Make sure it's halal!
On a serious note, for the first time ever I asked in restaurant whether their meat was halal/kosher. It wasn't, but if it was I wouldn't have eaten it. I'm 100% against it, and would otherwise be illegal in the UK had it not been given a religious exemption. I'm not squeamish about slaughter (I'll gut a carcass if I need to), but it is inhumane compared to stunning prior to the kill.
I dislike it when I speak to people who try to defend it as better than stunning. I accept that stunning is not perfect and never will be, but cutting the throat of an animal and letting the blood drain whilst uttering some mumbo jumbo over it for no good reason (not exactly like you're hunting to survive) is just fucking psychopathic in my eyes.
A lot like when I hear Sikhs try and defend how wearing a turban gives them just as much protection from falling objects on a building site than even the most basic PPE. Idiots. Cognitive dissonance if I ever saw it.
