Rejected petition Ban Halal and Kosher slaughter in the U.K.

This barbaric,outdated practice has to be stopped. The animals suffer unimaginative pain and distress,all in the name of religion.

More details

Halal and Kosher slaughter was the only way known to kill ANIMALS for food. However,that was thousands of years ago.The cruel slaughter,which unqualified people perform on a daily basis,needs to be banned in this country. Our slaughter houses have a DEFRA appointed vet at every abattoir,to ensure the animal's are slaughtered humanely,and without suffering.
Denmark has banned this practice.The truth is,most supermarkets,sell us Halal meat,but we are not told. ANIMALS RIGHTS BEFORE RELIGION.
