AFTER reading A Carter's challenge to me in his letter on April 15 concerning the ritual slaughter of animals, I attended the monthly meeting of the Wiltshire Branch of the League Against Cruel Sports in Chippenham when I asked each member about their attitude to the question of not pre-stunning of animals to be killed for halal and kosher meat.
Every single person there was against the practice, but it was pointed out that we are the League Against Cruel Sports.
Some were supporters of Compassion In World Farming which would deal with this subject.
My opinion is that certain actions practiced by other religions in other countries are not allowed here by our laws.
We have laws concerning the slaughter of animals and, as far as I am concerned, everyone living here should obey our laws.
The reason I am against the hunting of foxes with dogs is nothing to do with prejudice, the breeding and killing of foxes for sport is deliberate cruelty.
