I never said that the stunning method was any more humane I just said that killing animals for meat should be done as humanly as possible because of the taste of the meat perhaps the stunning methods could be improved

During the French revolution it was recorded that some of the victims of the guillotine after beheading registered shock and pain I don't know how true that is but if you still have oxygen in your brain then given how long it takes the brain to die it is possible

We should eat more vegetables

Well the empirical evidence would actually suggest that halal/kosher method is more humane.

Well going on simply anecdotal evidence it is often said deep wounds from very sharp blades are often said to not hurt immediately and shock, as in medical shock from blood loss, will prevent pain from being felt.

Statement on this case by Cheshire County Council, released 7 July 2008:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cheshire County Council today (Monday) suspended a teacher at Alsager High School whilst inquiries into allegations of unprofessional and inappropriate teaching practice take place.

The inquiries will involve parental complaints about methods of education on the Islamic faith and also ongoing inquiries centred around other practice issues.

It should be stressed that suspension is not in itself a disciplinary measure.

Children’s Services Director Joan Feenan said: “This authority is naturally concerned about complaints we have received from parents.

“Together with the school, we will be thoroughly investigating those complaints, in a careful and considered manner, and informing parents of the conclusions reached.

“Educating children in Christian and other religious beliefs is part of the national curriculum in secular schools and I’m sure that the great majority of our parents welcome any efforts to further mutual understanding.

“Having said that this authority also accepts without question that such teaching should be carried out with awareness, sensitivity and sound common sense.

Added Mrs Feenan: “Alsager is a high performing school with very supportive parents. I am confident that this matter will be resolved equitably".
