Halal is simply a means by which those who practice that faith can make sure the foods they buy (and eat) complies with the requirement of their faith.

 

Now we have something like 100 million or so Muslims to our immediate north. So, I for one will not criticise any Australian Company which decides to have its food products certified Halal, so it can sell in a market which is 20 time or bigger than the local one. I would have thought this was just plain good business

 

As for animal cruelty, we have laws governing same, and religious law, all religious laws are subservient to it. Therefore if someone is attempting to introduce slaughter practices which breach those laws the answer is simple – close down the business and prosecute the owners.

where i work we need halal certification to export to USA, Japan amongst other places

LOL well derrrrr

 

The point is the chicken halal is 50c more than the beef, yet chicken, as a rule, is alot cheaper than beef.

on a whole it is. but i have never seen a chicken snag cheeper than a beef one.

beef produces lots of trimmings, where as a chicken doesn't. needing to use a higher quality of meat to make chicken snags. most likely thigh and leg meat

 That is a good point Mr Grizz, I tend to agree with you on that one 🙂

 

I stand corrected...

Think about what? That was just a quick example I found to prove the point that it's not only a halal label that is paid for. It does not mean that I support the article or anything

What are you trying to say?

see just up there^^^^^^^

a 250kg body of beef might produce 50 kg trimmings used for mince and snags.

chicken produces almost no trimmings, so premium cuts are needed to be used to make the snag.

 

the price difference is not due to halal

who am I supposed to be supporting?. I am saying it is not specific to one religion

 

 

why do you only complain about one?  MrGrizz knows more than me, but I think Halal and kosher are very similar

Halal and kosher are not similar.

 

Halal funds go to terrorism, kosher funds go to Jewish churches.

Halal certification has nothing to do with terrorism, that is, unless you hold the view, like some here, that Muslims = Terrorist.

 

 

I think you have really summed up what's going on here TB

 

 

personally I'm in total disagreement for what I see as the inhumane slaughter of animals in the name of religion. For me, it's a difficult thing to make any sense of, but it's one of those things that we have to live with, much as i actiively support banning live animal export
