All slaughter is inhumane which is why I look at halal and kosher no different to all other ways of slaughter. It’s not about fear of criticising it for wanting to be not seen as racist it’s just the way I view the killing of animals. The end seconds of the life of the animal is so similar and I think, for me anyway, it’s so much less about those last few seconds than it is about the life the animal has lived in the lead up to it.

FWIW, I don’t think there is any need to bring up sexuality just because we’re discussing an Islamic practise. I can be gay, against Islamic teachings on homosexuality while also not seeing much of a muchness when it comes to the halal vs non-halal slaughter of animals. Muslims want me dead so I oppose halal doesn’t make sense to me as a thought process.

…yeah, I also never really did understood any reasoning/thought process of ‘humane way to take life’….
