Do animals suffer pain during slaughter?

Question

Zabiyah way or any type of way.....
I feel about the same thing for child birth and humans death.

Answer 1

this question is just pathetic.

People who say that animals do not feel pain are just coldhearted and ignorant. If that helps you with the fact that your eatting a murdred animal, thats just sad and you need to grow up.

What does this have to do with religion?

Answer 2

Question:
Why do Muslims slaughter the animal in a ruthless manner by torturing it and slowly and painfully killing it?
Answer:
The Islamic method of slaughtering animals, known as Zabiha has been the object of much criticism from a large number of people.
Before I reply to the question, let me relate an incidence about a discussion between a Sikh and a Muslim regarding animal slaughter.
Once a Sikh asked a Muslim, "Why do you slaughter the animal painfully by cutting the throat instead of the way we do with one stroke i.e. jhatka?" The Muslim replied "We are brave and courageous and attack from the front. We are marad ka baccha (macho men), you are cowards and attack from behind".
Jokes apart, one may consider the following points, which prove that the Zabiha method is not only humane but also scientifically the best:

1. Islamic method of slaughtering animal
Zakkaytum is a verb derived from the root word Zakah (to purify). Its infinitive is Tazkiyah which means purification. The Islamic mode of slaughtering an animal requires the following conditions to be met:
a. Animal should be slaughtered with sharp object (knife)
The animal has to be slaughtered with a sharp object (knife) and in a fast way so that the pain of slaughter is minimised.
b. Cut wind pipe, throat and vessels of neck
Zabiha is an Arabic word which means ‘slaughtered’. The ‘slaughtering’ is to be done by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck causing the animal’s death without cutting the spinal cord.
c. Blood should be drained
The blood has to be drained completely before the head is removed. The purpose is to drain out most of the blood which would serve as a good culture medium for micro organisms. The spinal cord must not be cut because the nerve fibres to the heart could be damaged during the process causing cardiac arrest, stagnating the blood in the blood vessels.
2. Blood is a good medium for germs and bacteria
Blood is a good media of germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. Therefore the Muslim way of slaughtering is more hygienic as most of the blood containing germs, bacteria, toxins, etc. that are the cause of several diseases are eliminated.
3. Meat remains fresh for a longer time
Meat slaughtered by Islamic way remains fresh for a longer time due to deficiency of blood in the meat as compared to other methods of slaughtering.
4. Animal does not feel pain
The swift cutting of vessels of the neck disconnects the flow of blood to the nerve of the brain responsible for pain. Thus the animal does not feel pain. While dying, the animal struggles, writhers, shakes and kicks, not due to pain, but due to the contraction and relaxation of the muscles defecient in blood and due to the flow of blood out of the body.

Allah pronounced in the Quran that animals, fish, poultry and seeds are halal for us to consume. There are regulations for slaughtering the animals so as that they sense minimum discomfort. The bade could be very sharp, the animal shouldn't see yet another animal being slaughtered and shouldn't see the blade. It additionally could be slaughtered from the neck the place the main vein would be decrease so as that it dies right now. The decrease could be very final no longer leaving the animal 0.5 ineffective. Islam is approximately mercy for animals as nicely as for people. Any residing soul could be dealt with with mercy. Our prophet tells country woman who's to flow to hell by way of fact she tortured a cat! Peace

Answer 4

Animals particularly mammals have a developed nervous system. They do feel pain during slaughter, and their agony becomes a karmic debt for all those who were responsible for its killing...butcher as well as eaters.

They cant tell us their pain does not mean, they do not suffer.. i know they know forehand before being butchered due to their high intuition (animals's intuition was clearly seen by millions during Asia Tsunami)

Man is biologically a veggie animal (going by the canines, way of drinking water, length of intestines.)

Morally, an animal can be eaten only if there is nothing else to eat.

The bushmen of Africa are more advanced morally, as when they kill the animal...they ask for forgiveness from him....saying he had to kill him to fill stomach of his children...but he is sorry for the kill

Answer 5

NO. In Zabiha way nerve which carries pain information to mind cuts down so no pain feeling to animal.
Animal moves only because of Heart still pumps blood and helps to pump out maximum blood from body.
Blood is responsible of fast bacteria growth so when maximum blood comes out from animal body, Zabiha animal is more suitable and healthy to eat as compare to non Zabiha animal.
