Good FD, so we're clear now that the quran does not in fact promote camel urine drinking?

You also argued that the context makes cutting an animals throat more human [sic] than stunning
I said stunning done properly, as its intended to be done, is preferable to throat cutting without stunning.
Thats the fundamental point here.
However i also said that it is clear that under our current system - and thanks to the evidence provided by animal rights activists with hidden cameras and so forth - stunning in our abattoirs is nowhere near as adequate as it should be, and results in enormous suffering. Which led me to the statement that
proper halal slaughter, would probably be more humane that what we do now. Though I hasten to add that improper halal slaughter is rampant in the muslim world, and results in terrible suffering too. But just so we're clear, again, the
best scenario is to use stunning that is done properly.
