<p>No it categorically doesn't. I quoted the regulation. IF it is to be halal then it must have its throat cut and it must be stunned, and the stunning has to comply with regulations about that. But it doesn't have to be halal by regulation. FYI what I posted was a cut and paste from the regulation and it clearly has the word "unless" in it. So there is a choice.<br><br>
Of course if you use an "approved method which renders the animal instantaneously insensitive" it wouldn't be halal, but so what? The government does not require meat to be halal, and it doesn't require animals to be stunned.<br><br>
If people wan halal slaughter to stop their target should be the meat processors not the MPI</p>

<p>Yeah I think that was Hydro's point. That the animal must be stunned if it's going to be slaughtered halal-styles.</p>
<p>I think it goes without saying that stunning is not necessary if you're going to kill the thing instantly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honestly I don't have a problem with the NZ method. I know that to be halal they must be conscious but I certainly don't remember lambs coming down the shoot before they had their throats cut like they are anything but completely out. I guess that's why lamb etc from NZ is very much in a grey area when it comes to halal or not.</p>

<p>From my time at the freezing works, it never looked cruel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's probably about time that the EU came into line with NZ law and removed their religious exceptions.</p>
<p>Pretty backward eh.</p>
