I don't come on much anymore as I don't live close, but I try and keep up to date with my hometown. I am also vehemently against fox hunting and gave been looking into which groups drag hunt, which ones pretend and which ones advocate fox hunting. Woth support at an all time low, I was surprised to see that the NWN is promoting the hunt and the pictures as some sort of community event, and will be running a "feature" on it in the next copy of the paper very dissapointing.

As far as I know, Tesco have no slaughter houses; however, according to the spiel, all Tesco supplied meat is stunned before slaughter.

But for me, critising halal slaughter is like criticising murderers using a knife instead of a gun.

Eh??
We are talking about the slaughter of animals here for meat not murder!
Animals slaughtered in the conventional way (if there is a better way to put it) are (should be) stunned before slaghter.
Halal method cruelly kills them with a crude knife while still concious, in the name of religion. Horrible!
So yes, I do condemn halal slaughter. It is not part of British culture or morality!

Give it a few years... The Andy and Newres apologists will make it the norm. All the while chasing a few dozen knobs on horseback in the Countryside shouting "shame".

Actually I have no view on hunting really. It's not something I'd do as I don't like horses or killing things. Although I eat meat I really feel uncomfortable with all slaughter. I'm no lover of Muslims as you portray than I am a lover of Catholics and certainly don't like the thought of unnecessary suffering although I'm not sure that in paractice Halal is any more cruel than our own slaughterhouses.

Sorry to not fit your stereotype.

Oh the irony.....

Oh the irony.....

Well to drag a thread about newspaper coverage of a Boxing Day hunt into yet another anti Muslim rant conforms exactly.
