guardian.co.uk, Monday 20 September 2010

CAMPAIGN: EU singles out Halal and Kosher meat for special treatment.
EU labelling proposals for meat and meat products to ONLY carry the label “Meat from animals slaughtered without stunning”.
Yes, things are brewing as you read this article. Fact: Animals slaughtered without stunning are banned in Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland and recently in New Zealand.
