also, apart from possible issues with religious freedoms (although im dubious about raising this in an AR context), people wont suddenly stop eating a specific meat if its banned. Muslims can ONLY eat halal therefore, imports will skyrocket from places that do allow halal butchery, at a time when its getting more and more important to buy local. air miles on products all add up.

Ooh, how about creating a system of farming that uses the manure from animals to enrich the land that we grow our veg in. We could look after the animals and give them a healthy life free from chemicals and stress and a quick death. a proper rotation... you get the picture but you probably won't agree... Ooh, how about creating a society that is tolerant of others customs... fuck it.

All slaughter is barbaric

Let us not pretend for a second that western slaughter is in any way humane, neither Muslims or Jews eat dead pigs some of whom reach the scalding tanks still alive and are boiled to death. Halal slaughter properly done is quite probably mouch more humane than the factory hell holes where living creatures are carved up as they shit themselves in terror, pre stunning is just a sop for the squeamish who want to beliveve that it is all nice, clean and humane, well go and have a look, The Malton bacon factory in Yorkshire where they carve up 10,000 pigs a day is a good place to see for yourself. You will see pigs punched, kicked and electronically prodded as they cower terrified. So much fuss when foreigners beat up dogs before eating them, what is the difference between that and eating bacon after all pigs are certainly at least as intelligentb as dogs?
I have nothing but disgust for both types of slaughter and certainly have no respect for any culture or religion which advocates torturing and killing the helpless for no better reason than taste whether they be Muslim, Jews, Christians or atheists.

How benefit "reforms" will force claimants into working for these places.

A documentary showed resentful men torturing living animals in the slaughter houses, taking things out on them and abusing them. One of the workers remarked on an abusive colleague who was torturing a pig : "He's going to get to kill it in a minute anyway, I don't know why he's doing all that, that's out of order..I mean he's gonna kill it anyway in a minute so there's no need for all that".
While the benefit "reforms" have implications all over the country [this could see factories, slaughter houses, building sites etc all signing up to a scheme where they don't have to pay people and we all become slaves...[remember the YOP schemes?] this will lead to people who should not be near another living thing working in these hell holes for slave wages as slave labour...in workhouses basically...and the animals are the ones who will have it taken out on them.
The documentary [as discussed above] also showed what happened in "Kosher" and "Halal" slaughter houses that used machines to kill the animals. This was utterly barbaric and "old school" Halal butchers were against the use of these killing contraptions. Few Halal mass slaughter houses kill the animals in the traditional Halal way [as described by Lyn] and the terrified animals die an evil and inhumane death where Halal butchery machines are used. It is very unlikely that the animals will not know what is going on [one of the rules of Halal] in which case modern Halal where the animals are factory slaughtered isn't truly Halal anyway.

Meat farming becomes socially unnaceptable when we educate ourselves. One reason to go Vegan, or just to not buy farmed meat, is the argument that "Till all are free, none are free" which came out of the anti slavery movement. This slogan was an argument for solidarity between wage slaves and endentured slaves. I suppose that if you're being hunted then you are free but you're probably not very happy, but this is off subject. Anyway, the governments cunning plan to bring back slavery ought to be one ban we can stop.
