Religious Animal Slaughter/cruelty

[Ecleptalia]

The male circumcision thread has gone off-topic, so I created a new thread to talk about religious animal slaughter/cruelty to get the other thread back on-topic.

OP needs more meat. Say your opinion on it, then say "What do you think, NSG?"

There's been a slew of these lately, so as a reminder:

Threads whose opening posts consist of nothing more than a single question/line of text, OR a link (or C&P'ed text), OR just directs to a poll question are considered spam. This being a discussion forum and to prevent directionless threads from developing more spam than my supermarket's shelves, we ask that OPs put a wee bit more work into their OPs.

Please tell us what YOU think, and why.

For example:

Which is better, squirrels or llamas?

No.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas.

Still no.

Which is better, squirrels or llamas? I like llamas because they are just so fuzzy and silly looking. While squirrels have been known to take on motorcycle riders and even the police, you cannot state that a squirrel is in any way better than the joy that is a llama.

Much better, this passes muster.

Even when you're making a new thread to stop a threadjack, you still need to give some background info. What were the arguments in the threadjack? Which side of the argument do you support?

[Imperium Sidhicum]

Don't really care how the meat in question is procured myself, as long as it is fresh and tastes good.

I would, however, strongly support a Europe-wide ban on halal/kosher slaughter if only because that would help keep unwanted outsiders out of my beloved home continent and force those who wish to remain to adopt our ways. We have no obligation to accomodate their inferior superstitions.

And what is your opinion on this matter, good sir?

And what were the arguments being made in the thread?

On the other hand the slaughter is nearly painless and as the animal must be 'without blemish' the meat is generally of much higher quality.

1: And we're under no obligation to adopt kufr
2: What about Christian slaughter methods?

True, and that is the only reason I can think of to further tolerate the practice. At least until something similar is implemented on an industrial scale or synthetic meat becomes commonplace.

Besides just leaving it be?

Then animals would overpopulate the planet.

Eh, not really. Nature tends to find a pretty good balance. The only real reason that farm animals are so populous is because of us. If we stopped protecting them and breeding them, they'd probably be absorbed into the ecosystem. Might be some big swings in terms of predator numbers at first.

1. Correct, nor should your co-religionists burden themselves with the displeasure of living in infidel lands. Surely it must be horrible to live admist godless heathens and their sacrilegious ways.

2. As far as I'm aware, there are no dedicate Christian slaughter methods, animal slaughter techniques in Europe always being dictated by practicality rather than faith. If there are, however, my opinion of them would be hardly different - unless of course they somehow ensured a superior end product.

Not really. Just don't push kufr onto us.

Disgusting. I don't know why the mods posting here are ignoring that, but there's no way that that last part is within site rules.

I haven't really decided on a position on the issue, I'm still reading up on it, but if your reason for banning something is just to oppress people of a certain religion, you're despicable. Europe has no obligation to accommodate your inferior mindset.
