Unfortunately this crap isn't limited to internet crazies.
The Netherlands is looking to ban halal and kashrut slaughter, for "animal welfare" reasons. Because a cleanly and quickly slit throat is so much more horrific than "humane" methods like . . . stunning the animal first by puncturing its skull with a captive bolt gun. Obviously religious prejudices have nothing to do with it.
Yes, I know there have been occasional horror stories of "halal" butchers hacking away with dull blades, but then, there's no shortage of evidence of our humane stunning failing, leaving animals conscious on the assembly line to be boiled alive or dismembered or whatever, whichever comes first depending on breed and factory farm location.
