[mellowyellow]

Officials from the Grand Mosque in Paris, the Grand Mosque in Lyon and the Great Mosque of Evry revealed in a statement that the French authorities have adopted new conditions for slaughtering poultry that make it impossible to respect the doctrinal and basic principles of halal ritual slaughter as of July 2021.

Religious officials met at the beginning of this week at the Grand Mosque in Paris to discuss ways to educate public authorities about the tragic situation that French Muslims may face after the publication of these new instructions.

Tragic situation? For whom? Certainly not the chicken. Halal food is that which adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran. The Islamic form of slaughtering animals or poultry, dhabiha, involves killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe. Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass.

In the UK, 58 percent of Halal meat comes from animals which have been stunned before slaughter and certified Halal. The Jewish custom follows a similar practice but the animals slaughtered under the Shechita (for Kosher) are not stunned.

Chickens all over France are shouting, "Having your throat slashed is not clucking funny!"

Thats how I have always butchered mine...
Have an inverted cone, when you press their wings in and pull the head down through,
They just calmly sit still, quick flick of the knife and half the time they wont even kick once...
Granny always wacked the head off and dang what a ruckus would ensue...
