[size=14]A supermarket chain has come under fire for its decision to sell halal meat from animals that have not been stunned before slaughter. Asda admitted it was controversial but said it was being piloted in just one store - Small Heath in Birmingham - in response to demand. The RSPCA and Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva) have condemned the move. '[b]Most Muslims are happy to eat stunned halal meat. The bolt pistol is without doubt the lesser of two horrible evils[/b],' Viva told the Grocer.[/size]

I don't think they're in a position to comment. Stunned meat is haram so I don't know where they got their info from. Some 'halal' meat nowadays are actually not halal, they have been stunned, so people make sure you know where your meat comes from.

i'll never have meat from supermarkets, just don't trust them.

leave the fatwa's to the scholars. This is a grey area. Most animals in the UK ARE stunned. Not to death, but they are stunned into incapacitation before slaughter.

Some (a few?) say this is allowed. Others say it is not.

If you say it is not, then you cannot eat any meat that is slaughtered in the UK, as it would be against the regulations and the abatoir would get shut down.

this is not the reason most meat is stunned first. It is permissable in UK law to slughter without stunning.

The reason abatoirs stun is because it is the only cost effective mthod and they would probably go out of business if they didn't stun.

This, like many things that Muslims sometimes see as a 'campaign against Islam', is actually just people being greedy for money and nothing more than that.

If your all so worried about whether your meat is halal or haram there is a simple solution......become vegetarians

There are more health problems associated with meat.

I doubt three daily courses of chips is healthy...

how about dahl 3 times a day

Got to say Pakistan dahal is very nice! Hate it here, but nearly ate it every day their.

bliss ukth, u read my mind. that was one of the very few things i liked about pakistan, its dahl, by far the best i've ever eaten.

lol ditto.

I was under the impression that an animal is electrocuted to death. But the general consensus is that the animals suffering should be minimised, but doesn't stunning hurt?

Imagine life without any meat. No chicken, hot wings, beef/chicken burger, doner kebab, ect. I live on takeaways, so even if there's food at home I'll still go outside and eat.

When I went back home, whenever I visited the town centre I used to go and eat chapati and dahl (although there was one time where I felt sick after eating; I suspect hygiene problems.)

No, it ios "stunned". ie its heart is still pumping. Or is supposed to be.
