Agreed. I can not believe the rules in this country to protect people and animals, but if you say you're doing something and you're religious, you can get away with stupidity and cruelty, as highlighted by DJKQ above.

But hey, smart fellas who can wear turbans instead of motorcycle helmets. If you land on a soft pillow thing (turban) you may survive better than if you're head's in a helmet as the hardeness is on the outside, which is the wrong way round.


But, back to topic, I can not believe how halal is allowed to be sold. It IS cruel and yet we pander to this religious nonsense in case we upset people. Pahhhh.

Catch a Condor by simply building a wooden stockade 1 metre high and 50 metres in diametre, and placing a dead goat in the centre. The bird will land inside the stockade to feed on the goat but will then be unable to get out. This is because Condors require a run-up of at least 100 metres before they can gain the momentum necessary for take off.

ps

This is the most humane way to catch Condors.

I am totally confused now JQKD


Are you implying that we now take the animals religion into account when we slaughter it ?


Halal Chickens

Hindu Cows

Coy Carp

Church of England Steak and Kidney pies

and my favourite

Pigs that are Jewish (that must get confusing for them - do they put their Koppel's on before or after they visit the abbatiour ?)


It sounds more like a script from Monty and his flying python (or similar)

Yes, I attend the Church of the Poison Mind at least once a year and without fail every 6 months I take a bath (regardless if I need it or not)

Have I missed something? By strict rules, do you mean the conditions in which most battery-farmed chickens are held and slaughtered for example?


I'm not making any claims on behalf of kosher or halal slaughtering, and certainly not on the grounds of religious beliefs do I think inhumane practice should be excused, but this country has a long way to go before it can claim humane slaughter across the board

By slaughter I mean just that. We have rules designed to make it supposedly quick and painless (which are a far cry from cutting an animals throat and leaving it to hang and bleed to death). As the for the way we farm and keep some animals that's a whole different matter and one I agree is often anything but humane.

I think official tolerance of ritual Kosher and Halal slaughter may be a matter of economic prudence (as much as anything else - such as anti-discriminatory) because a significant number of jobs depend on those markets. Britain now exports a fair volume of ritually slaughtered meat and poultry ? mainly Halal ? to Europe and the Middle East.


If ritual slaughter were banned that entire industry sector would collapse. In which case, practicing Jews and Muslims would be more likely to import their requirements rather than become vegetarians.

    • No they were created by a Hong Kong artist and became a craze when a K-Pop girl band became associated with them. They do limited editions and they've become a collectors item (Like Jelicat for adults)- I'm a bit ashamed that at 65 years old I know so much about them but they are very much a fashionable item. And I'm always interested in Popular Culture. Whover lost it must be gutted because I understand that when you buy one (they're boxed) you never know which one or what colour you'll get...so if the owner loved that one it may be very difficult to replace.
    • Are they a hybrid of teletubby and some other species?
    • Thats a Labubu. I suspect it was lost by a trend-following adult who had it hanging from their handbag. They're a real fashion trend at the moment and people collect them. I hate them they give me the creeps!
