Pork replaced by halal meat at 185 Subways across the UK and Ireland
 

There's been quite an outroar on facebook over this

ap
and your timeline is full of idiots soz about it

is that you Salman and your "strong demands" :fist:

you don't need to tell me information I already know

I refuse to eat halal meat ever, luckily I dont eat at subway

Why would anyone only want to eat meat from an animal that was killed whilst conscious, salman explain

actually all the halal subway meat is stunned

Halal meat actually tastes better so all good for me. The meat in Egypt when I went was 5*. In an ideal world all meat here is like that tbh :laugh:

I'm probably going to sound unbelievable racist and seem like a ****, but I'm sick of muslims getting special treatment. I can slightly understand if they changed the non-pork food to halal. If I went to a muslim country I wouldnt expect them to accept my traditions and go out of there way to cater for them. If you dont eat pork you dont order bacon? I dont like olives but I dont ask for them not to be served.

Always getting their way? A little racist, yes.

I notice the thing that Reece posted also mentions Jews... so on behalf of my own religion I want to say that it is one of our laws that we don't cause animals to suffer and Kosher slaughtering is as fast an painless as possible with more and more people using the stun method first. I can't pretend to know much about Halal slaughter... However... people inevitably complain about Kosher and Halal slaughtering while being perfectly happy to eat other more conventionally slaughtered meat without having any clear idea what atrocious places abattoirs are. How do you think non-Halal and Kosher meat is slaughtered? Do you think they sing them to sleep? What's more, all kinds of animals are abused and mistreated all over this country on a daily basis. I think their care and welfare would be a more suitable cause for concern.

No bacon. :(

Why can't they just have all meat that isn't pork be halal meat and pork just be there as an option for non Muslim people?

Why can't they just have two counters..keep everybody happy.

Always getting there way was an exhageration and I didnt mean it, I just meant special treatment. As far as I know there are laws that mean all animals have to be stunned so its painless with the exception of Halal (It could be Kosher, but I dont know much about that so I wont comment on it). I know with Halal some Muslims object to the idea of the animal being stunned before slaughter.

do you think this is something subway was forced to do against their will? no. it's a business with the sole aim to make profit, they don't give two ****s about your little feelings.

why are you blaming muslims for the decision to remove bacon when it was SUBWAY who chose to do that

IT'S A PRIVATE BUSINESS not YOU. and there actually are places in muslim countries which go out of their way to serve pork and alcohol for western tourists. why would anyone have an issue with private businesses making their own private decisions to cater to certain people? do you want the government to force all private businesses to serve bacon just so people like you who can't bear the idea of a tiny minority of them not doing so are satisfied?

Yes I knew that. I don't think you're a racist, just that what you said sounded racist.

As Salman said earlier, and as I said... more and more Halal and Kosher butchers are stunning animals first.

Questions only Subway can answer. I don't use Subway, but if I did, I'd be happy with that.

I think Turkey is classed as a Muslim country..when I was on holiday there I had the best full english breakfasts ever...bacon, pork sausage..the lot. That might just be because it was the touristy side (Marmaris) but the people cooking it had no objection.

I agree though, that a better option would be to ADD halal options to the menu rather than make it all halal, as I found out yesterday that apparently that wouldn't be a problem aslong as the non-halal and halal didnt touch each other or something..

Uh, why not offer both?

There's a noticable Indian population at my university and they offer Veggie meat in place of cow for them along with the other option at the cafeterias.

This is just plain stupid.

Turkey's secular

It was requested. I'm not blaming Muslims, I didnt mean the "getting there way part" I just feel they get separate treatment to other religions. I understand the whole business aspect, and from a business point of view why would they stop selling bacon. If you dont eat bacon dont order them.


I know that I'm not a sandwich shop?

Im not saying that muslim countrys dont, I'm saying I wouldnt expect them to.

I dont think its a smart idea as a business I just dont see why they cant have it as well as halal meat, as I said already if you dont like bacon dont order it.

Where does that article come from, Sam?

Daily Mail, not a good paper to use as a source for these sort of discussions as they obviously exaggerated by using the word "Demand". I'd say it was requested frequently

Does it really matter that much?

Subway is shockingly bad and overpriced whether it's halal, kosher or pork options still there. I've found this with all the branches I've been to in the country.
