Legally restrict the use of religious slaughter to match proven religious need
Introduce a framework, similar to that in Germany, see House of Commons Library SN07108SES dated 18/02/2015. Germany requires licensing and the matching of volumes produced to actual needs for religious slaughtered products.Britain has no such defined requirement for monitoring or enforcement
The public believes that unless it is labelled as halal or kosher, the meat and meat products they buy and eat will have been slaughtered by the default method in the UK e.g. captive bolt, full stun. The use of recoverable, or non stun slaughter is offensive to many on grounds of animal welfare as noted by the British Veterinary Association, RSPCA and many other groups as well as being against the religious rights of other orthordox groups such as some Sikh, Hindu, Buddist and Christian groups
