JEWS AND MUSLIMS SAY GOD WANTS ANIMALS TO SUFFER - STOP RITUAL SLAUGHTER !

 

 

The animal is hung upside down.

Then its throat is cut.

The creature chokes on its own blood 

As it gushes out through the gash in its throat.

 

Orthodox Jews and Muslims hold that this is what Jehovah or Allah wants. It makes me sick. Don't the poor beasts suffer enough without this torture? Are we still primitive savages, blaming our gods for our cruelty?

(JTA) — The umbrella group representing Polish Jews petitioned Poland's constitutional court to reverse a ban on ritual slaughter methods.

In a statement released Friday, the Union of Jewish Religious Communities said the petition concerned "a collision of two laws," a reference to measures enacted in 1997 — one permitting and the other prohibiting ritual slaughter.

The statement said that following the Polish parliament's rejection in July of a draft amendment to the law on the protection of animals, "the legal situation of the Jewish community, whose duty is among others overseeing the supply of kosher food and ritual slaughter, became unclear."

Polish lawmakers voted down a draft amendment to the law on animal protection that would have allowed for the slaughter of animals without prior stunning, as required by Jewish and Muslim law, if carried out so as to follow religious customs.

Poland's Union of Muslims will be filing a separate application to the court, according to a report Friday by Polskie Radio.

Some 80 Polish firms that mainly sell kosher and halal products abroad will take part in an independent lawsuit against the state seeking financial compensation for losses incurred during the ban, the radio station reported.

Slaughter without prior stunning was made illegal in Poland as of January, following a ruling in November by the constitutional court on a petition by animal rights activists. The court said the government had no constitutional right to pass a regulation in 2004 that legalized ritual slaughter.
