Rejected petition Ban Ritual Slaughter of animals for food

More details

It is time to ban the ritual and cruel slaughter of animals in the UK, on so-called religious grounds. Animal welfare issues should always "trump" so-called religious sensitivities when it comes to these barbaric ways of killing animals for food. Governmental sensitivities to "cultural practices" should not allow horrifying abuse of animals.
