	Not much of a fan of Subway. Did not like it when they took the tomato sauce of the meatballs to put on chicken. So not a place I am planning to visit in the future.

	"Food Standards Agency figures in 2012, the first since 2003, show that more than 80% of animals are stunned before slaughter for Halal meat in the UK." From a Parliamentary report. I watched a recent Countryfile programme recently and, from that, I gather that the percentage is higher than 80% in the UK now.

	Subway state that all their halal meat is from animals that are stunned first.

	The main objection from the Muslim community is not that the meat is not bled properly ,but that pork [ham ] is a banned [unclean ] meat and it's presence in any food store contaminates all the food in said outlet . if it will keep the Muslim community happy ,why not let it go ,plenty of other meats they are happy with ,and either Jewish christians ,and other ethnic groups can also ,take their bussiness elsewhere, and,as Errol says ,it's a bit of give and take from everyone.Fred. :-)

	Animals everywhere have little or no rights. The notion of what is 'right' has dogged moral debate for centuries.

	Of course animals have no rights. They can't vote either. Humans should be kind to animals but it's daft to talk about animals having rights. They just don't.

	Guinevere - I enjoy being 'daft' occasionally. Old age has given me a thick skin & I'm a bit deaf too plus my mind wanders.

	I do not know what all the fuss is about Strict Jewish families will have 2 sinks 2 cupboards etc. so as to prepare their kosher and non-kosher foods. These food stores are more than big enough to be able to do the same. And I think many of us on here would be more than just a little surprised to know just how much of the meat we buy in supermakets is already halal. And much of the everyday food we eat is also Halal or Kosher. No by design but it just is. :-D
