No coż, brytyjscy handlarze mięsem są przepełnieni oburzeniem. Skąd teraz wezmą towar???

Zwykle wydawaliśmy Żydów Niemcom, paląc ich tylko od czasu do czasu w stodołach... A teraz chcemy ich zagłodzić. I to razem z muzułmanami!!! Monthy Python... Byłby, ale to tragiczne :-(((

Pozdrawiam

Poland - European Jewish Association calls on Poland to reverse a ruling on Kosher ban

01 Dec 2012

The head of the European Jewish Association called on Poland on Wednesday to reverse a ruling that bans kosher and halal animal slaughter.

Poland‘s Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that such ritual animal slaughter violates the constitution and animal treatment laws.

"Kosher butchering is essential for sustenance of Jewish life and its ban hurts Jews not only in Poland but in other places across Europe," Rabbi Menachem Margolin wrote in a letter to Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski.

"It has been proven scientifically, that kosher butchering does not allow the animal to feel pain," Margolin wrote.

Margolin also called upon European Union leaders to help to reverse the Polish ruling, and said the issue would be discussed at an inter-faith conference in the EU parliament on Thursday.

Poland‘s highest court ruled Tuesday that halal and kosher ritual slaughter will be banned, starting next year. The ruling puts Poland into conflict with the European Union, which requires animals to be stunned before they are killed, but has made an exception starting next year for ritual slaughter.

Polish Attorney General Andrzej Seremet had asked the tribunal to review the issue at the request of animal rights activists, who said the methods caused animals unnecessary pain.

Seremet said the Agriculture Ministry violated the constitution when it allowed halal and kosher slaughter houses to kill animals without stunning them first, as is also required by Polish law.

Muslims and Jews kill animals for meat in ritual slaughter with a single quick cut to the throat that they believe minimizes the animal‘s pain and suffering.

There are some 20 slaughter houses throughout Poland that kill animals using halal and kosher methods to provide meat for the country‘s small Muslim and Jewish communities and for export to countries such as Turkey and Israel.

The court's ruling could spark a dispute with the EU, which is due to introduce rules defending the practice of ritual slaughter on the grounds of religious freedom.

The ban will come into force at the end of the year, and comes after the court found that a 2004 amendment, brought in to bring Polish law closer that of the EU, allowing the cutting of an animal's throat without it first being stunned was in contravention of both a 1997 Polish animal welfare law and the constitution.

Poland has tiny Jewish and Muslim communities, and has only 18 abattoirs registered to carry out religious slaughter. While much of their produce is exported animal-welfare campaigners claimed that some meat deemed unclean by religious laws enters the wider food chain and consumed by people unaware they are eating meat from religious slaughter.

But whether the ban will remain is moot. On January 1, EU regulations permitting religious slaughter come into effect, and Stanislaw Kalemba, Poland's agriculture minister, said that EU law took precedence over Polish law.

Despite the possibility of it being rescinded, the ban was met with dismay by Polish Muslims but they also pledged to respect it.

This law cannot be justified in any way;
