I will never get that 4.24 back will I?

Segregated in their own country laugh.png Why didn't they just pop off and go to McDonalds, too stupid I guess.

I went to an Indian restaurant in the UK the other day and asked for beans on toast, in my union jack braces and hankerchief head covering, whippet, ferret and dancing pigeon, they politely refused.

lol @ the reply but...

I do think that is the point.

Halal meat is slowing becoming the norm in western countries for everyone not just muslims, it's a major step to becoming Isamified and all the negative aspects that come with it.

The people in the video are trying to fight back.

Kosher and Halal meat are very similar - the blood is quickly drained from the animal and it is eaten soon after slaughter.

This makes it different from 'normal' meat, which is not drained of blood and is hung for a considerable time after slaughter before being offered for sale. Thus, with normal Western cooking practice, the non-halal meat is more tender, more juicy. But there are many ways of cooking halal meat that will restore both tenderness and juicyness - mainly by cooking in spiced stews and similar.

If you like a large, juicy, tender T-bone, then you must purchase a non-halal cut. If you like stews, pies, curries and so on, then there's nothing wrong with halal/kosher beef.

Or you can live on pork or vegetables.

I have not gone into the nonsense that animal rights loonies keep spouting, because I see no difference between the ways animals are slaughtered in the West, although any way they are slaughtered in less civilised countries may leave a lot to be desired.

No difference???

Are you having a laugh?

Very selective. I've seen worse abbatoirs in both instances.

In your clips there is a period of a few seconds in either case between conciousness and death. The surroundings, to us as humans, may be a little different, but that is all.

Go to a chicken slaughterhouse - I built parts of the largest in the UK. The chickens are steamed and plucked prior to slaughter (it's quicker and easier) while hanging from their necks on an overhead transporter.

To me, all methods of animal slaughter are degrading, but I still like meat to eat. It is the workers in the slaughterhouse who are damaged by their work, the animals are bred to be slaughtered and butchered. If anyone is against animal slaughter, then they must realise that most of these animals would no longer exist. There would be no need to breed and raise the meat animals.

I buy my lamb in the halal butchers in Geneva, cheaper and nicer than the local supermarkets. Also, Mcdiddies had halal burgers here since a few years.

What's the problem? I haven't suddenly become a burka wearing facionista. With a Louis vuitton bomb wrapped around my ample breasts.

And those silly people in the video, they wouldn't know good meat from supermarket trash meat anyway if they have to eat in fast food places.

The animal that had the bolt through it's head was dead almost instantly... The one's that had the medevil slaughter were made to suffer (see them kicking and squirming in the video) for no reason other that some stupid medevil belief, (please tell me different)

Supporting Halal is supporting Islam. Almost every follower of Islam donates to a charity concerned with Islam, this money is taken by mosques and and god knows where else in these backward 3rd world countries. We all know what these so called clerics preach, and if you can check the news, worlwide, you will find there is a muslim terrorist attack almost everyday of the year.

Supporting Halal is supporting terrorism.

(awaiting a bashing for telling the truth)

Sorry murf, but this sounds like utter nonsense.

First off, Islam is just another religion and the Koran is a much more developed affair than the Bible. I read both, just to have this clear. Both books also have been widely misinterpreted by their respective followers, respectively used as a pretext to pursue other, hidden agendas. To me no difference.

That there are fanatics in Islam is correct, but there are also undeniably fanatics on the Christian side. See Northern Ireland where actually Christians of two different flavours beating each other on the head.

The average Muslim is as much a peaceful individual as the average Christian is. Or the average atheist for that matter.

Do I eat halal? Yes. The only food I regularly skip on a menu is anything labeled "vegetarian".

Look at Christian terrorist attacks over the last year and then look at Muslim terrorist attacks over the last year...

Do the numbers, the truth is undisputable.

The Christian terror attacks are sanctioned by governments and officially called something like operation, interception, and so on.

Dog's not bad - eaten it in Vietnam and Philippines. (Philippines was better). And in Saudi at a filipino party. (That was not good).

Snake, in November, in Hong Kong, is a preventative medicine for winter colds. Eat the meat, drink the blood. With me it was always a viper - makes you sweat for a few hours, but I seldom had a cold - even though I was out in all weathers, hashing, playing rugby and working (occasionally).

Brits ate horsemeat in WW2. My eldest brother told me, mum never told dad she was buying it.

You were lucky if you could buy horsemeat. All my mum could get 'off the rations' was rabbit - which I have not eaten since the war. I really cannot stand it, even in Malta. But my mum always asked for it with the feet on, because, when skinned, it was the only way to ensure it wasn't cat.

How come your mum and dad conversed during the war? My father only came home a couple of times in his five years of service.

But then he was instructing the Yanks in radar operation, so he had a very nice life on American bases.

Sorry, i don't think i could eat dog. But, horse, rabbit, veal, cow, pig, chicken.....

Next year i may become a vegetarian. After i've eaten all the snails in france!!

Snails are nice!

Luxury. All we got was a pound of chicken bones, devoid of any meat, and instructions on how to make soup with them.

Dad crippled himself playing Rugby League. All he was fit for was the home guard

Dad kept chickens, so they were never short of eggs. Christmas dinner would be and old hen that was past laying. The cockerel was a big Rhode Island Red. That needed a pick axe handle to dispatch when dad decided it's time was up. I was told he'd always to fight it off just to get at the eggs.
