According to a survey done by animal right organization GAIA, about 75% of Belgians think that animals should be anesthetized before being slaughtered. 72% think slaughtering should be forbidden without previous anesthesia. 79% think that animals suffer if they're not anesthetized before slaughter (that's 91% in West Flanders and 69% in Brussels).
87% (81% in Brussels) think animals should be anesthetized during regular slaughter, while 79% (67% in Brussels) think that this should be done also for ritual slaughter.
The study was done since senator Jean-Marie Dedecker proposed a bill to require anesthesia before slaughter. Sweden and Switzerland already have such a law. Such a law would affect both Muslim and Jewish ritual slaughtering.

Will the Europeans be given an anesthesia before they are slaughtered by Islam? It's the right thing to do.
