That's the point of this post isn't it? Being cruel when there's no need. If Muslims are allowed to eat meat that has been stunned, then why not stun them all? The UK law IS to stun after all. So you agree when those 20% of abattoirs than are not stunning by Muslims are 'not cricket' then? And all the Kosher abattoirs?Choosing to be cruel when it's simpler not to be is not cricket. However, the whole meat production process is governed by demand and economics. Employees have neither the time or the wish to lose their job to be able stroke the animals fur as he slowly passes on.
Your emotions are blurring the lines between pets and livestock
Yes, the whole meat process is governed by demand and this country it is also law not to cause suffering. This suffering happens, not only at the hands of the more religious, but at the UK's own abattoirs too, those that break the rules.
Your comment of stroking an animal is patronising, so was your grown up comment and my blurring the lines. I think I shall leave this now until you hear what am saying, understand what goes on in the meat industry properly and then perhaps you may be more interesting to converse with. Just for the record, I think if my crime in your eyes is to care too much, then I'll take it. It's better than being unfeeling or burying my head in the sand.
