In the UK, 58 percent of Halal meat comes from animals which have been stunned before slaughter and certified Halal. All animals slaughtered under the Shechita (for Kosher) are non-stunned. When an animal is killed without being stunned, it will only become unconscious and insensitive to pain after prolonged blood loss, resulting in a terrifying and excruciating death. This means they can be conscious from 20 seconds to over two minutes, depending on the species. This gives religion a very bad blood name!
