Italy bans halal slaughter

[Tiberius]

The Italian populist League party, led by firebrand Matteo Salvini, has introduced legislation that would ban ritual halal slaughter, arguing that animals should be respected and protected from suffering.
The new laws will end loopholes currently in place in the country’s animal welfare legislation that allows Muslims exemptions for ritual halal slaughter, Il Giornale reports.

Should the new laws, which will also force producers to properly label all halal and ritually slaughtered products, pass and come into effect it would see Italy join a host of other European countries such as Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Lithuania, Belgium, and Switzerland which have also either restricted or banned religious slaughter.

You cant imagine how good it feels. When Salvini became interior minister, he said: You can´t imagine what will be possible!"

And he does evrything the italian people want.

It feels so good to see our great nations dignity to be restored.

FORZA ITALIA!

Since its under the pretext of humane slaughtering lets see if things will change in Italian slaughter houses.

Their country, their choice. But don't claim to be secular, inclusive, and liberal.

How do they measure the suffering of the animal? Are the Western methods of killing animals in slaughterhouses less painful?

If the Italians would be serious about animal suffering they wouldn't be eating any meat.

This has nothing to do with animal suffering.

What? Where do we claim that=? Our interior minister calls himself a proud facist.

We are catholic, exclusive and conservative.

If they ban it,
it is a good opportunity for business
Halal meat can be exported to Italy.

We sink no boats. We simply send no ships to rescue them. When you take a rubber boat and believe you can cross the mediterranean with this, you make suicide. They die without our participation.

Our hands are clean.

It is bad for you to be on this forum. If the Catholic Church catches you on a Pakistani forum they will crucify you.

I thought Italy does separation of state and church, therefore making Italy a secular country.

The law proposes a complete ban of this. Which mean we would not allow its import.
