Religious Slaughter

Posted by | Oct 24, 2017 | |          

There are two religious groups that insist that animals are slaughtered without pre-stunning. Both have different reasons for doing so. The Jews believe that God is content for the killing of one of his creatures if it is for the benefit of feeding mankind, but that pain and suffering must be minimised. Extreme care is therefore taken with the handling of the animal pre-slaughter. This is important not only for animal welfare reasons but a relaxed and un-stressed animal will not release certain hormones into its bloodstream that subsequently spoil the quality of the meat. The throat of the…

It is illegal to use this material anywhere in the food chain. It is, however, cleared for use on cats and dogs for external application to control fleas and other insect pests. Fiprinol was found in eggs that were produced in the Netherlands. As that country is 300% self-sufficient in eggs, very large quantities are exported.

This is a minute parasite that hides in crevices during the day and then,…

This will be the case if they are consuming milk and derived products, eggs and derived products, pork, beef, chicken, duck and turkey. It may be the case with cooking oil, margarine, sugar and farmed salmon. No complaints have been substantiated that the safety, quality or taste of this food has deteriorated in the fifteen years of these GM crop imports. Every day, British people wear underwear and sanitary products made…

It was announced recently that farmers who wished to participate in the new Countryside Stewardship agreements that commence in January 2016 will be required to display a poster or plaque or billboard in a place that can be readily be seen by the passing public. This signage must publicise receipt of EU funding. The greater the funding, the larger the sign. It does not seem a coincidence that this new ruling for farmers to erect EU propaganda posters just happens to coincide with a referendum campaign on EU membership. In very round terms British taxpayers send about £5.5 billion…
