Ban halal and kosher certification and slaughter
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Greece has banned kosher and halal slaughter. The Hellenic Council of State, announced the ban deeming them “inhumane." The courts found that the religious preparation of animal products did not outweigh the suffering of those animals' welfare, The British government should do the same.
At the very least such items should be clearly and prominently labeled. It is strictly forbidden for some Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians to consume any halal or kosher certified product or religiously slaughtered meat. Without clear prominent labeling we could be consuming it without knowing. At the very least there should be clear prominent labeling so the public can make an informed choice.
