“Animal rights come before religion”

Denmark enacted a sweeping ban on the religious slaughter of animals Monday, prompting a furious backlash from Jewish and Muslim community representatives.

The ban, which requires slaughterhouse workers to stun animals before killing them, will now extend to religious communities that were previously afforded an exemption. “Animal rights come before religion,” Danish minister for agriculture and food Dan Jørgensen told Denmark’s TV2.

Activists with Danish Halal called the restriction a “clear interference in religious freedom,” the Independent reports, while Israeli chief rabbi David Lau slammed the law as “a serious and severe blow to the Jewish faith and to the Jews of Denmark,” according to Times of Israel.

Both observant Jews, under kashrut laws and Muslims, under halal laws, will not eat meat unless the animal has been killed with a single slice to the neck, with the intention to minimize its pain. (TIME)

Jewish media have no problems with dragging Islam along with them when we in fact have no problems with unstunned meat anyways...

The Jews have no problem with unstunned meat either.... the issue here is stunning.

Reading Wikipaedia what is fascinating is that the campaign to ban Jewish religious slaughter started back in the 1800's, and the campaign was borne out of a hatred for Jews. www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1... And over the subsequent decades several countries banned it.

Now of course the campaign is borne out of a hatred for muslims...Jews are just caught in the crossfire.
