Caring about animal welfare
IS being concerned about animal welfare racist?
It seems so. Four schools in South Tyneside are now serving halal meat, including Mortimer Road.
The parents were not informed, and this seems to have been kept quiet. Why?
In case you did not know, halal preparation involves the suspension of animals upside-down, the ceremonial slitting of their throats by a knife, and a drawn-out death for the animal through loss of blood.
Switzerland has banned all forms of ritual slaughter altogether.
