Oh, it was a comparison video of a 'stun gun' and a 'halal' execution of a cow. The latter struggled and writhed with blood gushing everywhere for a few minutes. Wasn't nice to see so you can take my word for it. *hugs*
I read an article about a sociopath a short while ago and he stated the same thing during his interviews, regarding his cruelty to animals. :nervous:
(Although I'm quite sure that you are not one
Was it from a film called Earthlings?
I think all people should watch this... It's one of the few films I had to turn off.
Unofficial Trailer - It may make some people uncomfortable
The Kosher section of Earthlings is completely rank. It shows a cow spraying blood everywhere, writhing in distress. It also shows a pig being mutilated, lame chickens ect
People can watch it on Youtube.
What, on this thread? I haven't seen it.
I find it remarkable that we've got to three pages on the subject of eating animals without it descending into the usual overly-emotional name calling!
I mean in general, sorry. Not pointing any fingers at people on thesite.
And so far Stargalaxy hasn't used the word c*nt.
That's unfair. We're bashing Jews as well.
Nah, I know what you mean. There seem to be a wave of people who appear to be particularly concerned with halal slaughter methods who have never shown any interest in animal welfare until the subject turned to a particular muslim practice. However, I don't think you can include me (or anyone who's contributed to this thread) in that group. I'm pretty sure I've started threads on animal welfare on this site before, or at least participated in them. What you can accuse me of, however, is using animal welfare issues to bash religious privilege in our society. But then I make no apology for that.
It's messy but it's over and done with pretty quick.
And the difference in taste is remarkable.
They don't get much fresher than home killed.
Slightly more on topic, I definitely think at the least this meat should be labelled as such. I agree with I'm With Stupid that it makes no sense for this method of killing to be allowed because of someone's superstition.
Apparently draining the blood prevents infection (really?), but this could easily be done immediately after a bolt to the head, or electric shock or whatever.
Game isn't usually bled though.
The reason western style meat is bled is from the old Christian days of blood being sacred in the Bible and therefore banned for consumption ...not to be taken ...eaten etc.
