Halal Choices

[nero_bolt]

Halal Choices..... are you concerned with the halal slaughter of animals such as beef, lamb and poultry.

To be halal certified the animal must be facing Mecca, have its throat cut while still alive and then ritually sacrificed by a Muslim who recites a prayer dedicating the slaughter to Allah.

Because the animals must be slaughtered alive, stun guns are often not an option as they can kill an animal before the heart pumps out all the blood.

Do you read the lables to see whats HALAL or not HALAL  Do you purchase HALAL products or not?

Interesting youtube    https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mSP47FAtn6U  

The presenter is Kirralie Smith, an average Aussie housewife, who does the weekly grocery shopping. 

Ms Smith became aware, then alarmed, about the Islamic halal certification on so many of her shopping list items. She looked for a list of halal certified foods so she could make informed choices about what to buy and what to avoid.

There was no such list, yet so many supermarket products were stamped 'halal certified'.

Ms Smith started to do her own investigation, calling supermarket chains, grocery producers - even the halal certifiers - all so she could be better informed when she went to do her shopping.

She has personally contacted over 500 companies to determine their halal certification status.

What she discovered was bigger than big. 

Kirralie Smith is the founder and director of HalalChoices. Kirralie holds a BA in Theology and lives with her family in coastal New South Wales. What started as an attempt to put together a shopping list for her family led to two years of research into halal certification schemes in Australia; as well as our most comprehensive resource concerning these tax-like schemes now imposed on the majority of our food products.

So this is aimed at me and nero. What are you getting at, what is your agenda?  this is about halal killing not live exports.

 Every time you respond you make it personal, just what is  your problem other than you  dont like my politics or nero’s either  by you response.

If your concern with halal products is purely idealogical then there is no connection - if it is a concern for the possible cruelty invlved in halal slaughter then the two are inextricably linked, because most  -if not all -of  the countries to which we export our  sheep and cattle do practise halal slaughter, often under  very primitive conditions.

I asked because I suspect  (though I hope I am wrong) that you believe the anti-live trade campaign to be  merely left wing hysteria which could  ruin our economy,  yet If your concerns regarding  halal slaughter are really to do with  the welfare of the animals involved, then  I don't see how you can be against one but not the other.

Funding Jewish churches is very different to halal funding terrorist organizations.

Then clearly I misunderstood you. I assumed when you asked "What are you getting at, what is your agenda"?  that you wanted an answer.

Jews are not extremist. State of Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East.
