Alba Crown Halal Scottish Venison

Who's behind this, punting venison to the Middle Eastern market, saying it's "Wild.Pure.Halal"?

Edited the rest. Think the above says it all

What's the problem?
If there's a market for it, then sell it.
As far as I'm aware, wild venison can be produced to halal standards, so all good.

So, no only do you need to find a safe shot, but the animal has to be facing the east and you say a prayer at the same time as pulling the trigger?

Talk about making life much harder!!

I know of at least one person that is certified to produce Halal Venison in England.

Agreed.

It must be my misunderstanding, as to how it can be both truly wild and halal ? Perhaps I shall educate myself better on what qualifies as halal. Or perhaps it's what qualifies as "wild".
No issue with venison seeing market.

Halal requires the animal to be healthy at the time of death (so the pre-shot assessment that all stalkers make before pulling the trigger ticks that box), must die by bleeding (chest shot ticks that box), and must be killed by a "man of the book", in other words a practicing religious person. (@Ratel could do it. He goes to church regularly I believe. That's about all it takes).
If there are any words that need to be muttered, I do not know them.

Halal slaughter, done properly, is very high welfare. But there are a lot of misconceptions floating about.

I say a prayer every time I pull the trigger

In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest, are the words to be muttered, also a longer version if time allows.

What do you think of non stun slaughter VSS - is it Kosher that is not stunned and a small portion of Halal ?

Maybe the game dealer would give you £2/kg if you were able to write "halal" on your carcass tags.

I'm just gralloching a deer at the moment, but I'll reply about the stun issue a bit later, if you're interested?

Yes - that would be great
Thanks

Used to supply a neighbour with venison who checked with his mother that hunted meat is halal.

It doesn’t need anything special done , it meets the requirements by being wild and hunted .

Nope

I briefly and with much post-purchase regret owned a cheap Spanish over and under like that once.

Well the first three words of a prayer were often heard being said by me.....OH JESUS CHRIST...

So all venison outwith farm/park is halal

No, not all. But a lot of it could be, without any significant changes in method, which would open the door to a whole new market.
