As a retired farmer, I think that these things should be known....

We want proper labelling for our food. Did you know that ALL beef and lamb imported into this country from New Zealand is Halal?
I don't have to eat it thank goodness, but I do think that it should be marked so others had the option of eating it or not. I believe that an animal should be stunned before it's killed, so it suffers less - what do you think?

"Anna Hill hears all New Zealand lamb and beef is halal, but isn't labelled as such"
that doesnt really mean its true, i mean ive just heard same thing (from yourself) but again there is nothing to say its true.

I have found links that say 90% but again thats not ALL

I`ve seen huge holding ships off the coast of Western Australia which used to take live sheep to the Middle East. I always thought that the meat was exported live because the receiving countries like to slaughter it themselves, thus ensuring it`s halal (I think there might be some sort of ritual involved). Therefore, the meat wouldn`t be halal when it`s exported if it`s already killed and packaged. Maybe they do that now though but it didn`t used to be the case.
