Agreed. I can not believe the rules in this country to protect people and animals, but if you say you're doing something and you're religious, you can get away with stupidity and cruelty, as highlighted by DJKQ above.

But hey, smart fellas who can wear turbans instead of motorcycle helmets. If you land on a soft pillow thing (turban) you may survive better than if you're head's in a helmet as the hardeness is on the outside, which is the wrong way round.


But, back to topic, I can not believe how halal is allowed to be sold. It IS cruel and yet we pander to this religious nonsense in case we upset people. Pahhhh.

Catch a Condor by simply building a wooden stockade 1 metre high and 50 metres in diametre, and placing a dead goat in the centre. The bird will land inside the stockade to feed on the goat but will then be unable to get out. This is because Condors require a run-up of at least 100 metres before they can gain the momentum necessary for take off.

ps

This is the most humane way to catch Condors.

I am totally confused now JQKD


Are you implying that we now take the animals religion into account when we slaughter it ?


Halal Chickens

Hindu Cows

Coy Carp

Church of England Steak and Kidney pies

and my favourite

Pigs that are Jewish (that must get confusing for them - do they put their Koppel's on before or after they visit the abbatiour ?)


It sounds more like a script from Monty and his flying python (or similar)

Yes, I attend the Church of the Poison Mind at least once a year and without fail every 6 months I take a bath (regardless if I need it or not)



Have I missed something? By strict rules, do you mean the conditions in which most battery-farmed chickens are held and slaughtered for example?


I'm not making any claims on behalf of kosher or halal slaughtering, and certainly not on the grounds of religious beliefs do I think inhumane practice should be excused, but this country has a long way to go before it can claim humane slaughter across the board

By slaughter I mean just that. We have rules designed to make it supposedly quick and painless (which are a far cry from cutting an animals throat and leaving it to hang and bleed to death). As the for the way we farm and keep some animals that's a whole different matter and one I agree is often anything but humane.

I think official tolerance of ritual Kosher and Halal slaughter may be a matter of economic prudence (as much as anything else - such as anti-discriminatory) because a significant number of jobs depend on those markets. Britain now exports a fair volume of ritually slaughtered meat and poultry ? mainly Halal ? to Europe and the Middle East.


If ritual slaughter were banned that entire industry sector would collapse. In which case, practicing Jews and Muslims would be more likely to import their requirements rather than become vegetarians.

    • No, we'd have to be in a police state.  You'd have to get this made law.  Unless it is in Reform's policies.  I'll check. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/live-facial-recognition-technology-to-catch-high-harm-offenders Not government policy
    • There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept." What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day? For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄
    • Not quite the same, but I  was always bemused by the name of Streatham Common Station, which is a lot further away from the common than Streatham Station is. I recently found out that when it was first built it was called Greyhound Lane Station, and then with various changes of road names etc  over the years became Streatham Common Station. Which still doesn't explain it, but is quite interesting (I think, anyway!).
    • Thanks, I'll try. I don't think I'm near to renewal, but they may do something as I've been with them for so long, if I say I'll look elsewhere at renewal if they don't!  What difference does the line speed make? Does it affect the signal at various points through the house? When I changed to fibre, the guy who installed it really resisted having the router where it had been before, at the back of the house,  presumably because it would have been a lot more work for him having to run wires through, over doors etc? At the time I was working at the front as my office at the back had become so dark (adjacent loft extension) so I wasn't too bothered, but I've since moved back. I've got those plug in extension things, but the WiFi at the back is now sometimes quite iffy, particularly the printer, which is annoying.
