HALAL AND KOSHER MEAT MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED IN IRELAND.

THAT INCLUDES THE SALE AND SLAUGHTER.

IT CONDONES CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE Irish PUBLIC.

IT IS OFFENSIVE TO EVERY person LIVING IN THE Ireland AND IT IS MORALY WRONG IN OUR CIVILIZATION. ALL LIFE IS SACRED AND FIGHTS TO LIVE, IF IT MUST BE KILLED IT MUST BE DONE AS HUMANLY AS POSSIBLE.

Irish people are against halal and kosher slaughter. Under Irish Law, animals must be stunned before slaughter, and not killed in full view of other animals. It is distressing to animals morally wrong and unnecessarily cruel. Halal and kosher slaughter is a barbaric way to slaughter an animal. Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and the Netherlands have banned halal slaughter, and as an animal loving nation, we are insisting the same happens in Ireland . We are angry at the Government and food industry for pandering to the MINORITY group that want halal and kosher foods, and we stand up and set an example that the halal and kosher slaughter method is wrong. It is completely unnecessary because the people who eat this food can say a prayer over the food which enables them to eat it. We insist all animals are stunned prior to slaughter. The Danish PM said animal rights have to come above religious rights, and we believe that in the year 2017, this is true. As well as the cruelty, Christians and Sikhs are forbidden to eat halal and kosher and since it is unlabelled, our religious rights are being violated thay are also not aloud to work on or touch the meat which is discrimination and would put Irish butchers out of business. We therefore insist that all animals are stunned prior to slaughter, and that all halal and kosher foods are banned in this country.
