Cruel animal transportation - stunning before slaughtering can’t Halal, instead haram

Strict compliance of article 51 A of Indian Constitution, as fundamental duties –

Cruelty towards animals, including in their transportation, goes against the

principles of ethical treatment in Islam. In Islamic teachings, the concept of
"halal" (permissible) and "haram" (forbidden) extends beyond just food and
encompasses ethical treatment of animals. Practices that cause unnecessary
harm, stress, or cruelty to animals are considered contrary to Islamic values.
The mistreatment of animals during transportation, such as overcrowding, lack
of proper ventilation, and rough handling leading to injury or suffering, would
likely be considered haram in Islam due to the principle of kindness and
compassion towards all creatures. Islamic teachings emphasize the importance
of treating animals with care, mercy, and respect.
Efforts to ensure the well-being and humane treatment of animals during
transportation align with the broader principles of Islamic ethics and
compassion towards all living beings.

2007, read with WP (C) No. 23 of 2016, being judicial advisory:
Chapter 7.1.2 of the guidelines of OIE, recognizes five inter-
nationally recognized freedoms for animals, such as:
(i) freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition.
(ii) freedom from fear and distress.
(iii) freedom from physical and thermal discomfort.
(iv) freedom from pain, injury and disease and
(v) freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour.
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 com-
fortable, upright position. For both humane and safety reasons, plants which
conduct ritual slaughter should install modern upright restraining equipment.
The census of livestock in Delhi or any region is typically conducted for administra-
tive and statistical purposes to understand the population, demographics, and over-
all management of animals. It doesn't directly relate to the permission or regulations
regarding animal slaughtering for domestic consumption or export.
In India, regulations concerning the slaughter of animals for meat consumption and
export are governed by various laws and regulations, including state-specific rules
and national legislation like the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the
Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
Each state in India might have its own regulations regarding the slaughter of animals
for consumption and export. Additionally, regulations concerning the export of meat
products outside India also involve compliance with international standards and
agreements.
The slaughtering of animals for domestic consumption or export, especially for com-
mercial gain and profit, is subject to specific rules, licenses, and compliance with
animal welfare and food safety standards. These regulations aim to ensure humane
treatment of animals, hygienic slaughtering practices, and compliance with export
requirements.
The permissions and legality of slaughtering animals for consumption and export
can be complex and subject to various regulations, so it's essential to consult the
specific laws and regulations in Delhi or the concerned region for accurate and de-
tailed information.

Streamlining of Halal Certification Process for Meat and Meat Products:

"Halal" and "haram" are terms used in
Islam to classify what is permissible
(halal) and what is forbidden or prohib-
ited (haram) according to Islamic law
(Sharia).
Halal:
This term refers to things or actions that are permissible or lawful according
to Islamic teachings. It encompasses various aspects of life, including food,
behavior, and business dealings. For example, halal food adheres to specific
guidelines, such as the avoidance of pork and alcohol, and the use of humane
methods in animal slaughter.
Haram:
Haram, on the other hand, denotes what is forbidden or prohibited in Islam.
Actions or items labeled as haram are considered sinful or unlawful according
to Islamic teachings. This can include actions like consuming alcohol, eating
pork, engaging in dishonest business practices, or engaging in certain behav-
iors or relationships that are prohibited by Islamic law.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) oversees food regulations
in India. The Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Busi-
nesses) Regulations, 2011, are part of the legal framework governing food busi-
nesses in the country. However, these regulations primarily focus on food safety
and hygiene standards rather than religious or cultural practices related to animal
slaughter. Regarding stunning before animal slaughtering, while the FSSAI regula-
tions emphasize standards for the hygiene and safety of food processing, they might
not specifically mandate stunning before slaughter. The regulations primarily focus
on ensuring that food businesses maintain hygienic conditions, follow good manu-
facturing practices, and meet safety standards during various stages of food pro-
cessing, including animal slaughter.
However, specific requirements or regulations related to stunning before animal
slaughtering might exist at the state or local level, and these could potentially con-
flict with traditional halal practices. In such cases, there might be discussions or
debates between religious practices and food safety regulations.
It's essential to review both the FSSAI regulations and any additional local or state
regulations that might specifically address stunning before animal slaughter to get
a comprehensive understanding of the legal requirements and their implications on
religious or cultural practices related to animal slaughter in India.
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Slaughter House) Rules, 2001, which were
amended in 2010, include provisions that mandate stunning before animal slaugh-
tering in India. These rules were put in place to ensure the humane treatment of
animals during slaughter and are aimed at improving animal welfare standards in
slaughterhouses.
The amended rules include guidelines for the proper handling and slaughter of ani-
mals in registered slaughterhouses. Among the provisions is the requirement for
 6

stunning animals before slaughter to minimize suffering and ensure a more humane
process.
However, these regulations might conflict with traditional halal methods that empha-
size specific religious practices during animal slaughter, where stunning before
slaughter is not part of the process.
This requirement has led to debates and discussions within religious communities,
particularly among those following Islamic dietary laws, as stunning before slaugh-
ter might not align with their religious practices.
The implementation and adherence to these rules can vary across regions and
slaughterhouses in India. While the rules aim to improve animal welfare, they can
pose challenges for communities that follow specific religious guidelines for animal
slaughter.

authority so concerned, for the purposes of their respective duties under them.
(6) The Commissioner of Food Safety and Designated Officer shall exercise the same
powers as are conferred on the Food Safety Officer and follow the same procedure

therewith contained in any other law for the time being in force or in any instrument
having effect by virtue of any law other than this Act.

Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regu-
lations, 2011:
Rule 4.0 Slaughter:
Animals are slaughtered by being first stunned and then exsanguinated (bled out).
Stunning can be affected through asphyxiating the animals with carbon 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 in-
stantaneous insensibility.
Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960: Treating animals cruelly,

reason of its age or any disease, infirmity, wound, sore or other cause, is
unfit to be so employed or, being the owner, permits any such unfit animal

(c) willfully and unreasonably administers any injurious drug or injurious
substance to any animal or willfully and unreasonably causes or attempts
to cause any such drug or substance to be taken by any animal.

Besides, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust, their website: jamiathalaltrust.org

Stunning of Animals prior to Slaughtering:
Due to possibilities of causing grievous injuries to the animal before
slaughtering and the requirements of Islamic Shariah which orders to apply
methods which cause least amount of pain stunning of animals is not rec-
ommended. Most of the Islamic countries don't accept stunning.
Whereas, National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies, granted Accredita-
tion No. PC 034, overruling legal mechanism of animal slaughtering.
1. Confiscate all objectionable materials, freezing all transactions, bank ac-
counts, movable and immovable assets, including passports.
2. Ban all materials on internet, including website, if any.
Restoration of five freedoms for animals, preventing halal certification, and export.
It would be pertinent to mention here that:
Animals are being brought to Gazipur Slaughter House, violating the surplus census
of animals, as shifting in non-approved goods transport vehicles as haram process.
1. The census of animals, never allow their slaughtering, keep-
ing in view, their 5 freedoms, right to life.
2. Rule 3 of the Veterinary Council of India Standard of Profes-
sional Conduct, Etiquette and Code of Ethics, for Veterinary
Practitioners Regulations, 1992, never allow veterinarian to
issue transport permit and fit to slaughter.
3. All 11 DSPCA are non-functional, along with State AW Board
4. Stunning process before slaughtering, Gazipur claim is
wrong as per Halal certification, keeping in view Ritual
slaughtering process, especially 3rd shift for export.
5. Compendium prepared but never followed, keeping in view,
standing orders of Delhi Police, bearing No. 31 of 2022, read
with orders passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and Delhi
High Court, related to animal transportation.
6. Gazipur Slaughter House meant for domestic consumption
then why 3rd shift of slaughtering, keeping in view demand
and supply of local consumption?
7. Animals are being abused during their shifting towards
slaughterhouses, adopting cruel haram methods, their meat
can’t be treated as Halal.
Immediate attention: Halal versus haram- Installation animal scanner at each toll Plaza
Halal versus haram: Cruel animal transportation as goods, breaching public
trust, violating section 47 of IPC, read with section 2 and 3 of the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and article 51A of Indian Constitution.

tion 10 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, educating community
under section 9(k) of said Act.
2. Regulate Central Motor Vehicle (Eleventh Amendments) Rules, 2015 and Cen-
tral Motor Vehicle (13th Amendment) Rules, 2016, read with the Indian Stand-
ards: Transport of Livestock – Code of Practice.
