Why does the supply of halal meat outstrip demand?
"The Daily Mail has claimed again that 70% of New Zealand lamb sold in the UK is halal. With just 4.8% of the country being Muslim, why is this the case?"
"Following up on the Sun's story about Pizza Express chicken being "secretly" halal (the detail is listed on the website and not on the menu), the Daily Mail has reheated a 3-year-old story that "millions" are unknowingly buying the ritually slaughtered meat."
"The article claims that more than "70% of all New Zealand lamb in supermarkets is from halal abattoirs".
One of its main gripes is as follows:"
"51% of the lamb, 31% of chicken, and 7% of the beef slaughtered in this country – from a total of 16m animals per week – is now 'religiously killed', according to the FSA.
That's far more than the Muslim community, which constitutes around five percent of Britain's population, can possibly consume."
"If that's the case then why is so much halal meat being produced?"
Please take a few moments to ask UKIP to keep their policy to ban non-stun slaughter which they are now seeking to reverse due to pressure from Jewish Groups.
