@nprofile1q... because there's costs involved, and someone is on the receiving end of the costs. You can think of it as a cartel that approves products for a class of people.

@nprofile1q... it's been happening in the US in various ways, but it's a dicey issue since it touches on freedom of religion... and if Halal slaughter was banned for cruelty, kosher slaughter (and torturing chickens for religious purposes) would go with it.

"I'm a Christian motorist"
