One has to say that the "exemption" appears to be political correctness run mad.Originally posted by Rat Faced@14 November 2003 - 20:59
I think Kosher is the same method..
There is also a movement to ban in the UK, of which im all in favour.
All that is being removed in Europe is the exemption to Jews/Muslims to stun the animals prior to slaughter, as far as im aware.
I dont think anyone is saying you cannot kill them like this...just they must be unconsious/stunned first.
I would suggest that if I applied to the local council / police to slaughter an animal a day, by cutting it's throat and letting it bleed to death then they may just send the RSPCA to visit me.
I would also suggest that I would be prosecuted for some sort of cruelty offence. However if it is done in the name of culture / religion or whatever, then the normal rules do not apply.
I am all for equality. To me it means the same rules apply to everyone, regardless of ....
