[Closed] End Halal petition

\o/

Petitioning Theresa May Prime Minister and 4 others
BAN HALAL & KOSHER MEAT IN THE UK
MS THOMPSON United Kingdom

HALAL AND KOSHER MEAT MUST BE COMPLETELY BANNED IN THE UK.
THAT INCLUDES THE SALE AND SLAUGHTER.

IT IS OFFENSIVE TO EVERY CHRISTIAN LIVING IN THE UK AND IT IS MORALY (sic) WRONG IN OUR CIVILIZATION.

ALL LIFE IS SACRED AND FIGHTS TO LIVE, IF IT MUST BE KILLED IT MUST BE DONE AS HUMANLY(sic) AS POSSIBLE.

THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN WISH TO REMAIN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY NOT A BARBARIC ONE. WE DENOUNCE HALAL & KOSHER MEAT IN OUR COUNTRY.
ALL THOSE THAT WISH TO LIVE IN THE UK MUST ACCEPT AND ABIDE BY OUR UK LAWS AND PRINCIPLES.

Those of you who signed the above petition. Serious question - did you not see ANYthing a little 'off' with it? Not just the spelling and caps punishment.

This whole thing has bothered me on many fronts. I went googling yester-morn. I found out quite a lot. The whole thing is frustrating from my position (animal welfare). I have questions

I have a few questions:

1. Did you know that the Gov have this year already rejected a [url= https://www.change.org/p/stop-unstunned-halal-and-kosher-slaughter-in-the-uk/u/19072289 ]near-identical[/url] petition? (Almost word for word). The petition received over 112,000 signatures?

2. Why - if the above response from the government makes it clear that not only

will there be no ban on religious slaughter.

but they also [b]do not accept petitions from change.org[/b]

3. The above being true, why would this slightly re-worded petition (again via change.org) be re-submitted other than to rouse sentiment? It must take some ignorance to copy and paste a failed petition, add some CAPS ABOUT CHRISTIAN COUNTRY vs BARBAROUS MINORITIES , re-title to ban sales of all halal and then submit same platform that was rejected by the gov the last time. And yet people still sign.

4. The original petitioner canvassed a number of regional EDL and Britain First groups via FB (GIYF) to garner signatures. Does this alter your perception of the petition? Or is any method useful if it raises sentiment

The OP linked petition makes it very clear that this is a 'Christian country' and that you as a signee wish to ban not only the slaughter of halal/kosher meat but the SALE of. Do you really wish to ban the sale of halal and kosher meat? Regardless whether it has been stunned? How is this not to be viewed as religious persecution? Where do they (Jews and Muslims) then get their meat?

5. The current government are [url= https://petition.parliament.uk/archived/petitions/170207 ]not considering any more petitions on this issue even through the Parliament route. [/url]. They have answered. And they said no. So why are people still petitioning?

Last question - to those meat-eaters who signed/agreed with the OP petition:

How would you react to a petition banning the production and sale of intensively-produced pork?

If you accept the intensity of religious feeling, then you already know that your love of bacon (and protection of your rights to purchase said bacon) in some way approaches said intensity.

If you saw such a petition (say, from a Muslim or Jew). - would you feel that it was a religio-political move, or an animal welfare move?

Those of you who signed the above petition. Serious question - did you not see ANYthing a little 'off' with it?

I confess, I didn't read it. I figured it was a cretinous idea and didn't see any merit in wasting my time with it.

I agree with you though - that's not an animal welfare partition, it's a "we don't like brown people" petition.

I agree with you though - that's not an animal welfare partition (sic), it's a "we don't like brown people" petition.

Not exactly my point. But 'partition' is closer 😉

ie I gather that the petition may have be rooted from concern for animal welfare but then subsequently hawked through identity politics/bigotry.

Also that we often don't read (or care to research) what we put our names to because

'bla bla busy/can't be arsed what do you expect, I signed the bloody thing didn't I? Now you want me to actually READ it, and now sign a different one BECAUSE you're calling me a racist?' ROLMAO Lunch calls...'

'Well no, actually that's not...'

'Toodle pip, time's up on this issue,

it's a "we don't like brown people" petition.

Do all Jews and Muslims have brown skin ?

Depends on how long they cook their chicken for, surely?

Crispy skin, mmmmmm.

Didn’t read it either, turns out I didn’t need to. It does explain why I had never seen it before when it has been canvassed on EDL and BF sites.
