Assalam Alaikum,
Dr. Bilal Philips spoke about the method used in islamic animal slaughter and using comparative methods used in usual non-islamic slaughtering. Below are some points taken from the lecture.
The usual "Humane" way used in the industries to kill animals for consumption:
- electrifying the small animals for consuming
- using stun gun to shot the big animals.
Islamic way of killing animals for consumption:
- Razor sharp knives are used to cut the jugular veins and oesophagus of the animals' necks
- Spinal cords are intact as such, signals from the brains still go to the hearts of the animals
- Animals will die slowly where the blood comes out of the bodies
- Painless death

khadijah,
ReplyDeletei thought animals die quickly (rather than slowly) when slaughtered the Islamic way (cut jugular veisn and aesophagus)?
Salam Mynie! =D
ReplyDeleteThat's a great qn! I didnt really thought about it~
Anyway, I checked and apparently, the animal does not die quickly... But it does not feel pain immediately when the veins are cut... =)
I got it on my next post~
W'salam,
