Flanders, northern Belgium, bans un-stunned halal and kosher slaughter
Belgium bans halal and kosher slaughter methods which see animals killed without being stunned first
Flanders, northern Belgium, bans un-stunned halal and kosher slaughter.
Animals must now be stunned before their throats are cut in religious ritual.
Jewish and Muslim groups say it violates EU law of freedom of religion.

A Belgian region has banned halal and kosher slaughter unless the animal is stunned before it is killed, despite critics saying it violates freedom of religion.
The northern region of Flanders is the first in Belgium to implement the ban, followed by the southern region of Wallonia in September.
When proposed, the law was slammed as 'the greatest assault on Jewish religious rights since Nazi occupation' by the European Jewish Congress.
Both the Muslim halal and Jewish kosher rituals require that butchers slaughter the animal by slitting its throat and draining the blood.
Under the new law, animals will have to be stunned electrically before being killed, which most animal rights campaigners say is more humane than the halal and kosher rituals.

Just one of the many horrific stories from the book
Slaughterhouse,
“The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry"
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/231213/slaughterhouse-by-gail-a-eisnitz/9781591024507/
Tommy Vladak, a worker at an American slaughterhouse speaks publicly about what really happens behind closed doors. This is what he witnessed.
"After they left me, the hogs would go up a hundred-foot ramp to a tank where they're dunked in 140° water...Water any hotter than that would take the meat right off their bones...There's no way these animals can bleed out in the few minutes it takes to get up the ramp. By the time they hit the scalding tank, they're still fully conscious and squealing. Happens all the time." These hogs get up to the scalding tank, hit the water, and start kicking and screaming... There's a rotating arm that pushes them under. No chance for them to get out. I am not sure if they burn to death before they drown, but it takes them a couple of minutes to stop”
