This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Ban the practice of slaughtering unstunned animals for Halal or Kosher meat.

The Islamic and Jewish religions call for the slaughter of animals by slitting their throats and allowing them to bleed out. In some cases, (estimated to be around 15% in the UK ), this is carried out without the animal being stunned. This is a barbaric practice not worthy of a place in 21st C UK.
