Non stunned slaughter labels

Non stun slaughter is legal in the UK for the consumption of the Jewish and Muslim faiths.
About 80% halal is stunned, none of shechita is.
A recent development is the reversible stun, one that renders the animal unconscious but if the animal isn’t bled can recover. This is being use in New Zealand for all of their Halal meat export.
A key part of both faith’s rules on slaughter is that death has to be by bleeding and the animal must be undamaged. As a captive bolt damages the skull its use cannot be accepted. However a head only electrical stun causes no damage so has been accepted many.
Historically a swift, massive severance of the carotid and jugular vessels was probably more humane than poleaxe and bleed. Percussive and electrical stuns should now be used in all cases.
A concern with kosher rules is that the hind quarters must have the sciatic nerve removed, the Gid Hannah. This increases the cost, and is sold into the general market, which is not right.
A concern with some stunning is that it is not very good. Most pigs are gassed by Carbon Dioxide, which is unpleasant and has been recommended to be banned. Many chickens are not stunned properly. The common factor being the profit motive and line speed.
 
He thinks I'm a raving rightwing reactionary, and I think the man's a prick too. Regardless of the fact that he occasionally says something sensible.
It's not clear whether you're referring to me or Mr Lowe in this post 🤔

Even I agree with you ...although I am less interested in his social media than you.
I'm not particularly interested in his social media either, but thanks to the algorithm I got bombarded with his demented outpourings after I responded to an article that appeared in the Lowestoft Journal.
I think I've been blocked now.
 
It was his own the story goes around. Which to me shows a lack of quality of a man. Not a man should have had his dog shot but that he wouldn't do it himself.
The story goes around you say 🤔
But the vet injects your dog for you and that's fine.
Don't the hunts shoot there dogs and didn't or do the RSPCA
I'm not look for a squabble just a bit of protective
As @ Buchan say 80% are stunned that still leaves 20% fully conscious.

Apologies. VSS thinks I'm a raving rightwing reactionary, and I think Lowe's a prick too. Regardless of the fact that he occasionally says something sensible.
