Petition

Include a ban on ritual slaughter of animals for Halal and Kosher food

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to include in its animal cruelty Bill the prohibition of ritual slaughter of animals for Halal and Kosher food.
The Government is proposing several measures to protect animals from undue suffering; I believe the Halal and Kosher ritual slaughter for food of animals is abhorrent and offends the majority of people.
