Ok, I'll bite. As long as it's not PETA
Show me where to look at the RSPCA and other reputable sites.
Do you use your local butcher?

This is pathetic even for a racism sniffer like you. That a long term activist for animal rights is concerned about animal rights can't be true. It must be the crude stereotypical racism of your imagination. Only possible answer.
I'm tarannau - there's nothing you're doing right. I can do it better than you.
The nearest butchers to me has stairs round the back leading to a hairdressers. The stairs are full of maggots so I certainly wouldn't buy meat from there. There's also a van in the market but I don't fancy buying meat from a van either. I'll stick to Sainsburys thanks.

They all continue to argue eh. http://www.mcb.org.uk/media/presstext.php?ann_id=97
Never anything definitive.
And in the meantime and because there's not a cosy local excellent abbattoir, I'm not convinced that halal/kosher is worse than other methods.

I don't _use_ my local butcher. We engage in a mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services.

I wouldn't describe any abbatoir as 'cosy'

True. None of em are. But some regional ones might be cosy compared to others, inner city ones.

If it's a choice between a small halal/kosher butcher and a massive abbatoir then I'd say the lack of stunning is probably the lesser 'evil but like for like (if you like) I'd say that stunning has got to be more humane

Yeh, in a way. But when you talk to blokes that do stunning and slaughtering day in and day out, it that ain't clearcut. Fuckloads of stressed animals herded in and stunned where the the stun often doesn't work in those volumes v ritualised one on one slaughter. Its hard to say which is worse unless you've stood there and watched it. Then eaten the results.

That's why I compare like for like. At small abbatoirs there's no 'herding in'. Our lot trot out of the trailer, straight into the pen and 'bam'. If they were stressed they wouldn't just trot into the pen.

I'm also guessing that your local abbatoir doesn't need to have separate facilties for different methods of slaughter?

I wouldn't know.

That's the point tho innit. Big volume city shit differs from regional practices. But you know that, tis obvious. But whether you're city dweller or out on the regions, I reckon it's good to take a trip to where your food's being slaughtered and look at it - rather than relying on loads of fucking websites with their agendas. Look at what you're eating if you're even mildly inclined to get a huff about how it gets to you

Yeah, I fully agree and I have. I still wouldn't know if they have to have separate areas for different types of slaughter though. I don't know how many types of slaughter there are within one abbatoirThat's the point tho innit. Big volume city shit differs from regional practices. But you know that, tis obvious.

Can if you want. They only kill on a Monday though and butchery is going to be on a Sunday

Yeah, you have clue
You have more of a clue than me cos you're partially in the business of raising and killing livestock for gain. I do none of that. I'd rather rely on personal trips to big abbatoirs & personl accounts of slaughterhousemen than the RSPCA charity propoganda though.
