Do you think stunning an animal with an electric shock does not cause pain? It is the equivalent of clubbing over the head and inevitably causes pain. If you have ever cut yourself with a sharp knife, you know that it takes at least ten seconds or more to even feel anything at all. By that time, all the blood has flowed out of the animal's brain, and it cannot feel anything.

People think that ritual slaughter is more brutal simply because it involves blood. Squeamish, over-emotional ignoramuses should not be making laws, and do more harm than good to the people or animals they think they are protecting..
Is it necessary to mention the name of Allah before slaughtering animals?

It may not be an issue in countries where the majority of people are muslims because it is a norm there to mention the name of Allah when slaughtering animals for the purpose of eating their meat. However, in countries where non-muslims are in majority, this is sometimes an important issue. Some people think that it is not necessary to mention the name of Allah while slaughtering an animal but it is enough if we mention Allah’s name just before eating their meat provided that the animal was not the Forbidden one. This article looks into the issue in the light of the Quran.

Please consider the following verses:

5:4 They ask you (O Prophet) what foods are Permissible. Tell them all good things of life are Lawful to you. As for the hunting animals, the catch of your trained dogs and falcons, as Allah has taught you, is Permissible. Mention Allah's name thereupon. Always be mindful of Allah's Laws. His Law of Requital is swift in reckoning.

6:118 Eat, then, of that over which the name of ALLAH has been mentioned

6:121 And eat NOT of that on which the name of ALLAH has not been mentioned

6:138 And they say, `Such and such cattle and crops are forbidden. None shall eat thereof save whom we please' - so they assert - and there are cattle whose backs are forbidden (for riding), and there are cattle over which they mention not the name of ALLAH, forging a lie against HIM. Soon will HE requite them for that which they have fabricated.

22:28 So that they might see with their own eyes and experience what benefits the Divine System holds for them and mention Allah’s Name collectively during the specified days of Hajj; and over the livestock He has bestowed upon them…

22:34 And to every community We have ordained rites that they might extol the Name of Allah over the sustenance He gave them from the livestock….

22:36 And the camels! We have appointed them among the symbols (of obedience) to Allah; in them is much good for you. So mention Allah’s Name over them when they are drawn up in lines (for sacrifice).
