A claim has been made that KFC has “accidentally confirmed” that all its UK outlets serve chicken that has been slaughtered under allegedly cruel Islamic methods. The claim is said to come after KFC’s website indicated that most KFC stores in the UK are not Halal.
The shocking revelation came after a Twitter user asked the food chain’s customer service Twitter account to confirm or deny if all of their stores are now serving Halal-only chicken.
Presumably then, if KFC Care Squad has told the truth, Halal – slaughtered chicken is available at Southport’s KFC outlet?
The RSPCA apparently do not agree with the KFC position on Halal and take the following stance, based on concern for proper animal welfare.
Slaughter without pre-stunning (for religious purposes)
‘We’re opposed to the slaughter of any animal without first ensuring it is rendered insensible to pain and distress. We therefore believe that all animals should be stunned prior to slaughter. Evidence clearly indicates that slaughter without pre-stunning can cause unnecessary suffering’.
The animal charity has teamed up with the British Veterinary Association (BVA) to campaign for a change in the law, which currently allows slaughter without pre-stunning for religious purposes. All kosher slaughter for Jews and some halal slaughter for Muslims involves cutting the animal’s throat while they are conscious and able to feel pain. The RSPCA and the BVA are demanding the Government outlaws the practice due to animal welfare fears.
Compassion in World Farming takes this stance saying that Halal slaughtered chickens are NOT “stunned effectively”.
‘Chickens slaughtered for Halal meat are not being stunned effectively. Instead of being rendered instantly unconscious when stunned, they will be receiving a painful electric shock that immobilises them before being slaughtered whilst fully conscious. Chickens are immobilised, meaning they are unable to move, but still aware of what is happening to them and are able to feel pain, when their throat is cut. The workings of the Taser gun are an example of electro-immobilisation.’

FOLLOWING Politicalite’s revelation that KFC – contrary to their website – are stocking ALL of their UK stores with Halal only chicken, Politicalite claimed that the fast-food giant quickly deleted its tweets confirming the fact.
Does politically correct tolerance towards controversial religious slaughter methods overrule proper consideration for animal welfare and unacceptable suffering?
