Amen to that, mate.

I get all meat from my local Butcher - lol, he love's me as I spend a good £40 a week in there to fuel my bodybuilding.

But, I'll be sure to alert family and friends to Asda's meat.

It's not just ASDA though, all the supermarkets are the same except,

Morrisons, their fresh meat is none halal.

The best way to ge them to do anything is simply write them a letter, and play them for fools by insisting you're a Muslim, and you don't know what meat is what, therefore, they're being 'racist' and disrespecting 'Islam' (IE roll out the red carpet with all the lefty and Islamic propoganda) by NOT telling the customer the way the meat was butchered. Woe and behold, I bet the fcukers sonn mark up which meat is Halal, and which is not....

Asda would be likely to ignore any demo or protest against them, they are quite renowned for employing immigrant staff due to the cheaper wages, in fact iirc their parent company in the US (Walmart) has been fined on more than one occasion? for employing illegal immigrants and paying below minimum wages to them?

It's not only supermarkets like ASDA, check out their suppliers.
Did you know that a very high percentage of Lamb from New Zealand is HALAL.
Here is the response I got from their meat marketing board.............

Thank you for your comment. The New Zealand meat industry aims to meet highest quality, food safety and ethical requirements of all our customers, so the views of customers are very important to us.



With regard to your specific concerns about the animal welfare aspect of halal slaughter process, we would like to stress that in New Zealand , all commercial slaughter of livestock, including halal slaughter, must be undertaken in a humane manner in accordance with New Zealand ’s animal welfare laws. These laws require animals to be stunned immediately prior to slaughter, to ensure an immediate loss of consciousness and prevent animals from feeling any pain during the slaughter process.



In May 2010 the New Zealand government issued the Animal Welfare (Commercial Slaughter) Code of Welfare 2010. The code reiterated the requirement for all animals slaughtered commercially in New Zealand to be stunned prior to slaughter.



The New Zealand industry does not attempt to hide the fact that a significant proportion, but certainly not all, sheep are killed in a halal compliant manner. However, as New Zealand lamb is generally not exported in a ‘retail-ready’ form, the decision to label lamb as halal or non-halal is often beyond our industry’s control.



We would like to point out that not all New Zealand lamb that is exported to the UK is from animals that have been slaughtered in a halal compliant manner. We hope that you are able to identify retailers supplying non-halal New Zealand lamb, so that you can continue to enjoy what we believe is a top-quality, delicious product.



Yours sincerely

From memory about 85% of New Zealand lamb is halal

so it's not worth bothering with.


Slightly off topic, Tesco and ASDA have pork joints @ £2.20 a kilo !!

Guaranteed none halal. :D

Just got my reply from asda its exactly what i was expecting but i made my point,has anyone else made their point to the supermarkets the more that send protests the better anyways here it is.



Thank you for your message. Hello John, Thank you for your contact regarding this issue of Halal meat in our stores. Before I address your response on a more personal level I would like to enclose a brief from our press release. "All ASDA brand products (both halal and non halal) are stunned prior to slaughter. The abattoir featured in the Daily Mail does not supply ASDA branded products. Haji Baba is an independent company that operates halal butchers counters in our five of our stores. Those counters are clearly labelled as halal under the Haji Baba brand name. The method of slaughter is a matter for Haji Baba and their customers. We could consider changing our labelling so that it states that all animals slaughtered for ASDA branded products are stunned, but obviously that is not a quick fix." John I appreciate your anger here, nevertheless only a tiny minority of our stores actually provide a Halal butcher counter. I like you John am a 'proud Christian', but I am also a vegetarian so I hope you do not believe I would allow myself to work for an employer with such a flippant disregard for animal welfare. I have more self respect than that, so on that basis I refuse to 'hang my head in shame'. Animal welfare is a critical focus for all our suppliers and ASDA alike. We are in a multi-cultural society John as you will be full aware and ASDA would not dream to discriminate against the wishes of non-Christian customers, which is why we provide this service in certain stores. I can assure you that your feedback will be passed on to our development teams. If you require any further recourse please do not hesitate to contact me Kind regards, Salvatore TemperaASDA Service TeamTel: 0844 481 5000

How condescending, they have no idea of the slaughtering process obviously.

The stunning lasts for a very short time and the whole point of halal is for the animal

to bleed to death. For this the heart has to beat for as long as possible to pump the blood out,

in other words the animal needs to be kept alive for the heart to keep pumping.

The stunning argument is a red herring.


Besides it's not just about cruelty, it's about having a minority religious practice, in this country, forced on a majority

Christian population without a choice in the matter. It's unfair, unjust and underhand... and has an ulterior motive.

If I was in charge I'd say if you continue to be cruel in the the way you slaughter animals in this country then we won't give you anaesthetic or pain relief if you need surgery of any kind, surely it's only fair?
