Letter: Tell the customer how their dinner was killed

From Shimon Cohen, Shechita UK, London, UK

Danny Chambers wants all meat labelled as stunned or unstunned at slaughter (17 February, p 22).

Shechita UK fully supports, and always has done, the notion that consumers have every right to know what they are eating.

However, if true consumer information is to be ensured, they need to be informed of the method of stunning at slaughter: captive bolt shooting, gassing, electrocution by tongs or electric water bath, low atmospheric pressure stunning, or any of the other approved methods. This proposal would be accepted by religious communities and animal welfare groups alike.
