Stop the barbaric slaughter without stunning of animals under the guise of religion !

  • by: Patsy Margaroli
  • recipient: Flemish Minister for Animal Welfare Ben Weyts for Belgium and Janew Potočnik: the European Commissioner for the Environment.

The slaughter of animals without stunning is not only barbaric, it is also very painful as vets proclaim for years. Waiting animals know exactly what is going to happen, they are stressed by the smell of blood, urine, feces, by the cries of fear and pain of the animals slaughtered in front of and before them. Muslims do not have a valid reason to slaughter animals in such a cruel way: apparently nowhere the Koran states that animals may not be stunned for slaughter! As well for the Jews: Kosher slaughter is as reprehensible as halal ! There is no immediate or painless killing for slaughter without stunning. We live in the 21st century. Peoples knowledge has grown such as the means to slaughter animals painless. If you really want to hold on to the tradition of 'cutting throats', then just do it to animals who were stunned before slaughter! That is not only human, it is a form of respect! Or do Muslims nor Jews need to respect animals? I do not believe that. Religion should never be an excuse to let animals suffer ! Stop the slaughter of animals without stunning worldwide. Provide a law that forbids slaughter without stunning in Belgium and Europe, and hopefully the whole world will follow. Do it now !

Dear Sirs,


This application is simple and clear: stop the barbaric and violent slaughter of animals by cutting their throats fully conscious (arteries and trachea) .


It is cruel and inhumane. Using a religion as an excuse for such cruelties against animals today is unacceptable. Slaughter must take place, not only in approved slaughterhouses done under strict supervision, but should always be done under anesthesia ! Never without stunning.


Never, but never, without exception , an animal must be slaughtered without anesthesia/stunning. Humanity is a must when dealing with all living beings. Animals have feelings and they experience pain like humans and (death) fear.


STOP this barbaric practice : it is outdated. No religion can justify such cruelties. No God can demand such cruel acts against animals, only devils… like human monsters/psychopaths.


Yours faithfully ,

Disappointing response of the Belgian Cabinet of Minister Weyts . From Jan. 2015 animals may only be slaughtered in approved slaughterhouses but still unstunned! So the suffering/pain for animals do not change! Mr Weyts is against slaughter without stunning but wants a slow evolution in the matter… well, the animals slaughtered each day in that cruel manner aren't helped with his slackness. Each animal slaughtered in such horrible way is 1 too much ! Keep signing for the European minister...

My goal of 5,000 signatures is almost reached. I'll be glad to close this petition, because every time I see the picture of that gruesome butchered animal my stomach shrinks... But closing our eyes to so much violence and injustice is not an option . We must help the animals against cruel and foolish believers who can cruely kill an animal in the name of a religion and a God without mercy and terribly insensitive. No God can ask for this… only a devil. Believers: open your eyes! Thank you...

This petition sunk low on the list but is no less important! Animals slaughtered in halal or kosher way is so immensely cruel and painful that it should only be banned worldwide: animal slaughter without proper and controlled stunning is not of this time. Religion is NO excuse to torture animals to death. Therefore I ask each and everyone to do an extra effort to make this petition obtain 5000 signatures. The animals are worth your efforts and help! Only together we can make a difference.

Got email from Jewish woman saying animals must be slaughtered painlessly or it's not kosher. Really? Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HF_0SkEl80 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSDEhYB8vMg I see pain, agony, suffering. Stunning animals before slaughtering must be required globally only fully anesthetized animals may be killed anyway. Ritual slaughter according to ancient religions = cruel, inhuman and unworthy for any God. Aren't we civilized in the meantime? CLAIM IT BY LAW!

It's no longer of this time to slaughter animals in a gruesome manner. There are humane ways to slaughter: and that is, at least, stunning the animal before killing it. THERE SHOULD BE LAWS, WORLDWIDE, TO PROTECT ANIMALS AGAINST THIS UNWORTHY CRUEL WAY OF KILLING ! Please keep sharing this petition: the more signatures , the more power we have to reinforce our requirement and protect animals against cruel monsters without a soul, conscience or heart.
