food as there is a risk of cross contamination if
a chef accidentally uses the same knife to cut
the different types of meat.

14. Banned in Holland
In a rare show of unity, representatives of one million Dutch
Muslims and 40,000 Jews have condemned the prohibition of
halal and kosher meat as a violation of their religious freedom.
The legislation was tabled by the tiny Animal Rights Party but it
quickly won cross-party support in a country where traditional
religion, especially Islam, has been accused of being out of step
with liberal Dutch values.
"This way of killing causes unnecessary pain to animals. Religious
freedom cannot be unlimited," said Marianne Thieme, the party's
leader.
"For us religious freedom stops where human or animal suffering
begins."
The new ban requires that livestock must be stunned before being
killed, contrary to the Muslim and Jewish "ritual slaughter"
customs that require animals to be fully conscious.
15. Banned in Spain
The Animal Welfare Act 32/2007, of November 7th. Article 6 of the act
concerns slaughter of animals, including ritual slaughter. When the
slaughter of animals is carried out according to the rites of Churches,
religious denominations or communities registered in the Register of
Religious Entities, and the stunning requirements are inconsistent with
the rules of the respective religious rite, the competent authorities will not
demand the compliance with such requirements provided that the
procedure is carried out within the limits referred to in Article 3 of the
Organic Law no. 7 of 5 July 1980 on Religious Freedom.

by King Alaungpaya in the 18th century.
17. Impacts On Food Chains Worldwide

worldwide, the leading business houses, like
McDonalds, kfc etc. have decided to introduce halal meat in

20. Conclusion.
We have gone through all the detailed study on the Halal
system and its
effects on the world. Considering all the aspects of
today’s world, the following can be said-
• Halal is an imp. Tradition in the Islamic religion and its
importance cannot be ignored.
• Despite everything, the business of food industry main
focus is profit.
A question is raised after all this.
Why just target halal? Animals get killed anyway.
