The RSPCA is concerned there are greater risks of animal suffering during this type of religious slaughter than for conventional slaughter. Fortunately, the number of animals involved is a tiny percentage of all animals killed. The method is distressing to the animal due to:
?increased restraint
?injury caused by the slaughter methods
?subsequent bleeding out.
