This is for all those "Halal is inhumane" idiots...

Halal is the perfect way for animal slaughter (Otherwise stick to your veggies)

These are excerpts taken from a study by Wilhelm Schultze and Dr. Hazim at the School of veterinary Medicine, Hanover University, Germany published early June 1977 to test out which is more humane.. the Muslim Halal way or the western captive bolt stunning...

The link for the full article is on the bottom this is just part of the findings of the study.. and some the conclusions... (don't buy into the "halal is inhumane" B.S)

HALAL vs Captive Bolt Stunning Report

Experiments for measuring the heart frequency and brain activity during slaughter conditions were carried out on 23 sheep and 15 calves. After implanting permanent electrodes into the Os frontale the cerebral cortex impulses were measured for 17 sheep and 10 calves during ritual slaughter and for 6 sheep and 5 calves during captive bolt application with subsequent bloodletting. Some sheep were additionally subjected to thermal pain stimuli after the ritual cut.

The investigations had the following results:

Slaughter by ritual cut (the halal humane way):

1. After the bloodletting cut the EEG initially is the same as the EEG before the cut (NO PAIN!). There is a high probability that the loss of reaction took place within 4 – 6 seconds for sheep and within 10 seconds for calves. (no pain and very quick death)

2. The zero line in the EEG was recorded no later than after 13 seconds for 17 sheep and no later than 23 seconds for 7 calves.

3. Thermal pain stimuli did not cause an increase in activity. (Even if you inflict pain externally it does not affect the animal anymore)

4. After the cut the heart frequency rose for calves within 40 seconds to 240 heart actions per minute and for sheep within 40 seconds to 280 heart actions per minute. (more heart beats = more bloodletting = cleaner / safer / tastier meat..)

In summary the following conclusions are possible:

Calves (Ritual / islamic cut)

After the bloodletting cut loss of reaction (loss of consciousness) occurred with high probability within 10 seconds. A clear reaction to the cut could not be detected in any animal. For 7 animals a zero EEG was recorded no later than after 23 seconds. Cramps occurred in the animals regularly only after the brain currents had stopped.

Sheep

After the bloodletting cut loss of reaction (loss of consciousness) occurred after 10 seconds the latest. A clear reaction to the cut could not be detected in any animal. The zero line was recorded no later than 14 seconds after the cut. Cramps only occurred after the zero line had been detected and were much shorter than after captive bolt stunning.

The slaughter in the form of ritual cut is, if carried out properly, painless in sheep and calves according to the EEG recordings and the missing defensive actions.

Slaughter after captive bolt application: (Inhumane western way)

1. After captive bolt stunning all animals displayed most severe general disturbances (waves of 1-2 Hz) in the EEG, which almost with certainty eliminates a sense of pain. (MORE PAINFUL!!)

2. The zero line in the EEG was reached for 4 calves after 28 seconds. (Painful elongated death)

3. For two sheep the cerebral cortex activity only stopped in one half of the brain, whilst it continued in the other in the –region (up to 3.5 Hz) until the bloodletting cut. (oouch!!)

4. The bloodletting cut resulted for all animals in a brain activity (e and d waves). (Extra pain!)

5. Thermal pain stimuli caused an increase in activity in one sheep.

6. The heart frequency rose directly after stunning to values above 300 actions per minute.

In summary the following conclusions are possible:

Calves (Inhumane western way)

After captive bolt stunning most severe general disturbances (waves of 1-2 Hz) occurred in the EEG, which almost with certainty eliminates a sense of pain.

Sheep (Inhumane western way)

Similar disturbances were also seen in sheep, but besides the somewhat higher frequency there are still clearly superimposed waves. For one animal waves could be recorded after pain stimuli until after the 200^th second. Apparent cramps were registered for all sheep with the exception of one animal.
