To declare something as fact without bothering to do the slightest bit of research is as good a lie as makes no difference.

Cattle and sheep which are being exported live from Ireland to the Middle East are being slaughtered in shocking conditions in “clear breach of EU laws”, Irish farmers have been warned.

In Ireland, with 1% of consumers Muslim, 6% of cattle and 34% of sheep were killed without stunning, and In France 40% of calves, 25% of bovines (cattle) and 54% of ovines (sheep etc.) were killed without stunning according to a survey done in 2006-07.

Detailed slaughter estimations Though they are exempted from mandatory stunning of animals, the Muslim community in the UK has over time increased the use of pre-stunning. In 2008 an estimated 75% of cattle, 93% of sheep and 100% of poultry killed to produce Halal meat were stunned before sticking.The Jewish community however is maintaining the traditional method, which means no stunning prior to cutting. Jewish dietary law requires meat to be marked to indicate its Kosher status.

Then we have to realise that there are far fewer jews anyway, so there is insufficient market for an abattoir to devote a production line to a jewish ritual slaughter which might involve a method very similar to halal (different prayers, but still no pre-stunning). But if such a production line actually exists in Ireland, I will certainly condemn it as equally barbaric to the halal one.

They aren't the same in regards of severity, but they are in the sense of legitimacy. There are plenty of countries that cater for that way of living. I would never choose to be resident in one of them. Perhaps if you have views incompatible to the county you live, you would be better to go somewhere else. So racist
