Ban the practice of slaughtering unstunned animals for Halal or Kosher meat.

What the petition asks
The Islamic and Jewish religions call for the slaughter of animals by slitting their throats and allowing them to bleed out. In some cases, (estimated to be around 15% in the UK ), this is carried out without the animal being stunned. This is a barbaric practice not worthy of a place in 21st C UK.
