Happy Meals not Halal Meals


To: Steve Easterbrook, CEO of McDonalds UK

We, the undersigned, call upon Steve Easterbrook, CEO of McDonalds UK to immediately cease the use of halal products in McDonald’s outlets and franchises throughout the United Kingdom.

Whilst we recognize that for a great many British citizens, rules for the preparation of food is defined by religious belief, halal is a deeply offensive method of slaughter to the majority of British citizens. We, the undersigned, would like to take this opportunity to call to Mr. Easterbrook’s attention that the preparation of an animal destined for the halal plate is cruel, causes the animal undue distress and suffering and has been decried by such notable bodies as the RSPCA, PeTA, the British Farmer’s Union, Compassion in World Farming and Viva. In addition, the Government’s own advisory body, the Farm Animal Welfare Council, has recently called for the banning of religious slaughter.

Western law states that an animal must be stunned before slaughter; the halal animal has its throat slit whilst fully conscious and alert with no pre-stunning whatsoever. It is then left to die from slow, disorientating exsanguination. It is claimed that because an animal does not cry out when subjected to this method, that it does not feel pain. One would think that the lack of audible protest is more likely due to the fact that the vocal chords have been severed, rendering the animal physically unable to cry out.

Whilst we recognize the freedom of religious expression, we, the undersigned, feel it deeply offensive and immoral to patronize an establishment which openly condones such blatant animal cruelty. We, the undersigned, find it impossible to enjoy McDonalds fare whilst wondering if the person seated opposite us is eating meat that has been slaughtered in a manner unacceptable to the majority of the public. McDonalds provide several dietary choices for those who feel it unacceptable to eat humanely slaughtered meat and we would call upon McDonalds to offer those dishes to such people as a suitable alternative.

We, the undersigned, hereby pledge that we will not be giving our patronage to McDonalds again until we have an affirmation that the sale of halal products has been suspended.

Sincerely,


Sign the Petiition here

McDonalds selling Halal Big Macs

Daleks refueling

You would have thought that McDonalds would have learned their lesson from their experiences in Australia when they started selling Halal food without letting their non-Muslim customers know.

But so greedy are the sellers of this pseudo food to drag in every last customer, even the bomb planters, that they have been carrying out trials in Greater Manchester on feeding us halal burgers. I wonder if their True Brit customers know?

The move has of course been welcomed by the the Cult of the Dead Paedophile zombies but has naturally received a mixed response from the True Brits who for some strange reason buy their pseudo food.

A McDonalds spokesman said: "There has been some concern regarding halal products among the Sikh population.

"Animal welfare is very important to McDonalds. Ritual slaughter is something we would not consider.

"At the point of slaughter a qualified Muslim slaughter officer offers a prayer.
"

You can read the article here in The Asian News. Check out their last lieing line.

Halal meat is from animals that have been stunned and bled facing Mecca and blessed using the name of Allah.

Only the British National Party will outlaw the cruel practice of Halal food slaughter and impose massive taxes on the importation of halal food into Our Country. Pay the tax, become a vegetarian or go play Hegira.

Perhaps True Brits should let McDonalds know that if they persist with their plan to feed the proceed of tortured animals to people, then they can just supply the Moslems. The Brits will go make a bacon sandwich instead of eating their garbage.

What experience and history teach is this -- that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
