"Mr President, the ritual slaughter of animals, which causes them extreme suffering, is inconsistent with our civilisation. I do not believe that any religion which aims to do good could require something like this from its followers. Such slaughter is, rather, a custom of savage and primitive tribes, and we should not agree to it. If religious toleration is to be used as an argument, then we should add that there are religions in the world which practice the ritual killing of people. Are we also going to agree to that? Is that our community of values? Rejection of Amendment 28 would have given at least the possibility for maintaining or introducing a ban on such practices in particular Member States. Adoption of Amendment 28 reveals the true, bloodthirsty face of this Parliament. I voted in favour of the report as a whole, but I did so only because other provisions improve the situation of animals designated for slaughter."@en1
