"In modern society, we believe more consideration needs to be given to animal welfare and how livestock is treated and culled.
We believe non-stun slaughter is barbaric and doesn't fit in with our culture and modern-day values and should be banned, as some EU nations have done."
Parliament will debate this petition on 9 June 2025. https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Commons
This is a disgrace, has no place in our country, it must be banned.
Any MP that thinks different should say why they support cruelty to animals.
I shall watch this debate. We will see which MPs have a backbone and which are spineless.
@Paul Which mainly concerns you?
Animal welfare in general or simply at the point of slaughter?
Or Jewish and Muslim practice of eating the flesh of animals that aren't stunned prior to slaughter?
@Steve It'll be going on in this country because it's profitable.
The RSPCA turn a blind eye to cruelty against animals every single day of the year from farming to horse racing. What makes anyone think they'd intervene in the halal slaughter of animals?
