Is it Kosher Dave?

DESPITE the president-elect of the British Veterinary Association, John Blackwell, calling for a ban on the traditional production of both kosher and halal meat, it appears David “call me medium rare” Cameron knows better and has vowed to defend the religious slaughter of animals on “his watch.”

In other words the terrible Tory is happy for defenceless animals to be strung up and die an agonising death because it’s what Moses would have wanted. 

The British Vets President advised that the practice of slitting animals’ throats and allowing them to bleed to death caused unnecessary suffering - and suggested animals should be stunned first.

Dave the committed carnivore thinks this is absolute poppycock and on his recent trip to Israel said he would never allow a ban on the production of kosher meat. The democratic diva then appeared to get quite excitable and like a poor man’s William Wallace, snarled, “When people challenged kosher Shechita. I have defended it.  I fought as a back-bench Member of Parliament against the last attempt to do something to change this. And there’s no way I’m allowing that to change now I’m Prime Minister. On my watch Shechita is safe in the UK.”

Well that’s a relief! Britain is great again and the world is a far safer place thanks to double-dip Dave and his steely determination to ensure animals are denied any humane treatment whatsoever and systematically killed without anesthetic because an invisible magical sky wizard said that’s the way the cookie’s got to crumble. 

Christ! What a pathetic sight in this ‘enlightened age’ when a supposed leader of men acquiesces to

gruesome barbarity and endorses real pain on real creatures all because of a set of crazed animal death rites conjoured up by a gang of illiterate nomads lost in the wilderness a few centuries and many moons ago dictates that this is the way it’s got to be?  

And let’s be clear this isn’t an issue of religion or creed, it’s an animal rights issue. Several Tory MPs have also called for a ban on a method of slaughter used to kill an estimated 600,000 animals a week in British abattoirs.

But Dave just won’t listen because he believes championing the ‘diet requirements’ of religious groups is far more important than the ‘right’ of an animal not to be butchered in a barbaric and terrifying fashion.
