Petition to Prohibit Serving Halal Meat to Non-Muslims Without Prior Consent.
We urge the Government to mandate clear labeling of halal meat, require education on its preparation (including non-stun slaughter), and prohibit serving halal meat to non-Muslims without their explicit consent. This ensures transparency, informed choice, and respect for individual dietary beliefs

Background
Halal meat, often prepared using non-stun slaughter, is served to non-Muslims in schools, restaurants, and institutions without their knowledge or consent. This denies individuals the right to make informed dietary choices and imposes religious practices on others. Non-stun slaughter also raises serious animal welfare concerns, as highlighted by the BVA and RSPCA. Requiring education and consent ensures transparency and protects consumer rights while addressing ethical concerns.
