Ritual slaughter *WARNING SCENES OF ANIMAL SLAUGHTER*

[General-Lee]

Come across this video on YouTube and thought I’d watch it, having watched previous videos on here and been almost sickened by the process. I was interested to see how it was carried out, it was only one animal but it appeared calm and controlled.

Now there’s people out there more clued up on how things are done, didn’t appear to be anyone praying over it or anything else and whether that attributed to the calm and clinical-ness?

I don’t like the idea of animals not being pre stunned but that seemed very humane.

Can’t stand seeing them turned upside down

No I know but the animal was well contained, isn’t much difference to a foot trimming crush?

No they are well held to prevent thrashing, foot trimming crush will only turn them on their sides not fully upside down

It looks calm because it's immobile still not acceptable !!

It still doesn’t sit well for me either but if our livestock are going to be killed in this fashion it needs to be done calmly and humanely.

*just for the record I have no hidden agendas, motives...just a simple farmer!

Non stun slaughter is unacceptable. No matter how clean and clinical a process it is inhumane. Our culture in the UK has always been to stun, previously with a pole axe.

Must be huge amounts of people sending animals that they know will be slaughtered this way.i know a few who refuses to do this which I admire and a near neighbor won’t supply Tesco with lambs as they apparently get taken all the way to wales to get killed then bought up this way again

There's nothing wrong with that, the largest beef abattoirs in America use this method for Kosher. Its a hell of a lot less cruel then farmers sending cattle cramped into wagons deprived of food and water, to abattoirs hundreds of miles away because they pay a few pence per kilo more than the local abattoirs.

Saying that every livestock mart in the land was up to its eyeballs with livestock last week, where farmers were eager to supply the halal abattoirs for the festival. We had 2 drivers on our wagons just to keep up.

I have posted before about watching a documentary on an abattoir in the North West that had separate days for halal and kosher killing.
What struck me was how much calmer the animals seemed than on the conventional killing days, which were awful.

Never been able to find the documentary again, but I suspect like most things, ritual slaughter done well is OK,but how much of it is done well?

You sound like a broken record

I think this might be a time lapsed promotional video.
I’ve spent plenty of time in abbtoirs in 3 different countries. Can’t recall one like that, so nice, so clean, so peaceful. The rotational gizmo with the elevator music covering the panic is all simply illusion.
Non stun is simply immoral and pandering to an irrational religious belief. It’s all quite simple there is faith and there is science. They never seem to reconcile.
Plenty of previous threads on this.

Think you’ve hit the nail on the head....they’ve made this video look the idillic halal slaughtering method when in reality it will be 10x faster and 10x more brutal

I state the facts whereas you sit in your daddies farm and think halal is immoral whilst selling ewes and lambs into Darlington where all the major halal buyers operate. If you don't like it send them to ABP direct.

You’re a complete patronising bell end

I state what I see at abattoirs on a weekly basis which are highly regulated, you draw your conclusions from a crystal ball, you know as much about slaughter practices as I do about dairy farming.

 

[Hummin-Cummins]

Its a promotional video so its no surprise its all staged trying to show the “perfect” slaughter but rest assured there’s no fooling the majority of what non pre stun slaughter is like in comparison to the pre stun we’d all sooner like to see!

You know nothing about me so stop being a smart arse

After watching that probably means we will keep our old faithful stock bull on farm

Id just as well stop eating meat than consider that acceptable.
