huolestuttava ilmiö

kotimaista alkuperää? Jos oli, eiköhän pelkästään hyvä asia? Meillähän täytyy tainnutus tehdä samanaikaisesti teurastuksen kanssa.

saman asian kaupan pakastealtaalla, löytyi broilerin-ja naudanlihakebapia joka oli halal. Eikä varmaan ollu suomalaista, ainakaan ei ollu mainintaa. Vierailin kyseisten tuotteiden valmistajan sivuilla, ja huomasin että yrityksen omistaja on turkkilaista alkuperää oleva mies, joten halal on hänelle siis ilmeisen oikea tapa. Kannattaa laittaa kaupalle palautetta siitä mitä halal-liha on ja ilmoittaa mielipiteensä siitä.

Factory Farming

(See also the sections on Cruelty to Animals and Slaughter of Animals Used for Food and the restrictions thereon.)

Our Holy Prophet(s)'s overwhelming concern for animal rights and their general welfare would certainly have condemned (La'ana) those who practice such methods (factory farming), in the same way as he condemned similar other cruelties in his days. He would have declared that there is no grace or blessing (Brakah) - neither in the consumption of such food nor in the profits from such trades.

Vegetarianism

There is no suggestion in the Qur'an Majeed or in any other of the Islamic sources that eating meat is good for physical or spiritual health. Islam's approach in this matter is neutral; it has left the choice to the individual, but those who opt to eat meat are urged in the Qur'an Majeed to eat in moderation. (The Qur'an 7:31; 5:87 and other verses). Furthermore, there are elaborate and stringent laws governing the ove rall treatment of animals used for food - their rearing and breeding; the pre-slaughter; and handling during and after slaughter.

The Holy Prophet(s) has placed the killing of animals without a justifiable reason as one of the major sins:

Avoid ye the seven obnoxious things {deadly sins}: polytheism; magic; the killing breathing beings! Which God has forbidden except for rightful reason. (Narrated by Abu Huraira. Sahih Mulim - Kitab-ul-Imam (Ref. No. 46); Chapt. XXXIX, Vol.I; p. 52. Bukhari, 4:23. Also Awn, (Ref. No. 32); Hadith No. 2857.

The Arabic word for 'breathing beings' is 'Nafs.' Until recently it used to be taken as meaning 'human beings' only. All the Arabic dictionaries give the meaning of 'Nafs' as 'Ruh' (soul), and since they are breathing creatures, there seems to be no reason why the Qur'anic verses No. 6:151, 152 and others should not comprehend all 'breathing beings', i.e. all species of animals. These verses should be read in conjunction with other verses of the Qur'an Majeed and numerous Ahadith which speak of the sanctity of life as a whole, declare animals as possessing soul (zi Ruhin) and place animals physically on a par with human beings.

The baneful {sinful} things are: polytheism; disobedience to parents; the killing of breathing beings without a valid reason.
(id. Narrated by Abdullah Ibn 'Amr.)

Slaughter of Animals Used for Food

Meat-eating is neither encouraged nor even recommended by Islam: "Say {O Muhammad!} I find not in what has been revealed to me any food {meat} forbidden to those who wish to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood that pours forth, or the flesh of swine - for it is unclean {rijs} - or the sacriligious {fisq} meat which has been slaughtered in anybody's' name other than that of Allah." It is significant to note that these laws have been laid down for those "who wish to eat it" (Ta'imin yat'amohu). Eating meat is not required.

While Islam permits eating meat, it gives instructions to ensure humane slaughter, with as little pain to the victim as possible:

God's Messenger(s) was reported as saying: 'Allah Who is Blessed and Exalted, has prescribed benevolence toward everything {and has ordained that everything be done in a good way}; so, when you must kill a living being, do it in the best manner and, when you slaughter an animal, you should {use the best method and} sharpen your knife so as to cause the animal as little pain as possible. (Narrated by Shaddad bin Aus. Muslim; Vol. 2, Chapter 11; Section on 'Slaying'; 10:739, verse 151. Also 'Robson' (Ref. No. 15); p. 872. Also recorded in Riyad. (Ref. No. 28); Hadith No. 643; p. 131).
The Messenger of Allah was heard forbidding to keep waiting a quadruped or any other animal for slaughter. (Bukhari. Also Muslim; Vol. 2, Chapter 11; Section on 'Slaying'; 10:739; verse 152. Also 'Robson' (Ref. NO. 15), p. 872).
The Prophet(s) forbade all living creatures to be slaughtered while tied up
and bound. (id (Ref. No. 46); Hadith No. 4817; p. 1079).

The Holy Prophet(s) said to a man who was sharpening his knife in the presence of the animal: 'Do you intend inflicting death on the animal twice - once by sharpening the knife within its sight, and once by cutting its throat?' (Al-Furu Min-al-Kafi Lil-Kulini; 6:230).

Hazrat Imam Ali says: "Do not slaughter sheep in the presence of other sheep, or any animal in the presence of other animals." (id (for Hazrat Ali see Ref. No. 4).

Hazrat 'Omar once saw a man denying a sheep, which he was going to slaughter, a satiating measure of water to drink. He gave the man a beating with his lash and told him: "Go, water it properly at the time of its death, you knave!" (Reported by Ibn Sirin about Hazrat 'Omar and recorded in Badae al-Sande; 6:2811).

If animals have been subjected to cruelties in their breeding, transport, slaughter, or in their general welfare, meat from them is considered impure and unlawful to eat (Haram). The flesh of animals killed by cruel methods (Al-Muthiah) is carrion (Al-Mujaththamah). Even if these animals have been slaughtered in the strictest Islamic manner, if cruelties were inflicted on them otherwise, their flesh is still forbidden (Haram) food:

Oh, ye messengers! Eat of the good things {tayyibat} and do righteous deeds. Surely, I know what you do." (Qur'an.23:51).
Oh believers! Eat what We have provided for you of lawful and good things, and give thanks for Allah's favour, if it is He whom you serve. (Qur'an 2:172; 16:114).

The word 'Tayyib', translated as 'good', 'pure', 'wholesome', etc. means pure both in the physical and the moral sense.

The main counsel of Islam in the slaughter of animals for food is to do it in the least painful manner. All the Islamic laws on the treatment of animals, including the method of slaughter, are based in all conscience on "the spirit" of compassion, fellow-feeling and benevolence:

Allah, Who is Blessed and Exalted, has prescribed benevolence toward everything and has ordained that everything be done in the right way; so when you must kill a living being, do it in the proper way - when you slaughter an animal, use the best method and sharpen your knife so as to cause as little pain as possible. (The Sahih Mulsim, 2:156. Also Al-Taaj fi Jaami al-Usool, Vol. 3, p. 110, Cairo Edition. Also Al-Faruo min-al-Kafi, p. 2, and others.)

Failure to stun animals before slaughter causes them pain and suffering. Muslims should give serious thought to whether this is cruelty (Al-Muthiah). If so, then surely the meat from them is unlawful (Haran), or at least, undesirable to eat (Makruh). Al-Azhar University in Cairo appointed a special committee to decide whether the meat of animals slaughtered after stunning was lawful. The committee consisted of representatives of the four acknowledged Schools of Thought in Islam, i.e. Shafii, Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali. The unanimous verdict (Fatwa) of the committee was: "Muslim countries, by approving the modern method of slaughtering, have no religious objection in their way. This is lawful as long as the new means are 'shar' (Ahadd) and clean and do 'cause bleeding' (Museelah al-damm). If new means of slaughtering are more quick and sharp, their employment is a more desirable thing. It comes under the saying of the Prophet(s) 'God has ordered us to be kind to everything' (Inna'l-laha Kataba-'l-ihsan 'ala kulle Shay'in). (The History of Azhar, Cairo; 1964; pp. 361-363)."

To crown all verdicts (Fatawa), here is the 'Recommendation' of a pre-eminent Muslim organization of this century - The Muslim World League (Rabitat al-Alam al-Islami). It was founded in Makkah al-Mukarramah in 1962 A.C. (1382 A.H.) with 55 Muslim theologians (Ulama'a), scientists and leaders on its Constituent Council from all over the world. MWL is a member of the United Nations, UNESCO and the UNICEF. In January 1986 it held a joint meeting with the World Health Organization (WHO) and made the following 'Recommendation' about pre-slaughter stunning (No 3:1. WHO-EM/FOS/1-E, p. 8):

Pre-slaughter stunning by electric shock, if proven to lessen the animal's
suffering, is lawful, provided that it is carried out with the weakest
electric current that directly renders the animal unconscious, and that it
neither leads to the animal's death nor renders its meat harmful to the
consumer.

As of 1989, in the following countries, Muslims were NOT exempt from stunning: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand. The following countries allow only partial exemption to Muslims under special conditions and regulations: Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Finland and Canada.

Providing for Animals Used to Carry Heavy Loads

Animals in the service of man should be used only when necessary and their
comfort should not be neglected

The Prophet(s) once passed by a lean camel whose belly had shrunk to its back. 'Fear God' he said to the owner of the camel, 'in these dumb animals and ride them only when they are fit to be ridden, and let them go free when it is meet that they should rest. (Narrated by Abdullah bin Ja'far. Awn (Ref. No. 32); 7:221; Hadith No. 2532).

About taking care of animals while travelling, the Holy Prophet(s) used to give the following advice

When you journey through a verdant land, {go slow to} let your camels graze. When you pass through an arid area, quicken your pace {lest hunger should enfeeble the animals}. Do not pitch your tents for the night on the beaten tracks, for they are the pathways of nocturnal creatures. (Narrated by Abu Huraira. Sahih Muslim - Kitab-ul-Imam (Ref. No. 53); Vol. III; Chapter DCCVII; Hadith No. 4724; pp. 1062, 1063.

Saying daily prayers (salat) is one of the five most important obligations of the Moslem religion. In the following Hadith, one of his companions tells us that the holy Prophet(s) and his fellow travelers used to delay even saying their prayers until they had first given their riding and pack animals fodder and had attended to their needs: "When we stopped at a halt, we did not say our prayers until we had taken the burdens off our camels' backs and attended to their needs." (Narrated by Anas. Awn (Ref. No. 32); 7:223; Hadith aNo. 5234. Also 'Guillaume' (Ref. No. 57); pp.106, 107).

Hazrat Imam Ali's general advice about pack animals is: "be kind to pack animals; do not hurt them; and do not load them more than their ability to bear." (Maxims (Ref. No. 4)).

Cruelty to Animals

According to the spirit and overall teachings of Islam, causing unavoidable pain and suffering to the defenseless and innocent creatures of God is not justifiable under any circumstances. Islam wants us to think and act in the positive terms of accepting all species as communities like us in their own right and not to sit in judgement on them according to our human norms and values.

Prevention of physical cruelty is not enough; mental cruelty is equally important. In the following incident, a bird's emotional distress has been treated as seriously as a physical injury:

We were on a journey with the Apostle of God(s), and he left us for a while. During his absence, we saw a bird called hummara with its two young and took the young ones. The mother bird was circling above us in the air, beating its wings in grief, when the Prophet came back and said: 'who has hurt the FEELINGS of this bird by taking its young? Return them to her'. (Narrated by Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas'ud. Muslim. Also Awn (Ref. No. 32) Hadith No. 2658. Also "Guillaume' (Ref. No. 57); p. 106).

It is reported by the same authority that: "a man once robbed some eggs from the nest of a bird. The Prophet(s) had them restored to the nest." (id).

The Holy Prophet(s) has even tried the 'Punishment and Reward' approach in the following Ahadith:

The Islamic concern about cruelty to animals is so great that it has declared the infliction of any unnecessary and avoidable pain 'even to a sparrow or any creature smaller than that' as a sin for which the culprit would be answerable to God on the Day of Judgement.

The Prophet(s) told his companions of a woman who would be sent to Hell for having locked up a cat; not feeding it, nor even releasing it so that it could feed herself." (Narrated by Abdullah bin 'Omar. Bukhari, 4:337; recorded in Riyad (Ref. No. 28), Hadith No. 1605; p. 271. Also Muslim, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 2242. English translation by Abdul Hamid Siddiqi; Sh. Muhammad Ashraf, Lahore, Pakistan; 1976; Vol. 4, Hadith No. 5570; p. 1215. (According to the English translation, this Hadith was also narrated by the Abu Huraira and by Naqi who had heard it from Abdullah); Hadith No. 5573; p. 1215.) This Hadith has been recorded by almost all the authentic books of hadith, as the Re. No. 53 will show)

Islam's concern for animals goes beyond the prevention of physical cruelty or even condescending kindness to them, which is a negative proposition. It enjoins on the human species, as the principal primates of animated world, to take over the responsibility of all creatures in the spirit of a positive philosophy of life and to be their active protectors.

The Prophet(s) was asked if acts of charity even to the animals were rewarded by God. He replied: 'yes, there is a reward for acts of charity to every beast alive.' (Narrated by Abu Huraira, Bukhari, 3:322. Also Muslim, Vol. 4; Hadith No. 2244. Also Awn (Ref. No. 32), 7:222, Hadith No. 2533. Also Mishkat al-masabih, Book 6; Chapter 6.

Mishkat Al-Masabih concluded from "Bukhari" and "Muslim" to the effect that: 'A good deed done to a beast is as good as doing good to a human being; while an act of cruelty to a beast is as bad as an act of cruelty to human beings' and that: 'Kindness to animals was promised by rewards in Life Hereafter.' (Mishkat al-Masabih; Book 6; Chapter 7, 8:178.)

The Prophet(s) told his companions of a serf who was blessed by Allah for saving the life of a dog by giving it water to drink and quenching its thirst. (Narrated by Abu Huraira. Muslim, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 2244. Also Bukhari, 3:322. Also Awn (Ref. No. 32); Hadith No. 2533, and others).

To catch birds and imprison them in cages without any special purpose is considered abominable.

No advantages and no urgency of human needs would justify the kind of calculated violence which is being done these days against animals, especially through international trade of livestock and meat. One of the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(s) tells us: "If you must kill, kill without torture." (La taqtolu bi'l-idha'i). While pronouncing this dictum, he did not name any animal as an exception - not even any noxious or venomous creature, such as scorpions and snakes.

Luckily, on this theme, we have quite a few of the Holy Prophet(s) sayings. During the pre-Islamic period, certain pagan superstitions and polytheistic practices involving acts of torture and general cruelties to animals used to be common in Arabia. All such practices were condemned and stopped by Islam. The following few sayings of the Holy Prophet(s) will serve as an example:

Jabir told that God's Messenger(s) forbade striking the face or branding on the face of animals…The same companion of the Holy Prophet(s) reported him as saying, when an ass which had been branded in its face passed him by: 'God curse the one who branded it.' (Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah. Muslim, Vol.3, Hadith No. 2116. Also Awn al-Ma'bud Sharh Abu Dawud (hereafter referred to as Awn); 7:232, hadith No. 2547. Also The Lawful and Unlawful in Islam (in Arabic); Yusuf el-Kardawi; Mektebe Vahba, Cairo; 1977; p. 293. Also 'Robson' (Ref. No. 15); p. 872). This Hadith is concerned with causing pain to the animal on the sensitive parts of its body, as well as with the disfigurement of its appearance.

When the Holy Prophet(s) migrated to Medina from Mecca in 622 A.C., people there used to cut off camels' humps and the fat tails of sheep. The Prophet(s) ordered this barbaric practice to be stopped. The temptation for the people to perform this sort of vivisection on the animals was that the juicy humps and fatty tails could be eaten while the animal remained alive for future use. To remove this avidity, he declared: "whatever is cut off an animal, while it is still alive, is carrion and is unlawful (Haram) to eat." (Narrated by Abu Waqid al-Laithi. Tirmidhi; Hadith No. 1480, Chapt. On Al-At'imah. Also 'Robson' (Ref. No. 15), p. 872).

To make sure that no injury was inflicted on the animal while there was even a flicker of life in it, it was forbidden by the Holy Prophet(s) to molest the carcass in any way, such as: by breaking its neck, skinning, or slicing off any of its parts, until the body is dead cold. One of his sayings on this theme is: "Do not deal hastily with a 'being' before it is stone dead." (Kitab al-Muqni, 3:542. Also Al-Muhalla, 7:457; Ibn Hazm). Hazrat 'Omar ibn al-Khattab used to instruct repeatedly: 'Give time to the slaughtered being' till it is dead cold. (Al-Muhalla, 7:457; Ibn Hazm. Hazrat 'Omar ibn al-Khattab was the second Caliph (634-644 A.C. = 12-22A.H.).

Many other Muslim authorities have also given juristic opinions (fatawa) to the effect that, after slaughter, time should be given for the rigor mortis to set in before cutting up the carcass. (Kitab al-Nil wa Shifa'al-Alil, 4:460).

Another malpractice in Arabia in those days, which caused pain and discomfort to the animals, was stopped by the Holy Prophet(s) in these words: "Do not store milk in the udders of animals…." (Muslim and Bukhari. Also Holy Traditions; 1st Edition; Vol. 1; Muhammad Manzur Ilahi; Ripon Press, Lahore, Paistan; 1932; p. 149).

Not only physical but also emotional care of animals was so much emphasized by the Holy Prophet(s) that he once reprimanded his wife, A'ishah, for treating a camel a bit offhandedly. Hazrat A'ishah herself narrates: "I was riding a restive camel and turned it rather roughly. The Prophet(s) said to me: 'it behooves you to treat the animals gently'. (Narrated by A'ishah. Muslim, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 2593. Also Awn, 7:155, Hadith No. 2461; (Ref. No. 32)).

The Holy Prophet(s) himself was once reprimanded by God for neglecting his horse, as the following Hadith tells us: "The Prophet(s) was seen wiping the face of his horse with his gown (jullabiyah). When asked why he was doing that, he replied: 'Last night I had a reprimand from Allah regarding my horse for having neglected him'. (Narrated by Yahya bin Said. "Malik bin Anas al-Asbhahi". Also Al-Muwatta, (in English); Divan Press, Norwich, England; 1982; p. 205.)

The following Hadith forbids the disfiguration of the body of an animal.

The Prophet(s) said: 'Do not clip the forelock of a horse, for a decency is attached to its forelock; nor its mane, for it protects it; nor its tail, for it is its fly-flap'. (Narrated by 'Utbah ibn Farqad Abu Abdillah al-Sulami. Abu Dawud. Also Awn, 7:216, 217, Hadith No. 2525 (Ref. No. 32)).

The incidents of the Holy Prophet Muhammad's(s) personal grooming of his horse; his wife A'isha's rough handling of her camel; the Holy Prophet's(s) prohibition of cutting forelocks, the mane or tail; the condemnation of striking and branding on the face or ears - all these and many other such Ahadith show that this great man, Muhammad(s) had realized even fourteen centuries ago that animals have a sense of adornment and sensitivity.

Animal Sacrifice

It is not their flesh, nor their blood, that reaches Allah; it is your righteousness {piety and spiritual volition} that reaches Him….Their flesh will never reach Allah, nor yet their blood, but your devotion will reach Him (Qur'an 22:37).

The main purpose of allowing Muslims to continue with animal sacrifices was to turn this tradition into an institution of charity. All the verses of the Qur'an Majeed which deal with the subject wind up with the proviso that the meat be fed to the poor, the needy, those who are too modest to beg as well as the mendicants - those who beg openly (The Qur'an, 2:196; 22:28; 35-37).

In some cases, the offerers of the sacrifice are allowed to consume a portion of the meat themselves, while in others the whole of the carcass is to be given in charity. Sacrifice is meant to be an act of worship and thanksgiving to solicit the approbation of God neither in the sense of atonement nor in the sense of transposing one's sins onto a scapegoat; but it is meant to be an act of benevolence (Ihsan) to fulfill a social obligation. After reading the Qur'anic version of sacrifice, there remains no doubt in one's mind that any sacrifice that is allowed to go to waste is a sinful as well as a criminal violation of the Islamic law (shariah). Verses 22:36 and 37 make this proviso abundantly clear."

The Qur'anic injunctions are so exacting on the point of not taking the life of an animal without a justifiable cause (Be-ghair-e-haqqin) that wasting meat, even by offering it to deities and gods is called a devilish act.

"During the early period of Islam the traditional offerings of animals made some sense. Meat was then an important ingredient of human diet and not even a scrap of it was wasted. Today we have made their killing an emptyritual and forgotten the intent."

A learned Muslim scholar, Sheikh Farid Wagdi, says in his Wagdi's Encyclopaedia - Article on Sacrifice that there might come a day when Muslims shall have to substitute the rite of animal sacrifice with other methods of giving alms.

The Importance of Respecting the Balance of Nature

"Those who take undue advantage of other species break the Divine Law of equilibrium in nature - and nature never forgives." The Qur'an Majeed dwells on this theme recurrently, such as:

Allah has not created all this without truth {Haque} (Qur'an.10:5} for it is He who created everything and ordained it with due potential {Taqdir} (Qur'an.25:2) not to allow any change to corrupt what Allah has created (Qur'an.30:30). Then a warning is given to those people who are guilty of infraction, in these words; "Do they not know how many We have annihilated before them - those whom We had established on earth as more powerful than We have established you…" (Qur'an.6:6).

[Top]



The Importance of Conserving Nature

{Even when the world is coming to an end} On Doomsday, if any one has a palm-shoot in hand, he should plant it. Musnad of Ahmad, 5:440 and 3:184 (hereafter referred to as Musnad).

[Top]



Blood Sports

There are many Ahadith forbidding blood sports and the use of animals as targets, some of which are as follows:

The Prophet(s) condemned those people who take up anything alive as a mere sport." (Narrated by Abdullah bin 'Omar. Muslim, Vol. 3, Hadith No. 1958).

The Prophet(s) forbade blood sports, like the Bedouins. (Narrated by Abdullah Ibn Abbas. Awn, (Ref. No. 32); 8:15, Hadith No. 2603. Also 'Robson'; p. 876 (Ref. No. 15, but it does not mention 'Bedouins').

The Prophet said: 'Do not set up living creatures as a target'. (Narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas. Muslim Vol. 3, Hadith No. 1957. Also 'Robson'; p. 872 (Ref. No. 15).

The Prophet(s) condemned those who use a living creature as a target." (Narrated by Abdullah bin'Omar. Bukhari and Muslim. Also 'Robson' p. 872 (Ref. No. 15)).

The Prophet(s) forbade an animal being made a target." (Narrated by Anas. Recorded by Riyad. (Ref. No. 28); Hadith No. 1606; p. 272.

The Prophet(s) was reported as saying: 'Do not make anything having life as a target'." (Narrated by Ibn Abbas. Sahih Muslim - Kitab-us-Said Wa'dh-Dhaba'ih; Chapter DCCCXXII, Vol. III; Sh. Muhammad Ashraf, Lahore, Pakistan, 1976; Hadith No. 4813; p. 1079; (hereafter referred to as Kitab-us-Said).
Ibn 'Umar happened to pass by a party of men who had tied a hen and were shooting arrows at it. When they saw Ibn 'Umar coming, they scampered off. Ibn 'Umar angrily remarked: 'Who has done this? Verily! Allah's Messenger(s) has invoked a curse upon one who does this kind of thing. (id. Narrated by Said bin Jubair).

The Prophet(s) passed by some children who were shooting arrows at a ram. He told them off, saying: 'do not maim the poor beast'." (Narrated by Abdallah bin Ja'far. An-Nasai, 7:238).

The fact that these Ahadith repeat the same sayings of the Holy Prophet(s) in slightly varying wordings shows that he took the matter very seriously and repeated them again and again on different occasions in the presence of different people. Another significant point to note in this respect is that, to stop the use of animals as targets or in blood sport, the Holy Prophet(s) did the same as he did in the case of camel-humps and sheep-tails, quoted above. He declared their meat as Mujaththema and unlawful (haram) for consumption, according to the following Hadith:

God's Messenger(s) forbade eating a mujaththema {carrion} of a bird or animal set up and shot at as a target for shooting. (Narrated by Waqid al-Laithi. Abu al-Darda. Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 1473, Chapt. 'Al-At'imah'. Also 'Robson' (Ref. No.15); p. 874.

Military Research, Including Wound Labs

One might also appeal to the Islamic law (Shari'ah) to oppose using animals in military research in general and in the so-called wound laboratories in particular. The above-quoted Ahadith, as well as the Juristic Rules, would seem to support the view that our wars are our own problems and that we have no right to make the animals suffer for them.

[Top]



Animals in War

Even in war, animals cannot be killed except if needed for food. Hazrat Abu Bakr, the first Caliph after the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(s) (632-634 A.C.) addressed the Muslim army at a place outside Medina, called Jorf, before sending them off for the battle of Muta. Among the instructions he gave to the soldiers was not to slaughter animals except for food. (The Qur'an, 22:40; Tabari III, p. 123).

nka profeetta kohteli
Kirjoittanut: eläimiä islamissa 28.2.2006 klo 23.37

   http://www.muslimtents.com/pisara/main.html

Profeetan armo eläimiä kohtaan

1. Suhail Ibn al-Handaliyah kertoo: ”Profeetta kulki kerran kamelin ohi, jonka vatsa oli käpristynyt melkein sen selkäluuhun saakka (nälän vuoksi), ja hän sanoi: 'Pelkää Allahia siinä miten kohtelet näitä kuormaeläimiä. Ratsasta niitä kun ne ovat hyvässä kunnossa ja ruoki niitä kun ne ovat hyvässä kunnossa.'” [Kerännyt Abu Dawud, ja al-Arnaout sanoo sen olevan Hasan.]
2. Abdullah1 kertoo hänen isänsä sanoneen: ”Me olimme Profeetan kanssa matkalla, ja hän jätti meidät jotta voisi mennä tarpeilleen. Sillä aikaa me näimme linnun jolla oli poikasia. Me nostimme yhden poikasista ylös ja lintu tuli ja räpisteli siipiänsä. Kun Profeetta palasi hän kysyi: 'Kuka on riistänyt tältä poikasen? Palauttakaa poikanen sille.' Myöhemmin Profeetta näki muurahaispesän jonka me olimme polttaneet, ja hän tiedusteli: 'Kuka poltti tämän?' Me vastasimme: 'Me.' Hän sanoi: 'Ei ole oikein että kukaan rankaisee tulella paitsi Tulen Herra.'” [Kerännyt Ahmad ja muut, ja al-Arnaout vahvistaa sen kertojaketjun.]
3. ”Profeetta tapasi ojentaa vesiastiansa kissalle, ja kun se joi siitä, hän teki rituaalipesun vedellä joka oli jäänyt jäljelle.” [Sahih, kerännyt at-Tabarani.]
4. Profeetta sanoi: ”Allah on määrännyt hyvyyden kaikkeen. Niinpä, jos tapat, tapa hyvin; ja jos teurastat, teurasta kunnolla2 . Jokaisen teistä tulee teroittaa veitsensä terä ja säästää eläin jonka hän teurastaa (tarpeettomilta kärsimyksiltä).” [Kerännyt Muslim.]
5. Ibn Abbas kertoo: ”Profeetta kulki ohi miehen, joka piteli jalkaansa lampaan kyljellä samalla kun teroitti veitsensä terää, ja lammas tuijotti häntä. Profeetta sanoi: 'Haluatko tappaa sen kahdesti? Eikö olisi sopivampaa jos teroittaisit teräsi ennen kuin asetat lampaan makaamaan?'” [Kerännyt al-Hakim, joka sanoo sen olevan Sahih al-Bukharin ja Muslimin ehtojen mukaan. Adh-Dhahabi on samaa mieltä.]
6. Profeetta sanoi: ”Erästä naista rangaistiin koska hän sitoi kissan kiinni kunnes se kuoli. Hän joutui Helvettiin tämän teon vuoksi. Kun hän vangitsi sen, hän ei antanut sille ruokaa tai vettä, eikä laskenut sitä vapaaksi jotta se voisi metsästää itselleen maan hyönteisiä.” [Kerännyt al-Bukhari.]

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 174:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise."

Usko huvikses mitä haluat, mutta kerronpa sinulle mitä itse olemme tehneet.
Kasvatimme kesällä kanoja ja kukkoja ja syksyllä kun emme halunneet änkeä liian montaa eläintä samaan koppiin...meillä kun ei mitään suurkanalaa ole...niin päätimme teurastaa kaksi kukkopoikaa ruoaksi. Lapsille pohjustimme ensin sitä, miten ruoka yleensä tulee suomalaiseen pöytään, ja koko kesä oli hoettu että osa "laumasta " päätyy ruokapöytään.
Yhtenä päivänä sitten oli aika teurastaa, ja ukki tuli ottamaan kukkopojan kiinni, ja se vietiin kauemmaksi muusta "laumasta" (ja näköetäisyyden ulottumattomiin) Mies otti terävän kirveen, ja meni perässä. Yksi lapsista halusi katsomaan, ja paineli mukaan. Miehet kääntyivät kohti Mekkaa, mies lausui "Bismilläähi...." ja samalla ukki asetti käsissään makaavan kukon kaulan alustalle. Yksi isku, ja pää oli poikki....eikä varmana kerennyt kukkopoika siinä tuntea yhtään mitään. Veret valutettiin pois, ja kukko kynittiin ja puhdistettiin ja tuotiin sisälle valmistettavaksi.

Kukkopaisti oli hyvää, ja lapsetkin tiesivät saavansa puhdasta ruokaa, olimmehan koko kesän "lihottaneet" pihallamme häkissä kulkeneita eläimiä hyvin valitulla ruoalla, ja apilaa yms. keräillen....

Antaa tulla vaan vaikka saavilla pas*kaa niskaan, mutta totuus on että jokainen eläin joka ruokapöytään tulee, on tapettu, ja se tainnutuspiikki on ihan turhaa. Terävä veitsi/kirves hoitaa homman siististi. Ja tiedoksi vielä, että päätön kukko kyllä meinasi lentää käsistä...sen verran kovat on ne refleksit, vaikkei aivoja ole koko eläimessä enää kiinni kipua tuntemassa.

Eläinlääkäri mainitsi, että EU.ssa päätetty, että se veri on riskiainesta kuten se selkäydin?nestekin Hullun lehmän taudin takia. Mutta koska käytännön mahdollisuutta hävittämiseen esim. polttamalla ei ole, säännöksestä ei piitata.

Kyllä tosin kannattaa ottaa se veri talteen. Jos kaupasta ostat, maksaa 5€ puoli litraa. Arvokasta tavaraa.

Luin muitakin juttuja ja tässä mietteitä.

Pulttipistooli on hyvä lopettamiseen, etenkin jos haluaa ottaa lihat käyttöön. Se ei pysäytä sydäntä, joten verenlasku onnistuu paremmin. Tosin se eläin ei sitä enää tunne, koska aivot tuhoutuneet, eli siis aivokuollut. Sydän lyö noin. 5 min. pultin jälkeen.

Raatokuljetuksissa ei ole,ainakaan ennen vuodenvaihdetta, lopetusvälineitä. Eläin pitää olla raatona kun kuljetus hakee.

Pulttipistoolia kannatti myös meidän "vakituinen" teurastaja (metsästäjä, joka oli hoitanut hommat vuosia kiväärillä), kun kokeili. Nykyään tekee hommansa sillä. Kylällä on talojen yhteinen pulttipistooli.

Tuolla oli juttua sonnista, joka juoksi pulttipistooli otsassa, kun karkasi. Eihöhän tuossa tilanteessa ole vika kiinnilaitossa, jos eläin voi liikkua ampuessa. Kyllä se eläin juoksee taatusti vaikka millä ampuisi jos huonosti sen tekee. Ei millään pahalla.

Eläin kunnolla kiinni, lopetti sen millä konstilla tahansa. Tällöin vältyy niiltä harhakudeilta ja eläinrääkkäykseltä.

Tullut teurastettua aika monta elukkaa ja voin sanoa ihan varmaksi että 22 ei läheskaan aina riitä. Muutaman kerran on joku tehnyt mullien/hiehojen/lehmien päistä alatoopia ja on tullut todistettua että luoti ei ole aina lävistänyt aivokoppaa vaikka olisi ammuttu kiväärillä ja panoksena ollut esimerkiksi Winsun Laser. Pari "ylösnousemustakin" on tullut koettua vaikka on jo pistetty ja suolet puoliksi pellolla, mennyt vaan taju hetkeksi kankaalle. 22 pistoolilla olen lopettanut sikoja ja joskus on saanut lipastaa uudestaan kun huuto vaan jatkuu.

Kyllä 22 riittää hyvinki normaaleille elukoille,turha sitä
on mitään rambo-pyssyä hommata.Sairaseläinkuskeilla on lähinnä
22 pistooleja ja kiväärejä,pulttipyssytki löytyy, mutta empä oo
kenenkään nähäny käyttävän.Eihän ne puhukka ko tainnuttamisesta,
kyllä elukka pitää pistää vaikkei lihaa talthen ottaska.Se ,että
jos elukka pistämisenki jäläkheen liikheelle lähtee ni kyllä se
on jo lahtarin vika.

Tuosta pistämällä teurastuksesta erään eläinläkärin kanssa joskus keskustelin. Oli sitä mieltä, ettei eläin siinä juurikaan kärsi, vaan jos pistäminen tehdään oikein(eli osutaan kunnolla oikeaan kohtaan), on seurauksena niin raju verenvuoto, että eläin ei kerkiä tuntemaan käytännössä kipua juuri lainkaan.

No kun ei aina putoa. Ota henki pois 100:lta sialta. Annan 100 22 lr panosta ja pistoolin. Lupaan että ainakin 5 huutaa hyppii ja tekee kaikki temput. Kuolee kyllä mutta hetken se kestää eikä katsominen ole mukavaa, mieluummin yrittää parsia. Nautaeläimet kyllä "putoo", mutta voi olla että ilman jatkotoimia nousevat kohta ylös.

Mikä lie sen hylkeen teurastusvideon alkuperä?Joku huhuili että tollaset aktivisti oli sen filmannu ihan provoilutarkoituksessa!!Kerro lisää?

haluaisin tietää???

Oliko varmasti terävä keihäs tai kivi.

Kuinka eläin esin.kissaeläin tappaa hiiren(leikkii jopa sen kanssa) entäs suurempi...onkohan nyt ihan varmasti terävät sapelit suussa?

Kaipaan vastausta?

Kun eläintä lyödään nuijalla päähän,se tuntee kipua,johon se pyörtyy.Sitten lasketaan veri.Halal teurastuksessa valtimot katkaistaan,verenpaine laskee aivoissa,noin 0,1 sekunnissa tajuttomuus ilman kipua.Verrataan vaikka hirven metsästykseen.Pidämme varsin luonnollisena,että huonosti ammuttu eläin joutuu joskus kärsimään pitkäänkin.

no nopeasti..nopeasti...olethan huolissasi.Kenenköhän vika se lienee että siellä ei ole vettä?

Laita luuri kuumaksi ja ilmoita eläintenvalvontaan taas jostakin stereotypiastasi joka lehmiä siellä kiusaa kun kuolevat janoon.Kuivuus on tämän ääriryhmän nimi..muista.

Äitisi voi auttaa tavaamisessa.
