Undercover secret filming claims to show a slaughterman repeatedly sawing at the necks of sheep with a knife as they pass down a conveyor belt. The animals were NOT killed instantly – as should be the case – and many were seen convulsing and jumping while still conscious as they went down the line.
UK Daily Mail (h/t Susan K) The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has taken steps to ban the slaughterman involved and could bring a criminal prosecution. Halal slaughter is designed to meet the religious requirements of the Islamic faith, which forbids the stunning of animals prior to having their throats cut.
The slaughterhouse at Dunnockshaw Farm, near Burnley, is owned by the Malik Food Group, which claims to be ‘the UK’s leading processor of Premium Halal Mutton, Lamb and Beef’. The company website boasts: ‘Our meat is eaten by millions of consumers every year, and is stocked through the UK by leading retailers.’
Many restaurants such as Pizza Express, KFC and Subway now sell halal meat – mainly chicken – without making it clear on menus. Hundreds of schools have also switched to halal and all the major supermarkets sell New Zealand lamb killed according to halal ritual without declaring it on labels.
Conventional slaughterhouses stun animals with a bolt gun or electric shock to render them unconscious while they are killed. Under Islamic law, the pre-stunning of the animals is not allowed.
More than 100million animals are killed in the UK every year using the halal method. The slaughterman must be Muslim and, in theory, a religious verse should be recited. In many abattoirs a recording is played over a loudspeaker.
Evidence of cruelty will heap pressure on the Government to accept demands for CCTV to be installed in all slaughterhouses. Such a move is backed by the FSA, more than 200 MPs and the BVA.
The filming was carried out last month by campaign group Animal Aid. Its spokesman Luke Steele said: ‘Our investigation has uncovered barbaric and deliberate cruelty being inflicted on animals, in horrific scenes unlike any we have ever seen before. ‘There is no doubt that law breaking continues to be an inherent problem in halal abattoirs.’
A spokesman said: ‘Based on our findings, and reviewing nearly 70 hours of video, we took immediate enforcement action against both the operator and individual plant staff, including the issue of Welfare Enforcement Notices and revocation of slaughterman certificates of competence.
Some places serve halal if it is requested. I will not eat at any place that serves halal as an option. Boycott all halal with our wallets.
Horrific and cruel!! I want this removed permanently from the west!!
SHUT THIS F ING PLACE DOWN!!
Those animals ARE TERRIFIED and I hate the Muslim ways more than ever!!
I do NOT want this shit ( them or their meat) in our country!!
SEB Take a look at some of the other stories/videos under Halal Slaughter.
Pictures of Halal slaughter …. should be on every package of Halal meat …. just like the diseased lungs …. on cigarette packs …. liberals know how to do this …. where’s PETA and their lab bombers ?
Why is that allowed? Treasonous governments! Despicable Horrendous barbaric Abuse!
Annemarie Hasemann – BECAUSE the Muslim’s are TAKING OVER!!
How did ALL non-Muslim countries meekly bend the knee to backward, inbred, cruel savages? Why did no-one have the guts to make these barbarians obey our laws?
A Scandinavian psychiatrist has said that we should have given immigrants a short leash and let it out gradually as they proved that they would adopt our way of life. Instead we showered them with everything the indigenous population had worked for.
I want to see soldiers and police officers behave like law enforcers, not social workers and agony aunts.
“I want to see soldiers and police officers behave like law enforcers, not social workers and agony aunts.”
Etti, the police in the Western European nations are about the biggest problem. They go after the good people with a vengeance and let the vile creatures run free. There simply has to be major changes in leadership all across the screwed up e u. Junker should be junked, to start with.
Amen to that, Don?
About thirty years ago I supported the campaign to stop British animals being sent abroad for ritual slaughter in Muslim countries. A young woman was run over and killed by a lorry as she bravely led a protest at the docks. Her Mum is still alive, having endured years of this sad loss.
(I was not able to get to the docks and back in a day; I had a sick relative who could not be left overnight. I did my bit through writing)
When Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Labour, were in power about ten years ago, the minister for food, Ben Bradshaw, announced that they had conducted research into halal meat and found it ‘extremely cruel but he would not ban it for the sake of community cohesion’.
The cruelty to animals that the Labour Party supports is shocking. I have watched these hypocrites. They promise to tackle the legal cruelty to animals to get votes. Once they are in power, Government approved cruelty to animals increases.
I have occasionally given my vote to a Labour candidate as they have given proof that they are fighting for the animals, but kindness is very rare among Socialists and Democrats. Kindness isn’t a word Communists understand.
Thirty years Etti, that’s great, you have been aware a lot longer than most of us here.
Doesn’t seem to have done much good, Don. All non-Muslim countries now have their own slaughterhouses firmly established and thriving, as you know. The Devils managed to slip this cruelty past us and keep the public in ignorance. Governments knew, of course. They wanted to help the poor old downtrodden Muslims make a good living in our infidel world as they could not do so in their own rat holes.
Thanks, as always, for your kindly encouragement.
Don, thirty years ago a small group of women hired a coach, went to Paris and filmed the Islamic slaughter of animals taking place in the fields surrounding the city. Children were present and the Muslims then cooked the meat for a large Eid picnic. No one stopped them.
Now we all have these atrocities here in our once civilised countries.
It’s a sick world Etti and izslime promoted by the socio/commies is about 99% of the ailment.
As a citizen of both the UK and the US, I have always been horrified by animal suffering especially the brutality of Halal and Kosher slaughter, where animals are killed without being stunned first. For years, UK slaughter houses have been bought up by Islamic businesses. It has been said, that all meat sold at the UK Olympics was Halal. Many are ignorant as to the suffering and brutality inflicted upon innocent animals, by this method of slaughter. Councils purchase Halal meat for children’s lunches, everyone gets the same, even though often not required for religious reasons, which is actually illegal. The labeling on packaged foods containing Halal meat is often so tiny nobody pays attention ,or bothers to read it; and even if they do, they often do not understand exactly what ‘Halal’ means , because it is not something they think about, or have witnessed. I talked to my Member of Parliament, but nothing changes, one is told to call a Government Department, called DEFRA they do nothing. Thousands if not millions of animals are shipped to Europe from the UK, and suffer in transit, packed together like sardines without, proper food, water, room m to move or rest, only to have their throats cut, when they arrive at their destinations. Where is the compassion? Usually, they are young lambs weighing less than my border-collie dog, because if they weigh more, farmers do not get as much money for them. They are not even allowed, to grow to be adult animals. The cries of the ewes is pitiful, and lasts for days when they are separated from their young. The French have UK farmers raise lamb, but require that it is slaughtered in France, so that it can be labeled ‘French’. The issues surrounding Animal Welfare, are many, yet nobody seems willing to challenge the powers that be. Australia ships thousands of lambs to Islamic countries, their fate is sealed as soon as they board the ships. A few years ago a ship sank and thousands of animals were lost at sea. Does anyone care? As long as money is made, nobody seems to give a fig, what happens to these living, breathing, creatures. And, we call ourselves human? Islam claims to be the religion of peace, how can that be? Peace cannot exist without compassion, when the two go hand in glove!
SW, educate yourself. Halal is not the same as Kosher which is why Jews won’t eat halal, but Muslims will eat kosher.
http://www.barenakedislam.com/2013/05/09/barbaric-halal-slaughter-vs-kosher-slaughter/
Definitely untrue. I brought some Jews around when they came over to my country and when they couldn’t find a kosher place, they ate at halal places saying that “it’s the same”. I was shocked. I didn’t think any Jew would associate themselves with subhuman savages.
Yon, I never said there weren’t a lot of ignorant Jews in the world.
Shirley Wold – DO NOT EAT LAMB!!
Don’t go near it with a ten foot pole!
Hit them in their pocket books by getting this out there for all to see!
I agree with everything you said.
“Romans 8:19 (NKJV) For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” ………Even the animals are longing for the ending of their suffering Shirley, thanks for your heart here…..
And yes please take BNIs comment seriously. There is no comparison between halal horror and kosher compassion.
There is always the temptation to call muzslime animals, but in all truth that is being derogatory to the animal kingdom. Muzslime are much lower than animals on the civilized world chain. They are horrible cruel creatures, that enjoy suffering, that is purely demonic. Cats will terrorize their prey sometime before killing it but for the most part carnivores simply kill to eat. Natural selection food chain world, but muzslime kill slowly and cruelly for the ugliest enjoyment they can experience. Muzslime are truly evil horrible THINGS!!!!!
Just another perversion of the Muslim Vermin Death Cult,digusting animal cruelty that is supposed to make the meat permissible in accord with the ravings of Islams no1 pervert Mohameed (May dog shit be upon him).And unfortunately my own country Australia participates in this cruelty by sending death ships loaded with live sheep and cattle to Muslim Vermin countries to suffer horrifically at the hands of Muslim perverts.I will give our former PM Julia Gillard credit for stopping this disgusting trade a few years ago when secret filming by Animals Australia (I am a member) exposed this cruel trade and she and her government were howled down by the big bucks$$ cattlemen and Tony Abbotts conservatives..so when Gillards Labor lost that election the first thing Abbott did was to restart this trade with a wink and a nod to the cattlemen and a bullshit spin campaign to say THERE WILL BE SAFEGUARDS TO STOP ANY CRUELTY….of course that was more Bullshit from the corrupt political class and swallowed whole by most of the compliant media…we live in a sick world run by Banksters/Gangsters and Media Slime…makes me ashamed to be a so called human being.
Yes shame on Britain – but today I was was in Walmart. They had lamb for sale, ALL of it “gala” certified ! None of it labeled that way or promoted as “Hala” certified”.
I spoke with the manager there & complained. I’ve seen “Hala” chicken for sale before, but it’s always labeled as such & there’s plenty of non-Hala chicken for others.
But today, all they had was “Hala certified” lamb. And worse yet it’s American lamb, which means our country is slaughtering sheep barbarically!!
Plus .. they did not promote it as “Hala certified ”
TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY !
WALMART IS PANDERING TO MUSLIMS !!!
Aprilyn, yes, there are a lot of halal slaughterhouses here.
@BareNakedIslam – Well I just complained to the Walmart store and to the corporate office!
I told them both that it is 1 thing to sell Hala meat (yes, I oppose the sale of it), but it’s another thing thing to not to,
1. Identify the meat as “Hala certified”
And …
2. Not provide “non-Hala” meat, for those who oppose either, the barbaric slaughter of the animals or for faith reasons the eating of this meat.
Good for you!
I agree with you. We need labeling for NON-HALAL.
Aprilyn, shame on Britain? Yes and all the other non-Muslim countries in the world.
Don’t use these pages to vent your anger against Britain. It’s childish.
Barbaric,filthy scum.
Yeah, it’s time deport them all.
It appears like this halal slaughter of animals is training for killing of non muslim kafirs. It is practically the same method of killing. Train young muslim boys to do halal slaughter of animals at the Eid festivals and they become trained to kill non muslims.
Nothing will happen, they are muslims and above British law, politicians don’t like to upset the muslims they may lose a few votes.
The same here Iceberg in Australia,the Labor Party and The Greens prostitute themselves to the Death Cult for their lousy votes and so does our Liberal Conservative Government to a large degree with our grub of a Prime Minister Turnball getting on his hands and knees at every opportunity to call Islam the religion of Peace and pander to Islamic Swill.These weak traitorous politicians are leading the West to ruin and civil war.
Well, surprise, surprise! How could this ever happen?!
As I’ve said before, some people just learn very slowly….
Ever hear Peta complain about how these savages slaughter animals? I never have.Why is this even allowed in any civilized society. Is this allowed here in America? I would hope not but I fear its happening in some places. This is something President Trump should ban outright. Only savages enjoy watching animals suffer.
