I would need to know current French regulations in regards to this

Thank you so much, Dr Pipes. I truly value your point.

I am with you that one can practice their religion as long as it's not disturbing others in any way. In the same way, we exercise of freedom and our given rights.

But I believed that there was some regulation in regards to the way that the animals are killed which was the based of such prohibition. I searched today, and I found this in regards to France:

If the animal needs to be stunned, from my understanding, halal slaughtering can't be performed. Please, correct me if I'm wrong because I am an ignorant at this topic.

If the Islamic practice breaches the law in regards to the welfare of the animals that are stocked in a country, isn't the practice then conflicting with both the law and the neighbours?
