Halal and kosher meat should have to be labelled in the shops so Brits know what they’re eating, a peer said today.
Animal rights activist Baroness Parminter told the Lib Dems conference that people shouldn’t be tricked into buying meat from animals which weren’t stunned before they were killed.
Speaking in Brighton, she said: “I accept the scientific evidence that the practice of killing by the throat, passing it without pre-stunning, does compromise animal welfare.
“So if slaughter’s going to be allowed in this country without pre-stunning to supply our Muslim and Jewish communities then it should be labelled so that people can make an informed choice and it should be for our own home markets, we should not be exporting it.”
