Islam and animal abuse

At least 13,600,000 animals are killed halal style each year in Britain without being stunned. It's illegal to do this, unless you are a Muslim or a Jew.

Funny how some cultures treat animals like shit (another would be China) and other cultures at least respect animals and create laws to minimise their misery. But all cultures are equal, don't forget that!

"But contrary to what many assume, most animals killed by halal methods are stunned before slaughter. FSA estimates suggest that 88% of animals in the UK killed by halal methods were stunned beforehand in a way that many Muslims find religiously acceptable."

Do you realize how poorly Chickens and other animals in the U.K. and similar majority Christian countries are treated?

Before you throw stones at other cultures maybe you should educate yourself on your own.

We try to do what we can, I don't expect utopia. Justifying all other cultures because the U.K. isnt an imaginary utopia where everything is perfect is a weak argument.
Despite whatever we get wrong, we aren't deliberately committed to treating animals in a barbaric way. Ok...

The Jews believe that a “Moshiach” (Messiah) will usher in a new world at the end of days, which the Torah references in Numbers 24:14: “And now, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you … what this people will do to your people at the end of days." The Moshiach will be a learned leader who is prophetic like Moses and wiser than Solomon. The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Joel and Hosea all refer to the messianic era. Jews believe this messianic era will happen when they have proven themselves worthy through their “mitzvoh” (good deeds); therefore much of Jewish ritual and tradition center around service and giving back to community. Though the Moshiach could come at any time in any generation, the Talmud states that it will be before the Hebrew year 6000 (approximately 2239 on the Gregorian calendar) and after that, a resurrection of the dead and Day of Judgment will follow.
