PETITION GEGEN DAS SCHAECHTEN

The time has come that all people from all religions in this world acknowledge that all animal are our fellow creatures and have the right to be treated with respect. All people who want to eat their fellow creatures they have a duty to not harm them unnecessarily and to avoid causing them pain. The killing of animals therefor should be under circumstances where the animal does NOT feel physical. After all, they already have to suffer the psychological pain that is being inflicted on them whilst being transported, where they are often prodded with electric devices and subjected to cold or hot weather conditions and witnessing others being slaughtered and torn apart in front of their eyes. Now is the time for all mankind to show some humanity. Please make it illegal to slaughter any animal, without first being completely sedated.
Yours faithfully,
Helmuth Haass
