Religious slaughter evidence

[Napoléon]

However the problem with imagining is that doesn't it stand up to argument when Jews/Muslims claim that at least one scientific study show's that it is more humane technique than stunning.

Tell them that when I whip out my knife and start hacking away at their throats. They'll change their tune.

You do realise this is a blatently pro-muslim site? Bias also factors into arguments.

I came across this article on a different website and although useful and reputable to quote it doesn't explain how they concluded their findings.

I'm sure the info you need is out there somewhere. Perhaps if you are REALLY curious you could write to the organisation or e-mail them. I'm sure such an organisation wouldn't make these claims without the evidence you seek.

Although one should be able to assume that due to the nature of their organisation they would act according to the best interests of the animals not towards any prejudices they have towards a religion or it's rituals.

Exactly.

I am still supprised there isn't more widely available information on the internet regarding this controverscial issue, most sources I found were in favour of religious slaughter. Not so surprisingly they were nearly if not all from religious site/forums. I had hoped I would find more scienctific studies condemning the practice and explaining exactly why.

I'm curious about this also. The pro muslim sites are blatently bribing google so that their shitty information comes up before the real deal

As far as suffering goes. Well, it's illegal for anyone else to slaughter an animal in such a manner.

Rhythm has the best point, there are double standards as far as the law is concerned when it comes to animal welfare and slaughtering animals. In fact when arguing about this topic in the past, this seems to be the strongest angle against the apparent 'humane-ness' of halal and kosher foods.
