Explaining how stunners work to more cattle slaughterhouses in Turkey

May 31, 2023

More and more Halal consumers in Turkey are de-bunking the myth that Halal means slaughter with just a knife, and realizing Halal means “food safe to eat” and stunning is perfectly acceptable as it is just be a part of the slaughter process to make it less scary and painful.

🐖🤔 En waarom kiest u eigelijk niet voor het welzijn en belang van de varkens , @_NVWA en kiest u de kant van de mens? Dit is géén retorische vraag overigens. Veel mensen willen daar een antwoord op! #varken #dierwaardig

👎🐖 Tegen belangen van mensen leggen belangen van dieren het altijd af… En deze keer dus ook!
“…. zoals belangen van het dier, belangen van de varkenshouder … “
