Starting next year, unanaesthetised slaughter of animals in temporary abattoirs will be prohibited, according to Flemish Minister of Animal Welfare Ben Weyts (Flemish Nationalist). The temporary abattoirs will still be allowed for the upcoming Eid-al Adha (Festival of the Sacrifice), as a “sudden ban could lead to chaos” Belgium is well on its way to becoming the 7th European Country to ban religious slaughter. This puts us to shame, as we once led the way in animal welfare. We need to keep the pressure on our government and make them do the same; the British people love animals, and even meat eaters want to know an animal has had a quick death. Thoughts?
