Phew!
I was really worried that was going to be a deliberate wounding so it could be bled whilst still alive. I always thought that was a prerequisite for it to be Halal, throat cut on a live animal.
I can live with how that was done though.
There is a difference between Halal slaughter and Halal hunting...
In the first film Mo demonstrates how the deer Gordon shot would be bled out in order to make it Halal.
The second part of the film shows Gordon using venison shot previously by Mo to make the Masala
As long as the hunter says "Bismillah" (in the name of God) as the trigger is pulled, it counts as Halal.
Mumbling an incantation over an animal to appease an imaginary desert god. IMHO, more confirmation of how irrational religion is...still, it takes all sorts. All the Abrahamic faiths have participated in animal sacrifice/ritual offerings at one stage or another. Different people motivated by different things.
That's something entirely different... I'm not sure what your point is other than to stir up a debate?[/QUOTE
You initiated a thread discussing halal food practices and made reference to Bismillah (In the name of god). I think my post is relevant in this context. You are free to disagree. The discussion of politics is not usually tolerated on the SD. Perhaps this should apply to discussions of religion and religious practices too. Somebody is always bound to be offended. Your thoughts?
I have been out with mo and he a sound guy who loves his deer stalking. But i do feel that saying a pray before you pull the trigger might not be the best idea lol. Nice to see you getting involved with the politics Mo enjoyed the video and your gloves are still here.
The prayer:
For what this bunch is about to munch and crunch, may the lord make us truly thankful .
Amen.
Used it on a few occasions goes down a treat .

I did no such thing.... I posted a youtube link of a good friend stalking deer with Gordon Ramsay, knowing that he's a modest chap and probably wouldn't have posted it himself. Yes I did make reference to Bismillah but only to clear up the mis-conception that the animal needs to be alive when it's bled out to be Halal.
I don't want an argument or to incite any racial or religious discussion, that was never the point of this thread.
Who's been offended? I certainly have not.... I've had the pleasure of stalking with Mo on several occasions and it's no different than stalking with anyone else. It has nothing to do with ritual killing or sacrifice, more to do with respect for the animal which most of us do in our own way.
^^^ blah blah,
i have a Muslim buddy who wasn't keen to have venison off me because of halal reasons, I'm gonna show him this vid, say bismillah and all should be good for him
