I support the ban. Britain is generally considered a nation of animal lovers, I know I am, and should not put aside its ideals to appease the religious views of minority groups. We should never bow down to such pressure.

There are always other options for those that don’t want to either eat any meat or eat meat that hasn’t been slaughtered in a certain way. To expect the nation as a whole to accept such cruelty when it generally goes against their own beliefs is unacceptable. Animals have rights too.

I know there will be the usual cries about killing any animals for food is wrong but at least we try to do so in a humane way. We should not abandon that to satisfy the few. I also abhor any sports that cause suffering to animals and would personally ban them so that argument is not applicable here.

i agree brillo,but so many people close their eyes to how their meat is supplied, it tastes nice so it's ok for animals to suffer,typical human trait, IF and it's a big IF, the humans could be trusted to kill them in the most humane way possible, meat eating wouldn't be such a problem for me, at least in the UK we TRY to keep the animals suffereing to a minimal,some cultures don't they are barbaric,but saying that we have all seen the footage of what goes on in some slaughterhouses it's disgusting, animals suffer at the hands of some humans,even when it says on the packaging they are from free roam farms etc,is all that really true.I'm betting if we had to kill our own meat we wouldn't be eating much. I support the ban too.
