I find it incredible that the same politically correct numpties who go beserk over killing vermin will happily endorse appalling cruelty in the slaughter of meat in order to accommodate the wishes of a minority.
Imagine how they would react if this were a Christian requirement!
Personally, I do not refuse to eat halal meat entirely but I will try pretty hard to avoid it.
A LoonyTuneswatch coconut is hereby awarded to the moronic councillors responsible.
