Use of captive bolt stunner at cattle abattoir near Düzce, Turkey

February 13, 2024

A cow in a turkish slaughterhouse is stunned with a stunning device

Another halal cattle slaughterhouse in Turkey is in favour of pre-stunning cattle before bleeding them out, so that the animal is rendered unconscious (insensitive to pain) before being hoisted and cut. Asalet from EonA was at this Turkish cattle slaughterhouse to train the workers and provide them with a captive bolt stunner last year. The manager had requested our help … [Read more...] about Use of captive bolt stunner at cattle abattoir near Düzce, Turkey

Rebutal to Dr. Katme’s illogical claim that rendering animals unconscious prior to slaughter is haram and that slaughter on fully conscious animals is ethical

December 30, 2023

the throat of a cow hoisted alive is cut by a worker in the slaughterhouse

There are many people who claim to know best what products and actions are halal (allowed) or haram (forbidden) by Islam law. Unfortunately not all people, even ones that appear important, necessarily have the expertise or the experience of what is taking place on the ground to justify having such strong and self-assured opinions. Many of these strong opinions are simply … [Read more...] about Rebutal to Dr. Katme’s illogical claim that rendering animals unconscious prior to slaughter is haram and that slaughter on fully conscious animals is ethical

September 20, 2023

Meeting the influential theologian about Islam

Asalet from Eyes on Animals met with Islam theologian professor Dr. Faruk Beşer. He is a respected and influential theologian. Asalet told him about the suffering he sees inside Turkish abattoirs and the difference stunning animals (rendering them unconscious) prior to tethering, shackling and cutting their throats, makes to the level of fear and pain they experience. They … [Read more...] about Meeting the influential theologian about Islam and the need to accept stunning in Turkish abattoirs

EonA exposes hypocrisy by Gimdes, a Halal certifying company in Turkey, that produces a booklet on “Halal” meat

August 29, 2023

During our work in Turkey, visiting cattle and sheep slaughterhouses, we sadly often see horrendous animal suffering. Animals have their throats slit while fully conscious and sentient, but are also chained up by one leg and hoisted fully off the floor or have their legs tied up or are rotated on their backs, often after being electric prodded or very roughly … [Read more...] about EonA exposes hypocrisy by Gimdes, a Halal certifying company in Turkey, that produces a booklet on “Halal” meat
