Sigh!<BR/><BR/>About Halal - if I know it right - is basically that an animal isn't stunned before it dies. Usually, the practice is to stun the animal witha bolt and then slaughter it. Since blood is prohibited in the Halal diet, the animal must bleed after it's cut at the throat. <BR/><BR/>The controversy is around the claim that the animal doesn't feel pain as the sudden loss of blood from the head means the animal doesn't feel pain. There's talk in some countries to ban Halal slaughter (and Kosher) as it is considered inhumane. Though as a vegetarian, the stand confuses me. I guess I don't really know enough about meat!neha vishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549996517146151040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-62460560708290273242008-01-20T04:29:00.000-06:002008-01-20T04:29:00.000-06:00full adayar anada bhavan nostalgia occurs.but at l...full adayar anada bhavan nostalgia occurs.<BR/><BR/>but at least she's fed and housed.
