Recognise Non-stun slaughter as expression of religious freedom in UK
Parliment is debating soon on a ban of non stun slaughter but as its a free country and UK goverment respect all faith so Muslims and Jews who live in UK want a recognision Non-stun slaughter as expression of religious freedom.
A small percentage of Halal slaughter is non-stunned here in the UK and all Shechita (Jewish) slaughter is non-stunned and All non-stunned Halal slaughter in the UK and EU is carried out humanely, in fully licensed and regulated slaughterhouses, adhering strictly to animal welfare laws. These practices take place in the same controlled environments and under the same rigorous standards as conventional slaughter, ensuring the highest level of care and dignity for the animals at every stage.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
On 9 June 2025, the Government Minister for Food Security and Rural Affairs stated that:
"The Government respects the right of Jews and Muslims to eat meat prepared in accordance with their beliefs. We therefore intend to continue to allow the religious slaughter of animals for consumption by Muslims and Jews."
