MUSLIMS
IN BRITAIN ARE ARE ALLOWED AGAIN TO CARRY ON WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS
SLAUGHTER WITHOUT STUNNING!
Department for Environment,Food and
Rural Affairs(DEFRA), which is a Government body, has issued its NEWS
RELEASE on the 8th March/2005 titled:
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE FARM
ANIMAL WELFARE COUNCIL'S(FAWC) REPORT ON WELFARE AT SLAUGHTER
In this response,the Animal Welfare
minister,Mr Ben Bradshaw,has stated:
"the Government has maintained
its position in not accepting FAWC's recommendation that slaughter without
prior stunning should be banned!
He also said: the Government
respected the rights of communities in Britain to slaughter animals in
accordance with the requirements of their religion"
And In his response to
Recommendation 201 he said:
"the Government does not intend
to ban the slaughter of animals without prior stunning by religious groups..the
Government is committed to respect the rights of religious groups (Jewish and
Muslims)..."
We like here,on behalf of the
British muslims, to thank the Minister/Government and DEFRA for
their understanding and acceptance of our religious rights and needs in
animal slaughter/DHABH,without the use of any stunning technique,and as
in the present British law now.
However,we like to confirm
again that ,the religious method/without stunning,is the only HUMANE method
which was prescribed by GOD ..and was implemented by all prophets of GOD:
Abraham,Moses,Jesus and Muhammad,the final prophet(peace be upon them) as a
mercy to man and to animals!
Not only that ,but it does
give us also the most healthy type of meat,as prooved by the new medical
sciences.
We like to appeal to
the Minister and to DEFRA,to reconsider : this
Divine humane
method for all animal slaughter in
Britain,and to STOP all stunning techniques,for the welfare of the
animals and for the Health of our nation!
We,also like to appeal to all the
muslims involved in animal slaughter/"HALAL",to stick to prophet
Muhammad's way in animal slaughter/DHABH,and without any type of
stunning/torture techniques,especially when the law of the land allows us to do
that.
Unfortunately,we have to admit
that ,the majority of the so called:"HALAL
MEAT".".HALAL FOOD" which are sold to the muslims today ARE NOT
HALAL BUT "HARAM"!
And those "muslims"
involved in this "HARAM" business, are Betraying Sayyidna
Muhammad,peace be upon him,cheating their own muslim community ,
inflicting a lot of cruely on animals and feeding our innocent
children/community:
"Haram" unhealthy meat!!!!
Here is a list of some Websites
which expose the the Harams,Health hazards and the cruelties inflicted on
the innocent animals when stunning is used:
-www.unstunnedhalal.com
-www.iccuk.org/www.iccservices.org.uk(Regent
Park mosque/Islamic Cultural Centre)
-www.mcb.org.uk/health (Muslim
Council of Britain)
-www.halalmc.org
(Halal Monitoring Committee)
-www.chechitauk.org (Jewish)
Another neglected issue by the
muslims,is important to emphasize:
TO FEED/GROW the ANIMALS before
doing any halal slaughter: on natural diet/organic(grass and plants,as
mentioned in the Qur'an): And to avoid completely animal proteins
Genetically modified feed and all hormones,antibiotics and chemicals, in
order to have TAYYIB meat(natural,pure,wholesome,healthy safe and
blessed...)
Time has come to put our house in
order,especially in Halal meat and Food!
