glad to see you sister Jennifer and may Allah reward you for your points.


jazakum Allahu khirans sister Muslimah and Musleema for your thoughts too.


And since brother CC will come and ask what is the Islamic method for slaughtering animals:) so I thought to bring this point here.


The Islamic mode of slaughtering an animal requires the following conditions to be met:


<b>mentioning the name of Allah before slaughtering.. Then, </b>


1- The animal has to be slaughtered with a sharp object (knife) and in a fast way so that the pain of slaughter is minimized.


2- Zabiha is an Arabic word which means ‘slaughtered’. The ‘slaughtering’ is to be done by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck causing the animal’s death without cutting the spinal cord.


3- <b>The blood has to be drained completely before the head is removed.</b> (which is not the case when using machine) The purpose is to drain out most of the blood which would serve as a good culture medium for micro organisms. The spinal cord must not be cut because the nerve fibres to the heart could be damaged during the process causing cardiac arrest, stagnating the blood in the blood vessels.


Salam


Wael.
