If stunless slaughter is wrong, it's wrong.

You don't stun game before you shoot it.

Nor do you shout Allah before taking a shot.


Ther is no game in Islamic countries. They killed all that centuries ago.

Is that right ?

Most of them were pretty grateful for the rule of law, economic
stability, and decent railways.

That was largely a myth, perpetuated by the conquerors.

And _that's_ a myth perpetuated by those who wanted independence _and_
benefit from our railways, language, civil service, law, knowing which
side of the road to drive, impressive colonial buildings...

afer all, what did the Romans do for us?

It;s what they didnlt do which is far more interesting.

They didn't have Zero in their maths or rather didn't have a smybol for it.

Is that because they call (or are supposed to call) the name of their
god before slaughtering the animals?

I've signed it because for me it's about how the animal lived and died.


Halal meat has nothing to do with the way the animal lived but the way
they die.

I don't think I would be able to read it if I were in china.

It an interesting thought, that one could read a foreign language by
moving to the country in which it is spoken..

Sort of 'magic thinking'

Do you vote labour as well?
