PARIS, KOMPAS.TV French presidential candidate from the far-right Marine Le Pen vows to ban the ritual slaughter of animals for halal meat if he is elected.
This raises concerns, the ban is only the beginning of steps to make Muslims and Jews in France feel undesirable.
Launching Associated Press , Friday (15/4/2022), Le Pen stated that the animal must be knocked out before being slaughtered by reasons for fulfilling animal welfare rights.
This reason cannot be accepted by Muslims and Jews who believe that stupefying an animal would cause suffering to that animal no need.
They say that the ritual of slaughtering animals for meat is halal more human.
UNITED POLITICAL FORCES TO FACE THE RIGHT
Invading the way we eat is a violation of our privacy and it is very seriously, says Sarah Gutman, a Jew in Paris.
Sarah and her husband even thought about leaving France if right-wing government meddles in kosher, or halal meat the jewish version.
