Halal and Kosher slaughter routines do not use an electric shock, and instead slit the animal’s throat whilst fully conscious, leaving it to bleed to death.\r\nWe maintain that this is a shocking and unjustifiable level of animal cruelty.\r\nAny deliberate cruelty to an animal is unjustifiable, and we believe the Prime Minister has a moral obligation to stop this practise in Great Britain.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-04-09T21:10:40.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:53.977Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:44:04.779Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-04-09T21:10:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
