Rejected petition Ban the practice of halal slaughter in the United Kingdom.

This barbaric practice should be prohibited grounds of animal cruelty. Also our national faith is Christianity, the church of England. It clearly states in the Bible (acts 15:29) "you are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols."
Yet major companies adopt halal without notifying customers.
