Plans to use public money to fund a halal abattoir in Wales that uses non-stun slaughter has sparked fury. File photo Vets have condemned plans to use taxpayers' money to fund a halal abattoir that uses non-stun slaughter. The British Veterinary Association is calling on the Welsh government to end talks with Pak Mecca Meats over subsidising job creation at its Cig Menai Cymru abattoir in Caernarfon, Wales. On its website, the company says it supplies the 'best quality stun free meat in accordance with the highest halal procedures'. It adds that 'given the choice 90% of Muslims prefer non-stun method of slaughter when it comes to consuming halal meat'.
