Also A question:

Would they mass produce Halal meat? Would they find the time to Accurately slit the throat of every cow and chant a prayer of each one?

Or is it more of a private thing?

OR would they chant a prayer over all the produce before it is sent to the super markets to save time?


Feeling like a Boss when you get the last word.

I used to live right by a muslim neighborhood, and there was a store, and it had massproduced halal meat, wrapped in plastic containers and sold just like regular meat (not sure about the price, but it would seem that selling normal meat as halal meat for a bigger price would be profitable). Now, the question is, exactly how halal is the meat you're buying? Seems like just another religious safety-illusion to me.

As for 'how halal' meat is, that is a good question. I would gather that like everything it varies, I am sure the halal meat in Saudi is 'more halal' than that in the UK.

Where I live at least, halal meat and regular meat cost the same. I guess the cost of prayer is approximately the cost of 40 thousand volts.

Cute

EDIT: Coincidently I posted this from Gurman.

You usually also get a nice idea of what the video says by reading through a thread (which I did, post by post, woe is me). I don't make a habit out of arguing confirmed facts, so.

All the arguments in this thread saying "what's the point of inflicting less pain if we can't remove it completely" are stupid. There's a reason why there's regulation for how livestock is supposed to be killed, and there is punishment for breaking those laws. Torture is torture, whether the inflicted is human or not. It's especially gruesome if it can be avoided. You don't have to be a "bleeding-heart liberal" to think that way.
