They also have issues with labelling laws in this area.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@TomWatkins1994 @benonwine The stun isn’t the same for halal. It’s reversible and the animal often wakes up during slaughter and suffers terribly.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@benonwine Yes absolutely. Interesting that our animal rights bulwarks are trying to fudge a middle ground to keep everyone happy.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@TMollop @blaiklockBP @LancashireCC @reformparty_uk @_AdvanceUK That’s disappointing. I would have assumed it’s something many people that support them would agree with.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@seasylvia2005 @WFisnext @RestoreBritain_ Yes I understand. But under the constraint that people are going to continue to eat meat I think we should try to reduce suffering as much as humanly possible.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@WFisnext @RestoreBritain_ I’ve gone super extreme. I won’t eat meat that I can’t guarantee had been slaughtered humanely. It’s been a lot of fish recently.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@WFisnext @RestoreBritain_ They are all busy "engaging openly and productively" with religous groups rather than focussing on animal rights.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@blaiklockBP @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage Many other countries have done this. Rightfully so.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@basilthegreat Fantastic news. Now do the supermarkets.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@TMollop @blaiklockBP @LancashireCC @reformparty_uk @_AdvanceUK Have they !?

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@Town5983 @blaiklockBP @LancashireCC @reformparty_uk They are very careful with their response. They don’t have a full throated defense of animal cruelty but have to consider the “sensitive issue” of religious slaughter.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@ChrisCord57 @blaiklockBP @RedTractorFood @FarmingUK I have been emailing every place I get meat from and asking them about slaughter methods. I’ve found a few places that sell traditionally irreversibly stunned non-religious slaughtered meat. But it’s hard to get the answer from some places which is probably an answer of its own

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@TheCriticMag Where are our animal rights organisations ? @RSPCA_official @HSAofficial @BritishVets

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@TheCriticMag This is a great write up. Thank you for looking deeply into this.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@86Pins @TheCriticMag I agree but you need to ask them carefully about this though. I’ve had conversations where they’ve admitted that it’s religious slaughter.

[RB @RickBakerUK]

@MorganPCALLB Except most meat in the UK is religiously slaughtered.
