This will be the seventh European country to ban halal and kosher slaughter. Why does our government not listen to the outcry against this cruel method of killing? The Danish PM said, when he banned it in 2015, that animal welfare should come before religious rights, and he is totally right. We need to keep the pressure on to get it banned in the UK. Its already banned in Parliament and the House of Lords, as they 'find it offensive', it has to be specially ordered in if MPs or Lords want it. So why is it foisted unlabelled on us? Its illegal for a start off, if you look at the link on my petition, you will see on the gov site that it is only intended for consumption by muslims or jews.
