Denmark Bans Kosher and
Halal Animal Slaughter
“Animal rights come before religion”
ARUBA TRAVELLER - Wednesday, July 29 2015 DENMARK enacted a sweeping ban on the religious
slaughter of animals Monday, prompting a furious back-
lash from Jewish and Muslim community representa-
tives. The ban, which requires slaughterhouse workers
to stun animals before killing them, will now extend to
religious communities that were previously afforded an
exemption. “Animal rights come before religion,” Danish
minister for agriculture and food Dan Jørgensen told
Denmark’s TV2.
Activists with Danish Halal called the restriction a “clear
interference in religious freedom”, while Israeli chief
rabbi David Lau slammed the law as “a serious and severe
blow to the Jewish faith and to the Jews of Denmark”.
Both observant Jews, under kashrut laws and Muslims,
under halal laws, will not eat meat unless the animal
has been killed with a single slice to the neck, with the
intention to minimize its pain.
