I have no issue with seeing how the sausage is made. But halal and kosher meat makes me uncomfortable. It’s just _needlessly_ cruel.

Maybe I’m just splitting hairs here. It’s murdering an animal to eat it either way. But making an animal bleed out instead of putting a bolt through its head is just needless suffering.

Anyone else feel this way?

My understanding is animals die very quickly from halal butchery. Compared to animals twisting their ankles walking over metal grates, or people stomping on baby chicks with work boots, this seems like a weird thing to focus on

I know from personal experience if you kill the chicken the right way it will bleed out almost instantly. They don’t kill animals with bolts they shock them, I don’t think chickens were ever killed with bolts.

You can’t murder an animal. If you do it yourself you will respect the animal and food more.
