Epic fail

Coming from a 3 generations of butchers in my family, who cultivated, slaughtered and sold the meat, the concept of halal is tosh.

Have you done this yourself? Prior to my generation, everyone has raised and slaughtered their own animals. A stun-free method of slaughter seems to work just as well. The stunning just seems to give an opportunity for the abbotoir staff to be lazy and rough with the animals.

I actually remember reading in new scientist, that they had tested and found out, that blood will drain from an animal just as quickly when stunned. So this cannot be used as an excuse for non-stunning. I think it just seems a little uncessary and prone to abuse.
