Rejected petition Remove religious exemption from animal slaughter methods.
Rejected on
Ritual, religious, animal slaughter is cruel and barbaric, and has no place in an enlightened society, in 2017.
Ban these inhumane practices.
This industry already exists abroad. We should be taking the position such that it doesn't happen HERE.
There should be no religious exemption in the UK.
