                                                     ...scientific reason...



Al Shaddad Bin Aous has quoted this tradition of the Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) "God calls for mercy in everything, so be
merciful when you kill and when you slaughter, sharpen your
blade to relieve its pain".
Many allegations have been made that Islamic slaughter is not
humane to animals. However, Professor Schultz and his
colleague Dr. Hazim of the Hanover University, Germany,
proved through an experiment, using an electroencephalograph
(EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) that *Islamic slaughter is
THE humane method of slaughter* and captive bolt stunning,
practiced by the Western method, causes severe pain to the
animal. The results surprised many.
Experimental Details:
1. Several electrodes were surgically implanted at various
points of the skull of all animals, touching the surface of
thebrain.
2. The animals were allowed to recover for several weeks.
3. Some animals were slaughtered by making a swift, deep
incision with a sharp knife on the neck cutting the jugular
veins and carotid Arteries of both sides; as also the trachea
and esophagusHalal Method.
4. Some animals were stunned using a captive bolt pistol
humane slaughter by the western method.
5. During the experiment, EEG and ECG were recorded on all
animals to record the condition of the brain and heart during
the course of slaughter and stunning.
Results and Discussion:
I - Halal Method
1. The first three seconds from the time of Islamic slaughter
as recorded on the EEG did not show any change from the
graph before slaughter, thus indicating that the animal did not
feel any pain during or immediately after the incision.
2. For the following 3 seconds, the EEG recorded a condition of
deep sleep - unconsciousness. This is due to a large quantity
of blood gushing out from the body.
3. After the above mentioned 6 seconds, the EEG recorded zero
level, showing no feeling of pain at all.
4. As the brain message (EEG) dropped to zero level, the heart
was still pounding and the body convulsing vigorously (a reflex
action of the spinal cord) driving maximum blood from the
body: resulting in hygienic meat for the consumer.
II - Western method by C.B.P. Stunning
1. The animals were apparently unconscious soon after
stunning.
2. EEG showed severe pain immediately after stunning.
3. The hearts of the animal stunned by C.B.P. stopped beating
earlier as compared to those of the animals slaughtered
according to the Halal method resulting in the retention of
more blood inthe meat. This in turn is unhygienic for the
consumer.
