Now they'll have to tell us if we're eating halal: Ministers prepare to change law Ministers are preparing to change the law to ensure that meat slaughtered in accordance with strict Islamic law cannot be sold to unwitting members of the public. The Government is drawing up plans to prevent schools, hospitals, pubs and famous sporting venues from serving halal meat secretly to customers. The move will be welcomed by animal rights campaigners, who argue that the traditional Islamic way of preparing meat – which involves killing animals by drawing a knife across their throats without stunning them first – is cruel and causes unnecessary pain.

"MPs were furious to discover halal meat had even been sold in House of Commons canteens without them knowing."
Were they, indeed. So that's what it takes....

Well quite - it was all right for the great unwashed, but once it affected them... Still, I don't suppose our bacon, pork roasts & other piggy delights will be affected ;D

I try my best not to eat Halal meat. As stated Morrisons are the only one of the big supermarkets who's fresh meat is not Halal, some of it's frozen is, but is clearly stated. I met my youngest in town last week, he wanted a Subway, i had tuna for the same reason. KFC is a definite no no as well, not only does it support halal meat, it is crap to boot imo.

The word that springs to mind with KFC is 'boaking'

the thought of eating at mc donalds or KSC is revolting even my grandsons shy a way from those places the meat we eat all comes from a local butchers or one or two farm shops we know of where they slaughter their own beasts but when saying meat is halal because its slaughtered a certain way doesnt really count if the cleric hasnt mumbled over it but i am glad this directive is to be undertaken

I don't have problems with eating meat, as long as the beasts have been killed humanely - frankly, being strung up by your ankles then having your throat slit, so that you bleed to death, is NOT, in my opinion, humane... Many years ago I visited a poultry farm in Brazil - I was involved in carrying frozen chickens from there to the Persian Gulf. All done according to islamic rite, of course - 6 weeks from hatching to being killed as above - you could sense the terror in those creatures as they were hung up on a conveyor belt before meeting the knife... I try to avoid 'Sadia' brand in particular, but halal chicken in general, after that

Is the reason they ended the trial because they were losing customers?
