Ritual Slaughter: Meat of Camel, not hygienic for human consumption as food-
Ritual slaughter is slaughter done according to the religious
requirements of either the Jewish (sachet) or Muslim (Halal) and
Hindu (Jhatka) religious faith. The animal is slaughtered, with /
without being stunned, with a razor-sharp knife. When the cut is
done correctly, the animal appears not to feel it. From an animal
welfare standpoint, the major concerns during ritual slaughter are
the stressful and cruel methods of restraint (holding) that are used
in some plants. Progressive slaughter plants use devices to hold the
animal in a comfortable, upright position. For both humane and
safety reasons, plants which conduct ritual slaughter should install
modern upright restraining equipment.

dioxide, shooting them with a gun or a captive bolt pistol, or shocking them
with electric current.
Rule 4.1. Stunning:
Stunning before slaughter should be mandatory. By inducing
unconsciousness and insensibility, stunning can avoid and minimise
reactions of fear and anxiety as well as pain, suffering and distress among the
animals concerned. Stunning methods induce temporary loss of
consciousness and rely on prompt and accurate sticking procedures to cause
death.
It is important that the equipment utilized for stunning and slaughter is
maintained in good working condition and that all operators involved are well
trained and have a positive attitude towards the welfare of animals.
Electrical stunning consists of passing electricity through the brain to
produce instantaneous insensibility.

Rotting meat attracts flies, rodents, and other pests that carry diseases.
These pests can spread illnesses not just among humans but also
among other animals in the vicinity.
Impact on Soil Quality:
If meat waste seeps into the ground, it can degrade soil quality, affecting
plant growth and potentially harming the environment in the long term.
Public Nuisance:
Odor and Aesthetics:
Rotting meat emits foul odors that can be unbearable for the community,
affecting their quality of life and making the area uninhabitable.
Safety Concerns:
Having exposed meat in public areas poses safety risks, especially if it
attracts scavenging animals or if contaminated waste is mishandled by
unaware individuals.
Negative Impact on Businesses and Tourism:
The presence of such a public health hazard can negatively impact local
businesses and deter tourists, affecting the economy of the area.
Addressing such issues promptly is crucial to prevent the spread of diseases,
safeguard public health, and mitigate the adverse environmental impact.
Proper disposal and adherence to health and sanitation regulations are
essential to prevent these hazards.
