Well the HMC thinks it likely, they will have access to more evidence than you quite likely.
If the laws of this country apply to all of us, not just some of us, the HMC cannot ban it, they can only ban their followers from eating it. Our laws say animals must be treated humanely and slaughtered humanely.
If they insist on meat killed this way then they should buy it from a country where halal killing without stunning is not banned.
Hanging a fully conscious animal by a leg and cutting it's throat so it bleeds to death for a few minutes- humane? Painless? No rational person could believe that or should accept it.
