Please sign this petition urging UKIP to not reverse their policy to ban non-stun slaughter in the UK
On Feb 03 2015 UKIP published a statement on their website in which they said were fully behind the campaign to ban all non-stun slaughter in the UK and that they would make it a UKIP policy.
In the statement they said:
"We see no reason why religious groups should not take into account the concerns of animal welfare when carrying out slaughter.
"We find the government response to this issue is weak, lazy and bordering on spineless. It says it would "prefer" animals to be stunned before slaughter but that it must "respect the rights of Jewish and Muslim communities to eat meat in accordance with their beliefs.”
It has since emerged that due to pressure from certain Jewish groups, UKIP are having second thoughts and may reverse their policy.
We who have signed this petition say that it is UKIP who will seem "weak, lazy and bordering on spineless" if they give in to minority pressure over a subject as important as animal welfare.
Please support and sign this petition as it seems to be the only real chance we have at the moment of getting a ban in place.
