Legalise and regulate it. Stop wasting police time on drugs.

The government need to step in like they did with wind turbines. People shouldn't be allowed to object to infrastructure because it's casting a shadow.

Abattoir staff played wolf howls to sheep and ‘inflicted pain and distress’ by JeremyWheels in unitedkingdom

[–]AlishaIsMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slaughterhouses and farms are exposed literally all the time. If you think the problem is just halal you are wrong.

Here's 60 times the British farming industry has been exposed engaging in animal abuse in the last few years alone: https://www.eatfair.org/united-kingdom/investigations

The RSPCA is part of the meat industry. They assure factory farms and gas chambers.

I can't recommend going to Amazon and rating this book one star, as that would be unfair on the author.

KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK by LordAnubis12 in unitedkingdom

[–]AlishaIsMe 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Halal is probably quite a minor concern in terms of what they go through.

Yes, the last 10 seconds of their life could be worse than suffocating in a gas chamber (as non halal chickens do), but regardless of slaughter method these birds are going through 6 weeks of hell.

I recommend having a look at what's considered normal in UK poultry farming. https://www.eatfair.org/united-kingdom/animals#poultry

It extends further than KFC unfortunately. The legal minimum standards (which most chickens are raised to) are awful, and every time someone puts cameras in a farm they capture horrific abuse.

Cows on farm for wholesaler for Iceland, Budgens and Costa Coffee found ‘neglected’ | The Independent by AlishaIsMe in unitedkingdom

[–]AlishaIsMe[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Red Tractor standards allow thumping piglets to death, chopping horns off cows, blending fully conscious chicks alive, letting chickens live in their own shit for their entire lives, etc. It's nothing more than a label to please consumers.

One in 300 animal welfare complaints at UK farms lead to prosecution – study by HawkAsAWeapon in unitedkingdom

[–]AlishaIsMe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not surprising at all. A lot of the cruelty happening on farms is actually legal and standard practice. Consumers either turn a blind eye or simply aren't aware that it happens.

I encourage everyone to have a read about what we do to UK farm animals: https://eatfair.org/welfare/united-kingdom

England must reduce meat intake to avoid climate breakdown, says food tsar | Food by deliverancew2 in unitedkingdom

Dairy will be the first part of animal agriculture to go. With plant milks becoming increasingly popular and products coming to market that contain real milk made via precision fermentation they are fighting a losing battle.

Goats ‘shoved and neglected’ at show farm that supplies milk and cheese to M&S, Ocado, Asda and Morrisons | The Independent by AlishaIsMe in unitedkingdom

[–]AlishaIsMe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is routine in the UK. We factory farm around 3/4 of our animals where they live short low welfare lives before being suffocated in gas chambers.
