Re: Halal chops
 

Have fought with my conscience over eating meat for a good while, I was vegetarian for 17 years and could go back to that with no problems now. I don't think religion should be brought into it, I think it's more a case of if it came down to you actually killing the animal , could you do it? Could you throttle a chicken or shoot a lamb? I think that if you couldn't physically end that animals life then you have no right to be eating it. I am in a bit of a state of turmoil over this and have been for a few months, I do like meat but I am struggling justifying it.

An entirely different subject Lindsay, however, no, I could not kill these sort of animals but only because we have become organised, and have professionals to do it for us.

If times changed, and I had to go out and hunt/kill animals to feed my children, wouldn't hesitate for a minute. Lucky we have a choice now though.

Re: Halal chops
 

i would have no qualms of killing teh animals so I'm happy to continue to eat meat. One thing we did with Siobhan was not 'hide' the name of the animal from here when eating meat. hence its piggy butties, moo cow pie etc.

I've bought Halal meat before and found it no different to ordinarily slaughtered meat.

Well to me a chop is a chop, but I have to say I was actually put of bacon for a short while after working at Walls meat processing plant in Hyde. That plant, back in the 70s, did most of Tommy Walls pork products and we were actually given a tour of he plant, gruesome to say the least :eek:
