'Is Your White Elephant Halal?' - Why Religious Slaughter Must Stay
Den 19. marts 2014.
"At the time of slaughter certain rules or etiquette must be followed. For example, the animal must have access to food and water when waiting, the knife must be sharp, the animal can't see the blade, can't see blood or other animals being slaughtered; at the time of slaughter a prayer is critical as it's recognition of the sacrifice of the animal.
Halal is about making the life and the death of the animal the best it can be, in every way. How many Brits would disagree with that?"

Danish halal and kosher ban leaves religious groups with nowhere to turn
Den 6. marts 2014.

Halal-certificeringsorgan i England forbyder maskinel slagtning af fjerkræ
Den 27. februar 2014.
I England er der en muslimsk organisation, Halal Food Authority (HFA), som tidligere har certificeret og accepteret mekanisk slagtning (dvs. at fjerkræ slagtes automatisk af roterende knive, hvor intentionen ikke er tilstede og tasmiyah ikke fremsiges for hvert dyr). De annoncerer nu, at de ikke længere accepterer mekanisk slagtning.
Der er nu fuld enighed om dette i England, og hvis de kan blive enige, så kan vi også her i Danmark, insha'Allah.
"In December 2013 The Halal Food Authority (HFA) made a statement saying that it no longer accepted mechanical slaughtering of poultry. It said that poultry slaughterhouses that employ a mechanical fixed blade would no longer be accredited by the HFA for halal status with effect from 3 March 2014."
