Halal Meat

Halal Meat

The Islamic term ‘Halal’ comes from the concept of maximum blood drainage.

The religion of Islam was created in the 7th century by uncivilized, savage Arabs who lived in the deserts of the Middle East (Arabia).

There was, of course, no refrigeration system at the time. No freezers, no way of preserving meat for a long period of time.

Therefore, when an animal was killed, the meat would have to be consumed very quickly. If it was not, it would spoil.

These Arabs concluded that the reason meat goes bad and becomes infested with insects is because of the blood that still remains in it.

So they came up with the rather bizarre idea that when you slaughter an animal, you must drain the maximum amount of blood out of the animal during the killing process.

So the ‘Halal’ slaughter involves a slow and horrifically torturous process of slicing a blood vessel in the neck of the animal and allowing the animal to essentially bleed to death.

This satisfies the 7th century custom of draining the maximum amount of blood from an animal and thus producing meat that will not spoil too quickly.

Now, in this day and age, we have ways to preserve meat with refrigeration and containers. We also don’t eat raw meat anymore, so cooking processes we use kill any bacteria that may exist in the meat. We don’t need to torture animals anymore!

Halal slaughter is barbaric, archaic, tragic and completely unnecessary. Please vow never to purchase, eat or support the concept of ‘Halal’ animal slaughter. Support the ban of all Halal meat stores in your geographic location.

Errr...Kosher slaughter and

Errr...Kosher slaughter and the Gurkhas use the same method, and in fact, several books surviving from the 14thCE specify similar practices in the hot weather...(Read some Chaucer) so its not just "Arab"

How ever you are dead right that nowadays we do not have to "drain all the blood" and our practice in cold and temperate climates is to hang larger beasts such as Beef, Venison, Mutton and so on in cool places. Best ask your local butcher for the best local practices for meat eating and preservation as they do vary country to country and area to area, like most things ...a god is not necessary!

I like Halal. It's the Islamic way to butcher everything. Get friendly with your cow. Get it to trust you completely. And then one day you get it to lay next to you and slit its throat. It;s the humane way to kill things. What is that ole saying..... ??? Oh yea, "You are what you eat."

Hitchslap2019,

According to the biblical fairy tale Israelites/Jews/Hebrews are not supposed to eat bloody meat so how are they different from the Arabs & muslims other than Arabs will eat a camel but Jews won't?

There were only a few places

There were only a few places to eat in my hometown and they were all very similar. However, once you move to Canada, each area has its own unique atmosphere and many options. For example, last week I visited a small cafe that serves a delicious maple latte, something I never imagined possible. And the other day I came across a quaint little bar that specializes in craft beer from local breweries. It's exciting, but also a little overwhelming. How do you decide where to go when there are so many options?
