The use of Halal slaughter causes the animal unnecessary stress and pain and should be banned under The cruelty to animals act 1876
Brain signals have shown that calves do appear to feel pain when slaughtered according to Jewish and Muslim religious law, strengthening the case for adapting the practices to make them more humane.
