Possible ban on halal/kosher meat in the Neds

Kosher simply being thron into the mix to avoid allegations of racism

Oh come one Louis, you know the history here as well as anyone. It's not kosher that's thrown in to justify a halal-ban, it's halal that's thrown in to justify a kosher ban. The anti-kosher sentiment is as old as european jew-hate, but because of WW2 a ban on kosher alone has as much chance as a snowball in hell(fortunately).

The fact of the matter is that fur farms remains as institutional torture of animals, yet "conservative free market animal rights activists"(yeah right) whines about kosher and halal. I'll say it again, a halal slaughtered cow in Muslimistan has lived a life in paradise compared to a "humanly slaughtered" cow in the west's industrial agriculture scheme.

True animal rights activists are of course against halal and kosher slaughter as well, but they're caught in the middle in this case, as they're against just about everything concerning animals... And let's have a closer look at those activists, shall we? They have devoted their life to fight for animals, I'd say they're pretty knowledgeable about what practices are the worst. It's also quite logical that they would be most strongly opposed to the worst practices, and will resort to drastic actions against them. Off the top of my head, I can remember plenty of actions against fur shops, fur farms, whaling and industrial farms. I can't seem to remember any actions committed against a kosher/halal slaughterhouse. And don't try the "oh they're scared to be labeled racists"-defense, I'm pretty sure loony activists don't give a crap about that.

As for the 'terrible' transportation, I wonder if you have som links to come up with - it rings no bells here.

I only have 2,5 years of near-constant bitching and whining about it from my farmer ex-girlfriend, no linkys... But if you want to find some yourself, Spain would probably be the best place to start, most of her bitching was about them....

Oh, come on now, HoreTore. Anti-Islamism is the current focus of the European hardright, not antisemitism. Apart from some fringe groups, it's all about Muslims Muslims Muslims nowadays. Do you not read the interweb's underbelly, such as cult war games fora? Kosher slaughter is the collateral damage here.


Although, as I tried to show in my previous post, this is really about neither halal nor kosher food. This is about finding an electoral majority to impose stricter animal rights, including humane slaughter.

I don't trust the sincerity of anyone who calls themselves an animal rights activist who has time for other things than firebombing fur shops.

It's not kosher that's thrown in to justify a halal-ban, it's halal that's thrown in to justify a kosher ban.

So about this law: the arguments about animal welfare are just a pretext for implementing islamophobic policy, to serve as a smoke screen for a massive anti-semetic conspiracy?

This makes perfect sense.
