Halal Slaughtering Discontinued in Iceland South Iceland meat processing company Sláturfélag Sudurlands (SS) ceased slaughtering lambs in the Islamic fashion yesterday. CEO of SS Steinthór Skúlason said the decision is mainly based on the reactions of customers after the company’s practices were reported on. Skúlason said SS wishes to respect the opinion of its customers and that the cost of employing a member of the Islamic Association of Iceland to conduct halal slaughtering is also a factor because the sale of halal meat has yet to be guaranteed, ruv.is reports. Yesterday, representatives from SS met with potential buyers from Iraqi Kurdistan who were going to taste the meat. Negotiations have also begun with potential buyers in Jordan. If agreements are reached, SS will reconsider its decision on halal slaughtering. In the last production season, which ended in August, almost 3,000 tons of lamb and mutton were exported from Iceland, which is 30 percent of the country’s overall production. It is believed that a better price can be obtained for halal meat, which is why this experiment was conducted. Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture Ólafur Fridriksson said the government doesn’t provide any special support regarding the export of meat but farmers do get certain payments from the state regardless of whether the meat they produce is exported or not http://www.icelandreview.com/icelandreview/daily_news/?cat_id=29314&ew_0_a_id=367933 |

People power can indeed work! I must also state how truly disappointed I am at animal rights groups forgoing opportunities to promote their cause by fighting sadistic halal slaughter in UK. Wake up, for the sake of the animals. |

I would buy it instead of halal New Zealand lamb. There would less pollution delivering it too, so it's greener (for those that are bothered about global warming/climate change) |

Yes, "on the reactions of customers after the company’s practices were reported on." Yes, so they happily carried on with it (like UK meat retailers) until the public found out what they were up to and then thought, shit, we've been found out and most of our customers don't like it and have stopped buying our meat. It's shit and these fuckers should be put out of business for doing it in the first place. |

So very true as i have not heard anything of the so-called Animal Rights lot. Iceland is a strange one as i don't think there are any muslims there. |
