I understand that. What I don't understand is that non-ritual slaughter is far more widespread and the numbers of animals slaughtered in a non-ritual way far outnumber those slaughtered by religious rules. There are also regular and numerous reports of bad practice surrounding animals raised for food and I know for a fact that MPs and MEPs are regularly contacted by people concerned about all kinds of issues surrounding the ethical treatment of animals in the way they're kept, the way they're bred, the way they're transported and the way they're slaughtered. And yet this vet ignoring all that and raising the question of ritual slaughter. I'd be interested to know why he's concerned enough to make an issue of ritual slaughter and not of all the other bad practices going on every day in the UK.
