The father of foreign secretary Boris Johnson has called for “cruel” halal meat to be either labelled or banned.

Stanley Johnson, a former Conservative MEP, author and journalist, wrote in the Independent that he would be “happy to see” halal meat excluded from the UK after leaving the EU.

Currently, there is a “religious exception” to the EU’s 2009 Slaughter Regulation requiring all animals to be stunned before slaughter.

This allows for halal meat, a market worth £2.6bn in Britain alone, to be killed by hand without being stunned first.

RSPCA, Royal Society Prevention for Cruelty To Animals award winner, he must know of what he talks. I've looked into the matter some. You need to know a few things but I think he's probably right. I don't know about Kosher, etc. I think it is more humane.

Kosher is the same rule and exception to law.

"Stunning" refers to the methods of attempting to render an animal or bird unconscious prior to slaughter....

These methods are contrary to Jewish law, because an animal intended for food must be healthy and uninjured at the time of shechita. The above stunning methods injure the animal, making it treifa (non-kosher and thus prohibited). If the stunning kills the animal it makes it neveila (an animal which has not been shechted) and is forbidden as food for Jews....
