I hated those programmes that showed the killing process in abbattoirs, the animals looked terrified going in there and must have been able to sense fear and smell the blood too.
grow it,kill it,eat it I think the series was,something like that anyway.

There are no easy ways to kill an animal for food really, all will have some fault as to the process but I cannot see change coming as to halal processes.
I guess that for as long as people demand meat it will go on and nothing will change at all for any methods used.
The point also is the argument that the animals slaughtered are only bred in the first place for food,if there was not the demand for meat then they likely would never have been bred at all.

I do agree a lot of the farming methods are rather dubious and cause suffering to a lot of animals even before they get anywhere near the slaughtering stage.
