Eurogroup for Animals, Slaughter Without Stunning – 9 Oct 2020

Eurogroup for Animals, Slaughter without stunning – 9 Oct 2020

Methodology: Savanta ComRes interviewed 23,126 adults online between 30 September to 7 October 2020 across 24 of the 27 EU Member States: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Romania, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Czechia, Sweden, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Slovakia, Ireland, Croatia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Latvia, Estonia. Data were weighted to be demographically representative of each. The 3 smallest EU Member States (Cyprus, Malta, Luxembourg) were excluded since it was unfeasible to conduct research in these countries. Data were weighted to be representative of the EU by each country’s relative population size and its demographics by age, gender and region. Savanta ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. Full tables at www.comresglobal.com

Appendix

The following information was shown to respondents before they answered the survey so that they had sufficient understanding about the topic in order to answer the questions:

The European Union law currently states that all animals farmed for food production (e.g. cows, sheep, chickens) must be made unconscious (stunned using electricity, gas or a stun gun) before they are killed using a knife to cut the throat which causes the animal to bleed until death.

However, in the context of some religious practices the European Union law allows countries to slaughter animals while still conscious (i.e. without being stunned beforehand).

An alternative stunning practice that can be used in these circumstances is called ‘reversible electrical stunning,’ where the animal is made unconscious for a short period of time, after which the animal regains consciousness. This practice is compatible with slaughter in the context of religious practices that require the animals to be still alive when the throat is cut.
