"While the petition in question makes no reference to Halal or Kosher slaughter, it has been welcomed in right-wing echo chambers as an opportunity to marginalise and discriminate against the Muslim and Jewish communities."

So basically Muslims can do whatever they want and if you have any questions and criticism you are a racist.

They can continue to ‘other’ us but here’s the rub: By doing so, they are othering themselves and when the pendulum swings, it will swing all the harder.

Halal and Kosher slaughter is inhumane.

Fully agree. Ban halal and ban imported halal.

A cruel, disgusting practice that should have no place in modern Britain.

Right wing echo chamber of animal sympathisers?

Muslims and Jews working together against the White majority, a tale as old as time.

The economic argument is shit. Would we have bullfighting if it brought in a bit of money, would we start eating cats and dogs if it made us a bit richer?

It has nothing to do with marginalisation of Muslims or Jews! It’s do with the cruelty inflicted on the animals during slaughter…nothing else. Stop trying to make the issue about the people. It’s about animal cruelty and that cannot be tolerated because of specific religions.

Always the same rhetoric. That's all they have. Shameful

Esther McVey calls for clearer labelling of halal and kosher meats in the UK She argued that consumers concerned about animal welfare particularly where pre‑stunning isn’t used - (88% of halal meat in the UK is pre-stunned) Transcript: “I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to introduce compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat and products containing halal and kosher meat; and for connected purposes. This is a Bill about animal welfare, transparency in meat production and consumer choice. It does not seek to ban halal or kosher meat. It seeks to ensure that it is clearly labelled. It is important that consumers have such information so that they can make an informed choice about what they are buying. Currently consumers do not have that information, and many are purchasing and consuming halal and kosher meat without their knowledge and agreement. The unique process of halal and kosher meat requires the animal to have its throat slit. In the case of halal meat, the animal is often stunned before it is killed — although it might not be — and for the shechita killing for kosher meat, there is no pre‑stunning. This lack of stunning causes the animal to experience severe pain. An individual concerned about animal welfare would want to know if the animal has been stunned prior to slaughter. Likewise, there are many religious groups who want to know what they are consuming too and whether the meat has been blessed by another religion. In all those cases clear labelling is essential to make an informed choice. Currently, the legislation that regulates animal slaughter is set out in assimilated EU regulation 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing, as well as in the Welfare of Animals at the Time of Killing (England) Regulations 2015. Under these laws, animals must be stunned before they are killed, but exemptions exist for killing without stunning in accordance with specific religious rites. Added to that, there are currently no requirements for such meat to be labelled. What was once an exemption to the accepted stunning process of animals has become a growing part of the UK’s meat market. The Government’s own figures show that of the 1.035 billion animals processed in English and Welsh slaughterhouses in 2024, an estimated 214.6 million were slaughtered to produce halal meat. The analysis shows that the proportion of meat supplied by non‑stun slaughter is about four times greater than the proportion of Muslims and Jews in the UK. Although Government guidance is clear that meat that results from non‑stun slaughter “must be intended for consumption by Jews or Muslims”, production is clearly going way beyond that, so much so that the UK now exports halal meat. Between 2018 and 2019, there was an almost 700 % increase in the volume of sheep meat exported to the United Arab Emirates, all of which is required to be halal. Clearly, without compulsory labelling of non‑stunned meat, slaughterhouses have gone down the route of producing more of it. In effect, a two‑tier system has been created, whereby some slaughterhouses comply with stunning laws and others do not, citing the religious exemption, though without ever intending to focus their sale on that market. Unfortunately, a driver of the market for non‑stunned meat is the fact that a step of the process is removed, meaning that production of non‑stunned meat is cheaper. Supermarkets and food outlets can purchase that cheaper meat without ever declaring it to the customer, which is not what was intended by the legislation. We have seen many examples of this over the last 15 years; Britain’s biggest retailers — such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Asda — have sold halal or kosher meat without informing the consumer, as have Domino’s, Pizza Hut and KFC. Non‑stunned produce is being used by 17 local councils in schools, the majority of which are not Islamic faith schools, without parents or children having the first idea about it. It is also being served in hospitals and local councils. In December, Labour put forward its much‑vaunted animal welfare strategy, a document lauded for its aim of “preventing animals suffering unnecessarily”, which included the banning of boiling live lobsters, banning the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs, and steps to ensure the more humane slaughter of farmed fish. I was surprised and alarmed to see no mention of the more humane slaughter of animals and the labelling of halal and kosher meat. There was a clear opportunity to call for the labelling of halal and kosher meat, but it was missed. Nowhere in Labour’s 12,500‑word animal welfare strategy was it mentioned. We often hear in the House that the UK holds the status of a world leader in animal welfare, but such a glaring gap shows that this country can no longer make such a claim. Food and You 2, which is a biannual official statistic survey commissioned by the Food Standards Agency, found that the most common spontaneously expressed food concern in 2024 was “food production method”. In August 2022, almost 99 % of respondents to the Government’s call for evidence on labelling for animal welfare said that method‑of‑slaughter labelling should be introduced. In research from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, 92 % of halal consumers state that clear halal certification is important, so is it not time we updated our regulations and demanded that our meat was clearly and fully labelled, so that we know what we are buying and eating? Surely that is what consumer choice is all about, and I would wager that the overwhelming majority of animal lovers in the UK expect the House of Commons to support this Bill today. This Bill will give all consumers assurance that they know how their meat was produced. I urge all Members of the House to support this measure.”
