Rejected petition ban religious slaughter

Ban the barbaric practice of religious animal slaughter

More details

The act of religious slaughter is barbaric and needs to be banned. Cattle in particular can live for a significant amount of time after having their throats cut due to the way the brain receives blood, but all animals should be humanely slaughtered with absolutely no exceptions for religious reasons.
