Good interview. Catherine raised some very good points, especially the fact that the FAWC report is not the definitive opinion on the matter, and there are other scientists with contrasting views.

Thanks Catherine. The only point I can say to be constructive is that I felt the statements said by Catherine should have been made more confidently.

The Farm Animal Welfare Council made similar assertions about religious slaughter back in 2004. The MCB responded and made some very good points. It quoted scientific research proving that religious slaughter is not cruel.
