Re: Halal butcher?
I started as a teenager in Tony Perkins butchers in Ossy. I am a Graduate member of the Institute of Meat, a fully trained animal welfare officer & have spent all my working years in food & in particular meat. Until September this year I worked for a retailer auditing meat & poultry slaughter house's across the world.
The majority of meat killed & cut in the UK & Europe is halal but I have never seen any "inhumane" methods of slaughter that would make any animal or bird suffer.
For info the best slaughterhouse I have seen for beef & lamb supplies M&S & Iceland, the best poultry site was in Poland supplying Asda, Iceland & KFC. Pork was a German site supplying just about most of Europe. The worst unfortunately was in the UK & purely due to age & lack of investment Bernard Matthew's gets this.
However they still slaughter in a humane manner.
Here today, somewhere else tomorrow.
