Had to do a double take when I read the local news today!

I haven't got too much to say here without spoiling the contents of the link, so just have a chuckle at this and feel free to post anything amusing that pops into your head.

This. It's just to do with getting the name shared and raise publicity, surely?

I don't think there's any real expectation the name will be changed because it reflects the Chinese duck down trade

IF only PETA took action against things like unstunned slaughter, wholesale animal cruelty and so on...

I dunno, reading this;

http://www.peta.org.uk/blog/the-truth-about-halal-...

It simply seems to be "killing... BAAAAAAD" and diverts to all slaughter whilst skirting the issue of halal slaughter.

PETA said:
Don’t get us wrong, as long as animals are still killed for food, stopping the most inhumane slaughter methods – in which cows and other animals have their throats cut while they’re still conscious – would be a step in the right direction, but even in conventional abattoirs, millions of animals are improperly stunned in the UK every year and face the fatal incision awake, alert and terrified.

And let’s not forget that the actual slaughter, whether the animal is stunned and killed or just killed, is only part of the long and blatantly cruel process of modern meat production. At the “best” of times, meat is a product of a bloody and violent industry with no respect for other living beings who value their lives in the same way that we do

So they disagree with killing all animals in anyway - but don't criticise halal methods enough - is that your point?

This is a load of pish, but typical of PETA and the animal rights movement, whose tactics range from scaring children to exhuming corpses. The UK meat industry is very rigorously regulated, and any transgressors, in any part of the chain, will be landed on from a great height. Having said that, slaughter carried out under religious direction is indeed an appalling practice.
