  4. Ibrahim Miya "as a fact, there is nothing disliking about halal." halal causes immense amounts of sadistic suffering on the basis of religious superstition.  "Halal is simply misunderstood by many basically due to biases, prejudices, and hatred." so the entire scientific community is wrong.  "Halal is the healthiest source of products you can ever use." just like zamzam water, which is loaded with arsenic and plenty of other heavy metals? fuck off. "It I s not only restricted to slaughtering animals, but it extend to anything you can safely use that gives you highest level of safety and health benefits. Things such as dangerous drugs, alcaholism and many more;" handwaving. "we all agree that those are dangerous not only to the person using them, but to everyone around them. Do you think all the shootings, suicides, rapes...that are happening in the western world have no contributory factors?" equivocating religious slaughter with asceticism.  "What's leading people into committing such crimes despite the abundance at the possession, are mainly the non-halal things people force unto themselves." equivocation.  "Stay HALAL, Stay pure, natural, and healthy; and you'll be much happier with yourself." happiness metrics are rock-bottom in islamic countries whereas in the west where we engage in meaningless hedonism, happiness is highest. your statements are inconsistent with reality. islam (religiosity on the whole) correlates strongly with misery and suffering. most failed, backwards societies in the world today are islamic.

  15. dunnowy123 "No, it often tastes fresher" placebo. it isnt. "and I notice non-halal meat has a smell to it because of the blood." as i explained, the blood is drained in both cases. this is nonsense. "How it it tortured?" read the fucking thead. "The whole point is to slit the throat and kill it quickly." the whole point is that the animal is awake while it endures the trauma that causes it to die. read the thread. captive stun bolt is what people use when they want to kill it quickly without regard for superstition. read the thread. "That's the opposite of torture." killing it as quickly and painlessly as possible is the opposite of halal, which is torture by definition for the sake of superstition.  "Will it not work EVERY time? Maybe. But, so what?" so you are condoning unnecessary suffering and are a piece of shit. "Your in the business of slaughtering animals, it's not supposed to be easy." it is though. we have had the utility of  painless mechanisms for a very long time. captive stun bolt. "And...even if the far right does take power in the UK (BTW, how many seats do they have again?) the political backlash would be enormous. No way that's happening." the right has taken over the whole of europe, barring maybe some of scandinavia, but that is also changing. have you not been paying attention?  "In any case, you might as well ban meat all together, because it's all the same shit." false equivalency. in one case, an animal has a completely painless death, and in the other, an animal drowns in its own blood while it flails around frantically, experiencing an intense fight-or-flight response after having its arteries and trachea severed. "I'd rather advocate for the right of people to eat the meat their religion dictates that the "welfare" (and I put that in quotations because it's dubious) of animals." then you are just a shit person. you care more about pandering to pernicious human superstition than you do about welfare. "I'm sure the Netherlands and Denmark had alternative reasons for the ban and "animal rights" was only incidental." then you are stupid in addition to being a piece of shit.

  16. dunnowy123 "Doesn't it often require multiple stuns to actually stun larger animals?" no. that would just be completely stupid. if that were the case, the stun bolt would me made more potent.   "And  why is slitting the throat and dropping the blood flow to the brain crueler?" i explained this already. the animal is conscious during the entire process. it drowns in its own blood while fully awake.   "Because it's hung and the blood drains down?" hanging upside down adds to the cruelty. it would compensate for the loss of blood pressure and ensure the animal is conscious for even longer.  "I see less opportunities for cruelty than we see with typical slaughtering methods." that is just completely stupid and flies in the face of all conventional understanding and every single piece of evidence. "From the methods are supposed to be used in halal, the animal seems to be treated better if they follow the actual rules." halal determines the method of slaughter, not the way the animal is raised. this is handwaving. red herring. "If an industry is poorly regulated, the standards won't be high regardless if they're slaughtered halal style or not." this is not relevant. red herring. "And just because the right takes power in continental Europe doesn't mean it's going to happen in the UK, which is quite different that most of Europe. Political mobilization on the part of minorities is a whole different ballgame, meaning a "takeover" by the BNP or any of far right party is unlikely." the european politic is shifting to the right. this is a banal statement. "BUT, in the end, I don't really care. I'm still going to eat me. Halal or non-halal. You keep getting worked up over this." then you are just a shitty person. you have conceded all notions of right/wrong suffering/wellbeing and just stated you dont care. irresponsible behaviour from an irresponsible and shitty person.

  31. ***** you dont understand what you are talking about at all. the amount of voltage is not what is used to cause insensibility, it is the location. we actually use this very mildly as a form of psychiatric  therapy in people with mental illness (it is called electroconvulsive therapy). electrodes are positioned around the brain and current is passed through the brain lobes. patients often describe it as going to sleep and then waking up with a slight headache. here is a video of people that are accidentally instantly rendered unconscious by a massive electrical shock to their brain and nervous system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ_bQiTU04c you are essentially sitting there pretending the entire consensus of the world's physicians and neurologists are wrong when they conclude that electrical bath stunning (along with inert gas asphyxiation and captive bolt stunning) is a contender for being a part of the most humane process for slaughter that we can contrive, and that throat-slitting is in fact  the best and has been all along. even with 1400 years of technology at our disposal, you believe that your dark-age ritual is still the best. you are being ridiculous. you would have to believe there is a massive conspiracy among non-muslim scientists and experts to defame islam as being barbaric. it is absurd. you need to read more. you dont "lose consciousness due to blood loss". this is not like hemorrhaging from a wrist in a bathtub. the throat (area with high density of nerve endings and many tissue types) is slit from ear to ear with a knife. a very high percentage of animals killed using ritual slaughter are determined to have large quantities of blood in their lungs. they are hung upside down, which actually has the effect of increading blood pressure and keeping them sensible for even longer. these animals often drown in their own blood while fully aware that they have just been mortally wounded and that their life-blood is gushing from their neck. the panic response is acute which can be easily noticed from the intense, desperate flailing and consciousness often lasts for many minutes. this is cruel and barbaric to any informed and honest, rational agent. there is no argument to be had. just read more.
