Ban Halal slaughter and Halal meat in the UK
Halal is the slaughter of animals, in accordance with religious dogma, by slitting the throat of a conscious animal and allowing it to bleed to death.
This practise, and any resulting sales, should be banned immediately. It is barbaric and cruel, and allowing it to perpetuate is pandering to ideology simply because it has religious significance.
This is not a racist petition, and I have no time for people who would seek to justify support of this petition in such terms. This is not about race in any shape or form, it is about religious ideology which is (often insidiously) being forced upon those without such convictions, and, more importantly, about protecting animals from unnecessary cruelty .
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
