In my opinion, the two things have nothing to do with each other. I can understand people drawing parallels because of their nature, but both the religious slaughter and the slaughter of a healthy giraffe just because of space requirements are wrong and should be condemned. I signed a lot of petitions in favour of the giraffe, but in the end it seems it couldn't be stopped. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to stop both that and the religious animal torture.

I don't disagree. However, getting the people angry over religiously sanctioned food by using something that appears to be completely irrelevant is proof that people are stupid and easily manipulated. Unfortunately, the government, corporations, and people have been doing that forever (almost every excuse for war comes to mind).

Well, you might have signed petitions. I signed a lot of peririons. Hey, maybe that's why it didn't work!

Apparently neither do zoo lions.

Again, I don't eat halal. So my giraffe supply is safe.

Here you go[^]
I dare say there is similar Kosher bacon. I ate this stuff when I was over in the middle east, it tastes exactly like what it is: processed beef flavoured with the same stuff they put on bacon flavoured crisps.
Now here is the question: how would people keeping halal (or Kosher) acquire the taste for haram (or non-kosher) meat.

They won't. They think that Halal and Kosher bacon is real bacon. They are delusional.
Once you eat real bacon there is no going back.

It is just a new religion Dave.
Halal and Kosher bacon is called Facon and it is an abomination, yet Danish Bacon prices will rise anyway, no doubt.

Fake bacon. A vegetarian substitute for bacon, usually made from Textured Vegetable Protein.

They can fool themselves all they want but it can never pass as bacon.

Yet the traditions of the Faroe islanders hunting whales and dolphins are upheld. We're a funny (and inconsistent) species really.

I signed petitions against that too. Equally disgusting and cruel. But it's not fair to blame that one on Denmark. Even though the Faroe Islands do belong to Denmark, they are self-governing, and it's the Faroe parlament that is to blame for not taking action against that!
