As for the RSPCA, I wouldn't trust that charity with a bargepole. I had so many bad dealings with them regarding their utter disregard for horses welfare, I wiped my hands of them years ago.
I think it's pretty unlikely the RSPCA made it up as they went along.

There is also the study by Massey University mentioned here:

Also if you read the article it explains a previous study that found in favour of the halaal method may have been flawed according to it's author.

As for what organisation you trust that's kind of moot and doesn't make their information less true.

But you are right in a later post when you say we all hope for the least horrible outcome for the animal. I'm sure that is so.
